Meloni misunderstood Messina's criticism of budget, Chigi clarifies

Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni's office clarified her earlier comments regarding Intesa Sanpaolo CEO Carlo Messina's criticism. Meloni mistakenly believed Messina was criticizing the entire 2027 budget bill rather than just the superbonus tax credits extension. The clarification indicates that her response was based on a misunderstanding of the context of Messina's statements, which specifically addressed the restructuring of tax credits. Had she understood the reference correctly, she would have avoided using the phrase "it is a matter of fairness."
