(by Andrea Pinto) Paolo Gentiloni at the Festa del Foglio in Florence he highlighted the line to be followed by the new government on the PNRR: "no to strategic changes, yes to motivated adjustments (those referring to inflation ed), no to unexplained or generalized delays ".
Gentiloni thanked the Government of Mario Draghi for the results achieved, not least the price cap on the gas. The European Commissioner for the Economy he then warned the new government"Changing the priorities of the NRP would be a mistake and is not allowed by European legislation".
Here is the first impassable stake that Gentiloni immediately placed on the idea of the Italian executive to change the aims of the economic plan.
Note the timing of the representative of the Democratic Party within the EU Commission, on the day of the oath of the Meloni government. Swings launched to say: I'll be there to raise the barricades and highlight the delays or gaps in Italy in reference to the PNRR. Be calm!
"An adjustment work, Gentiloni specified, it has also been working with Italy for months". The reference is to the increase in raw materials and energy which impact on the costs of infrastructure works.
"The invitation that I can make to the government, but the government is perfectly aware of it, is that on these challenges we must go to the table, head down, because otherwise there is the risk of delays, and we will not be kind to the delays because it is not in the common interest".
A recommendation for Economy Minister Giorgetti, be quick…. !!! Otherwise Gentiloni and company will cut off the long-awaited PNRR funds - about 250 billion euros.
Specifically, to unravel the skeins of Brussels there will also be the new minister for European affairs, Raffaele Fitto who, interviewed by Affariitaliani.it, said he was "aware of the difficulty and delicacy of the delegations entrusted to him, certain to immediately get to work in the exclusive interest of the country. Our approach, Fitto specified, is and will be proactive. We will show respect and we want to be respected".
