The comparison with Europe is on Sunday the Italian is back again at the highest political levels, with a hard call-and-response between the president of the Eu Commission, Juncker and prime minister Renzi to report a distance of views is still very marked. Juncker is angry with the Government that accuses “wrong” the Commission reiterate the austerity of the past. Accusation that does not touch him: “I do not care in reality” of the allegations on the continuation of the austerity policies, ” said the president. Renzi, instead, insists that the money for school construction, “we put them out by the stability Pact, like it or not Brussels officials,” and in a meeting with mayors in the area of Asti reaffirms: “we may Not be the piggy bank of the Countries who claim solidarity only when there is to take and not to give.”
The minister of development Calenda for his part, said: “I heard the cabinet Juncker and their the joke refer to the charge of being in favour of austerity, and then not to Italy, but remains unhappy
indeed very unfortunate. What struck me more than the ‘I care’ and’ that Juncker has mentioned a series of numbers on the deficit of the Italian absolutely wrong, and a spokesperson says that he improvised, which leaves some concern.”
In the middle, the commissioner Moscovici (which invites you to “cool” tones) and the minister of economy Padoan, who attempt, in the umpteenth bilateral after the Eurogroup, to get closer to the positions prior to the judgement, the european council on the stability 2017 coming in the next week. Juncker is bothered by the criticism, which continues to receive from the Italian part, in spite of the help obtained on the flexibility: “Italy will not stop attacking the Commission wrongly, and this will not produce the expected results,” he said, speaking to european trade unions. Italy, he continues, “can no longer say, and if you want to say you can do it but in reality I do not care, that austerity policies would have been carried on by this Commission as they had been put in place previously.” the Words “direct”, defines the commissioner Moscovici, in charge at the end of the day, demining the land on which moves the comparison between Rome and Brussels. Words that have already sparked criticism from the foreign minister, Gentiloni, convinced that “certain limits should not be exceeded”. But for Moscovici, there was no intent aggressive Juncker, only a direct response to the comments equally direct arrived from Italy.

On the substance of the debate, i.e. the maneuver, Renzi takes the point: “Juncker says that I’m polemic. We don’t do controversy, we do not look for anyone. Because one thing is the respect of the rules, the other is that these rules can go against the stability of the schools of our children. You can discuss investments for the future, but on the school construction, there is no chance to stop us: we that money we put them out by the stability Pact, like it or not Brussels officials”. The premier remains firm on the numbers included in the draft of the stability law, presented in Brussels: 0.2% expenses for prevention and the securing of the territory (including the project ‘Casa Italia’) and 0.2% for the reception of migrants. In total, the 0.4% that, if it were to be discounted from the structural deficit, would lead to 1.2%, a threshold that does not require any effort. Previously he himself had mentioned to a stress equal to 0.1%, and then to define, via its spokesperson, that that figure was “improvised” and it was “corrected later”.
For Italy, the stresses in the environments of the Mef, the costs for migrants and earthquake are the space budget from the economic policy for reasons of force majeure or, using the language of the Covenant for exceptional circumstances. It is for this reason that Italy insists, with Brussels to get him back. Moscovici noted, however, that there is still work to do to get closer to the positions, and remember that even taking into account all the flexibility possible, “there are rules that must be respected by all”.
