Borghi: Italy's League Wants to Cut Taxes by Rising Deficit a Little Bit

Reuters

   ROME - Italy's ruling League party would seek tax cuts in the 2020
   budget by rising the country's deficit a little bit, its economics
   spokesman said on Monday.

   League chief Matteo Salvini pulled the plug last week on its coalition
   government with the anti-establishment 5-Star Movement, starting a
   potential countdown to elections, which the country may need to tackle
   alongside preparing its budget in the fall.

   "We need to pursue a tax cut and it is obvious that a small proportion
   will be funded with the deficit", League's economics chief Claudio
   Borghi said in an interview with state-owned television RAI.
