(ANSA) - ROME, MAR 29 - Former premier and leader of the
opposition Five Star Movement (M5S) Giuseppe Conte said on
Wednesday his party didn't support "favours for tax evaders"
after the government included a shield on tax crimes in a decree
helping people with their energy bills.
"We oppose all regulations that contain amnesties," said Conte.
"We do not want favors for tax evaders, but favors for citizens
who are in difficulty, for citizens who have to wait a long time
to access emergency medical care, for a diagnostic examination
or for surgery. We want favors for citizens who have to pay a
mortgage, for the frail. These are the favors we are fighting
for," he added.
On Tuesday the government approved a decree including measures
to support families and businesses against high bills and
interventions in favour of the health sector, with a resource
allocation of EUR 4.9 billion. (ANSA).
