(ANSA) - Rome, December 10 - Deputy Premier and Labour and Industry Minister Luigi Di Maio said Monday there was no doubt that the government would slash so-called golden pensions - State pensions that are very high. "They must be cut, there is no discussing this," 5-Star Movement (M5S) Di Maio said amid reports their coalition partners, Interior Minister Matteo Salvini's League, were pushing back against the plan. "The M5S are in favour of cutting all golden pensions and we will reiterate our position with the Premier (Giuseppe Conte) in a meeting of the ruling majority.
    "I'm sure we'll find an solution because no one is so suicidal as to want to block these cuts at a time when the Italian people are angry".
