Milano, Aug. 13 (LaPresse) – “I see that some in the majority are keeping quiet or have been annoyed by the issue of banks: it is nothing against anyone, I have nothing against Intesa Sanpaolo, or Unicredit, or Mediolanum, or Monte dei Paschi, which we also saved. However, it is the sector that is earning the most of all in Italy, and it is citizens who make these profits possible by paying interest and commissions. At the end of the year, part of these profits, around 10 billion euros, will be invested in healthcare and security; this is something the League will not back down on. They did it in Spain, I reiterate it, it is the only measure of the Sanchez government that I agreed with, they brought home almost 5 billion, and the banks in Spain are earning as if nothing had happened.” This is what Deputy Prime Minister Matteo Salvini said regarding the taxation of banks’ excess profits.
Budget, Salvini: “10 billion from banks for healthcare and security even if it annoys allies”
