Budget, Conte: ‘Government invests in weapons and cuts fall on regions and municipalities’

Rome, 15 November (LaPresse) – ‘If a national government invests in weapons and defunds everything else, cutting spending on healthcare, education, innovation and nurseries, unfortunately everything falls on the regions and municipalities. So we also need to take action to strengthen the welfare system, given that families and businesses themselves are in great difficulty today.’ This was stated by M5S leader Giuseppe Conte during a press conference in Galatina (Lecce) on the sidelines of his visit to the Santa Caterina Novella hospital.
