Deputy Premier and Labour and
Industry Minister Luigi Di Maio said Monday there was no doubt
that the government would slash so-called golden pensions -
State pensions that are very high.
"They must be cut, there is no discussing this," 5-Star
Movement (M5S) Di Maio said amid reports their coalition
partners, Interior Minister Matteo Salvini's League, were
pushing back against the plan.
"The M5S are in favour of cutting all golden pensions and we
will reiterate our position with the Premier (Giuseppe Conte) in
a meeting of the ruling majority.
"I'm sure we'll find an solution because no one is so
suicidal as to want to block these cuts at a time when the
Italian people are angry".
