In Italy, a heated debate over taxation has emerged, with government officials clarifying their stance on new taxes.

Vice Premier Antonio Tajani emphasized that the government does not intend to increase taxes on citizens, but rather focus on ensuring that web giants pay their fair share.

This comes amid discussions on economic sacrifices and the need for fiscal growth without raising taxes.

The government aims to lower tax pressure to stimulate growth, while opposition voices express concern over potential increases in fuel taxes.

Meanwhile, discussions continue on adjusting minimum pensions and maintaining strict early retirement rules.
