(ANSA) - Rome, August 16 - The League, unlike the democratic
Party (PD), has already voted for the reduction of Italy's MPs
and Senators from 1000 to 655, a flagship policy move of the
5-Star Movement (M5S), League leader Matteo Salvini said Friday.
He said cutting the MP numbers by 345 would save about half a
billion euros.
By contrast, he said, the League's "serious and brave" policy
of closing Italy's ports to NGO migrant rescue ships had brought
savings of two billion euros.
