Agriculture Minister Stefano
Patuanelli confirmed on Wednesday that Premier Mario Draghi's
government is set to approve a deviation from its budget target
of around 40 billion euros, the latest in a series of such
deviations passed to tackle the COVID-19 emergency.
"The deviation by another 40 billion euros is fundamental in
order to alleviate the suffering of thousands of small and
medium-sized enterprises with additional interventions to
support the real economy and make sure the country's social
fabric remains intact," Patuanelli said after a cabinet meeting.
