(ANSA) - Rome, October 22 - Premier Giuseppe Conte on Monday
said that a member of the European Commission was prejudiced
against his government and its budget plans.
"If a European Commissioner said that this budget will be
rejected before he has read it and before it has been presented,
I say that this is a prejudice and it is unacceptable that it
comes from someone who represents an institution like the EU,"
Conte said at the foreign press association in Rome in an
apparent reference to Budget Commissioner Günther Oettinger.
"We must not shy away from the fact that this government is
held up by two parties that are called nationalist and described
as anti-system," Conte said.
"This does not mean that they are two parties that want to
discard the rule of law, although they do put many laws in
doubt.
"We don't want anarchy. We are here to renew the system.
"Ours is a gentle revolution".
