Premier Giorgia Meloni on Thursday
hailed Defence Minister Guido's Crosetto's vow that the
government will take a machete to break the chains of red tape
strangling start-ups in Italy.
She said the government was now "strong enough" ti implement
deep changes to Italian bureaucracy to make the country more
attractive to foreign businesses while also stocking domestic
growth.
Crosetto on Wednesday blasted nay-saying bureaucrats saying they
stood in the way of business start-ups and the modernization of
the Italian economy which is one of the key aims of the massive
post-COVID EU-funded National Recovery and Resilience Plan
(NRRP).
Crosetto said he would take a machete to the chains of red tape
that bind the Italian economy and slow down its development.
He said the completion time for public works in Italy must be
cut from the present average of 17 years to just four or five.
"A public work now takes 17 years, it will have to become four
or five," Crosetto told Rome-based Il Messaggero newspaper.
"And with courage one will have to use the machete with the
chains that block the development of Italy."
