Govt nixes petition on vetoing EU budget

(ANSA) - Rome, October 26 - The government on Wednesday nixed a petition from the small Italian Left (SI) party binding the government, as Premier Matteo Renzi warned Tuesday, to veto the EU budget if Italy does not get the help it wants on the migrant and refugee emergency, SI House whip Arturo Scotto said.
    "It's incredible, they rejected exactly what Renzi said on TV last night...we're awaiting clarification," Scotto said.
