Visiting President sergio
Mattarella on Friday reassured German Chancellor Angela Merkel
on Italy's welfare reforms featuring a basic income and a quota
100 pension overhaul.
Mattarella reassured Merkel that the reforms made financial
sense, with the sums contained in the 2019 budget.
The budget is being monitored by the European Commission,
Mattarella added.
The president noted that he will shortly get the decree
introducing the two flagship measures, and will sign it.
