Interior Minister Matteo Salvini
on Wednesday answered a question on budget tensions with the EU
by saying "if they stop insulting I'm calm. I have never raised
the tones: I don't raise the tones and I don't raise glasses...I
don't do anything".
On Tuesday Salvini said he was ignoring European Commission
President Jean-Claude Juncker because "I talk to sober people".
Earlier Wednesday he urged people to google "Juncker sober"
and "Juncker staggering around (drunk)".
The EC said in a statement Wednesday it had "always
respected" Italy.
