Alfano blasts wealth tax idea (2)

(ANSA) - Rome, September 7 - Interior Minister Angelino Alfano said Wednesday that his New Centre Right (NCD) party, a junior partner in Premier Matteo Renzi's coalition government, will not vote for the 2016 budget bill if it features a wealth tax. "If there is a wealth tax in the budget law it will not have our vote," Alfano told a press conference at the Lower House.
    "We have started talking about a wealth tax again because of a nervous tic of the Italian left.
    "We are focused on enhancing the value of the home and so we are on the opposite site of a wealth tax".
