Maroni says EU fiscal compact is an "imposition"

18:22 28 APR 2012 

(AGI) Milan - "I hope the Italian parliament will not ratify it. We are ready to lead a huge battle against it". That's how Northern League top member Roberto Maroni commented the EU fiscal compact. During a public event, held at Palazzo Marino together with Milan mayor Giuliano Pisapia and Giorgio Squinzi, Maroni defined the fiscal compact "a real imposition by Europe on the member states". It is a "disgraceful, iniquitious" deal, because it represents "not only the deletion of the member states' capacity to manage the resources, it also takes away the people's sovereignty".
