(ANSA) - ROME, OCT 15 - Italy's banks will "contribute" some
three-four billion euros to the 2025 budget, Deputy Premier and
Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani said Tuesday, while reiterating
that "there won't be any new taxes" in the package to be
discussed at cabinet Tuesday night.
Tajani, who is leader of the centre-right post Berlusconi Forza
Italia (FI) party, has set his face against a tax on the surplus
profits of banks, which has instead been championed by his
fellow deputy premier, Transport Minister and rightwing League
party leader Matteo Salvini.
Salvini has said "the banks must pay, not the taxpayers".
