Salvini has just put a direct Facebook online where he explains and clarifies for the umpteenth time that "there was no euro exit plan". The leader of the League then increased the dose by denouncing the debate still standing, that is "a surreal debate on non-existent issues that continues today" thanks also to "hired" journalists. Salvini then states: “The government's agenda was not going to mess in Europe, get out of the euro tomorrow morning, no. It was to re-discuss the way of being in the European Union for the benefit of the Italians, to re-discuss some constraints, rules, regulations: I am thinking of Bolkestein, directive on banks that puts banks at risk (I would not like there to be a smell of troika and Greece on Italian banks ), re-discuss the European budget. If a Lega-M5s government is born that represents the majority of Italians, we will have the right and duty to go soberly and politely to re-discuss these rules that are bringing poverty, precariousness and insecurity throughout Europe. These rules are destroying the unity of the European Union. Either the rules change or we go on towards disaster. This is the reasoning behind the government. But Mattarella said no because we are not reassuring, and brings out this Mr. Cottarelli, retired at 18 thousand euros a month, who is looking for pseudo ministers for a few weeks before going to the vote ”.
A few hours ago, however, the words of the European Budget Commissioner, Gunther Oettinger thundered: 'the markets will teach Italians to vote in the right way'- The statements of the EU Commissioner risk further fueling anti-Europeanism, as most of the Italian political leaders commented.
However, the day on the markets is nervous and marks the spread at 300 points even on the 2-year maturity. Gross rates shot up to 2,38%. According to the MTS platform, the spread on two-year bonds reached 307 points in the afternoon, with gross BTP yields soaring to 2,38 percent, compared to 0,94 percent at the end of yesterday.
