(ANSA) - Rome, December 6 - Deputy Premier and Interior
Minister Matteo Salvini will meet on Sunday with the heads of 12
business associations that took part in a protest in Turin on
Monday to complain about the budget and say they are in favour
of the TAV Turin-Lyon high-speed rail link, sources said
Thursday.
The meeting with Salvini and Cabinet Secretary Giancarlo
Giorgetti will take place at the interior ministry, the sources
said.
Salvini hit back on Tuesday at Confindustria after its leader
criticised the government.
"Some people were silent for years while entrepreneurs and
artisans were getting massacred," Salvini said.
"Now they should let us work (in peace)".
During the demonstration Confindustria President Vincenzo
Boccia suggested that Premier Giuseppe Conte should quit if he
is unable to convince his two deputies, Salvini and Labour and
Industry Minister Luigi Di Maio of the 5-Star Movement (M5S), to
bring down the deficit enough to avoid an EU infringement
procedure.
