Premier Mario Monti proposed austerity plan
on Sunday requiring Italians to sacrifice €30 bn in order to reduce country's burden. Monti's plan includes
linking pension to total employee contributions instead of last salary, revise
property taxes and impose taxes on luxury goods. Monti's plan is the third attempt
to introduce debt reduction since July and is expected to face resistance both
from Parliament and Italian citizens.
