"A country able to make reforms at home is the most authoritative in Europe". A phrase that Matteo Renzi several times, in recent times, he repeated it. However, never in these days makes it clear how connected the two fronts – the two "historical battles" to quote his words – that the prime minister is fighting: the one in Brussels on the Budget law and that of Italy on the referendum.
Win the one to win the other. And vice-versa. As ever in the past, the president of the Council is doing the voice of big the Europe. And not just him. Because his words make the couple with those of the minister of Economy, Pier Carlo Padoan, who, in an interview to 'the Republic' – she claims that if the Eu were to block the maneuver italiana "would be the beginning of the end." An intervention which, of course, the premier was at the current.
Technically, the dispute is to play on the 0.1% of Gdp, i.e. 1.6 billion lire. Tomorrow it could get to Italy (and five other Countries) the letter with a request for clarification from the part of Brussels. The doubts, the revenue, relate to the too many one-off, while between the outputs of the perplexity would fall mainly on the national plan for the protection, earthquake resistant, considered structural and non-emergency.
the face of the arrival of the missive, essentially, Renzi shrugs and plays. “How many times has sent it? Always. In how many Countries? At least 5 or 6. It is the physiological dialogue between the institutions,” he says. As for that controversial 0,1% more, the president of the Council argues that it is not there in the point of the question. “I – says – I want to defend Italy, in the historical battle, because the european budget keep together with the rights and duties". A theme that relates, in the words of the president of the Council, also that of the reception. “We are not fighting with Europe. We are saying – insisting – that in the past Italy has always said yes to everything, but we are contributors of Europe: every year, we give 20 billion, and we take only 12. We can begin to ensure that those who take money to take the migrants? But the Countries of the East saved from the Eu today, close the doors".
” of Course, explain the sources of Pd, in the choose of tones, so hard, not been a stranger to Renzi, the awareness of how much grip in the battle for Europe-stepmother has on a part of the electorate. Above all, to the right. Where, for the admission of the premier, it is necessary to go fishing if you want to win the constitutional referendum. By the opposition parliamentarians, however, comes another accusation: that of having filled the tax decree of tips and expression "to their little consent for the purposes of the referendum" (in the words of the Brunette). And it is here that the two battles are back to intersect with.
of those same oppositions, however, Renzi, launches an appeal so that they can share the european challenge. “I hope – says – that our proposal to re-discuss the european budget and the financial rules may be carried forward even in spite of the referendum in 2017, we will discuss the the Fiscal compact,” which should or not be included in the Treaties. "I hope – insists – that throughout the Country there is on these issues".
