Italy's deputy prime minister Luigi Di Maio spoke to Ansa

Di Maio also said that the government could face a serious problem if it fails to introduce measures to provide a citizens' income in the budget. As mentioned before, Tria has been playing "good cop" in all of this and the market is taking it in stride that the government is likely to comply with EU limits regarding the budget proposal.

However, fiscal actions is a separate issue and if the government rolls out stuff like citizens' income, tax cuts, and pension reform all at one go then it'll be tough to see how those will fit into the budget.
