MPs 'don't want to cut their pay' (2)

(ANSA) - Rome, October 26 - Italian MPs "don't want to cut their salaries," anti-establishment 5-Star Movement (M5S) leader Beppe Grillo said Wednesday amid stonewalling from the ruling centre-left Democratic Party (PD) and other parties against an M5S bill that would halve MPs' pay. The M5S has long been campaigning against high MPs' salaries, a popular campaign among voters. Italian MPs are the fifth-highest paid in the EU, according to a report from the Lower House.
