Veneto banks intervention dutiful -Renzi

(ANSA) - Rome, June 27 - Democratic Party (PD) leader Matteo Renzi said Tuesday that he supported the government's intervention to stop a disorderly failure of two medium-sized Veneto banks. "(Premier Paolo) Gentiloni expressed the government's position very clearly - it was a legitimate, dutiful decision," Renzi said. "I agree with him. It was legitimate and dutiful in that situation. I hope that our MEP are capable of conducting a great battle so that the highly selective criteria of the Veneto banks is applied to institutes of other northern countries, such as the German ones".
