Italy's deputy prime minister Luigi Di Maio speaks in Brussels

  • Budget will include citizens' income, pension reforms, tax cuts
  • Sees 'courageous' budget which will bet on growth
  • EU institutions, ECB will believe in what we are doing
  • Says that there is no request for Tria to resign
  • Not aware of any delay to today's Cabinet meeting

Di Maio continues to push forward with his agenda with a degree of confidence there. If the budget is to include all the three mentioned, it's hard to see it fall within a target of under 2% really.
