(ANSA) - Milan, September 28 - Interior Minister and Deputy
Premier Matteo Salvini said Friday that the government would
"press on" if the European Commission gives the thumbs down to
its 2019 budget. "We consider ourselves to be working for the
country's growth, to give back faith, hope, energy and work,"
Salvini said after the government announced it would let the
deficit-to-GDP ratio rise to 2.4% next year. "So I'm happy with
what we've done over the last four months and what we will do
over the next four years".
