(ANSA) - ROME, AUG 21 - No pension reform can be sustained
with Italy's falling birth rate, Economy Minister Giancarlo
Giorgetti said Monday.
"The issue of he falling birth rate, which I raised a few months
ago and which I intent to raise again, is fundamental: there is
no (pension) reform or social security measure that can hold up
in the medium or long term with the birth rate numbers that we
are seeing in this country today," the rightwing League party
heavyweight told the annual Meeting rally of the influential lay
Catholic group Communion and Liberation (CL) in Rimini.
