Deputy Premier and Foreign Minister
Antonio Tajani said Wednesday that the government does not need
a cabinet reshuffle, with European Affairs Minister Raffaele
Fitto set to leave the government to become an executive vice
president of the European Commission.
"I am strongly against any type of reshuffle," Forza Italia
leader Tajani told Radio1.
"It was not necessary to replace (Gennaro) Sangiuliano," he
continued, referring to the former culture minister who recently
quit over a scandal over an affair he had with a would-be
advisor and was substituted by conservative journalist
Alessandro Giuli.
"A reshuffle isn't necessary. There is no political problem
within the ruling coalition".
Tajani added that Economy Minister Giancarlo Giorgetti has
spoken to him and ruled out imposing a windfall tax on bank's
extraordinary profits in the 2025 budget law, something the FI
chief is opposed to.
