No more 'empty cheques' for South- Renzi

(ANSA) - Taranto, July 29 - Premier Matteo Renzi said Friday that his government was ending the practice of giving empty promises in its policies to develop Italy's less wealthy southern regions. "Too often in the past the political world has paid with cheques that bounce in Taranto," Renzi said during a visit to the southern city's archaeological museum. "We are here to say that the time of bouncing cheques is over".
