Ready for conflict of interest law

(ANSA) - Rome, April 4 - Premier Matteo Renzi told the executive of his Democratic Party (PD) Monday that the government was ready to pass a conflict of interest bill, denying critics' claims it was a government influenced by lobbies. "People who steal from a public works project must go to jail, if they plea bargain they must return the last cent because that is one of our reforms," he said. We passed a bill on environmental crimes and we want to vote a bill on conflict of interests. They should accuse others of being a government of lobbies, I say it's my task to make sure a project blocked for years should be realised".
