Matteo Renzi for now, but only for now, seems satisfied. ‘Cause for the “first time” in the conclusions of the EU summit there is the word “flexibility”. “And ‘one small step for Italy but a big step for Europe,” comments – paraphrasing American astronaut Neil Armstrong – suggesting that the battle has just begun in the EU. And if his ultimate goal, his ‘post high’, remains to get the spin-off of investments for the great works by the Stability Pact, for now returns to Rome cashing the albeit still too shy, signal arrived today from 28 with the green ‘political’ Juncker floor.
Ready to continue the game in the coming weeks and months to come when you will, as early as January, the heart of the debate on flexibility in the Covenant and you will begin to put on paper the details of the plan by 315 billion with which Europe aims to boost its economy and the job. Know – and do not forget to say tonight’s press conference – that front, once again, you will find the usual tough. He did not mention but the reference is to Angela Merkel.
“There ‘who did not even want to put that word’ favorable ” in the conclusions, said the premier, referring to the central point of the matter: no account for the purposes of the Covenant, the resources that States put in mutual fund investment. A request, the German, unchecked. And Renzi considers him a “good thing because now for” the first time it is said that the investments that have a sense of the future of Europe are placed in a separate pact. It ‘a small step forward for Italy and a great step forward for Europe “, stresses at the end of a Council in which the Merkel – is rumored – insisted, in line with its refrain of all time, so that the conclusions it was stated that flexibility is “built within the existing rules.”
The usual pun. That perhaps inspired Renzi who left the summit visibly cheerful (even for the advance of the closure Today the Rabbit) making surprise to hum “Words, words, words” Mina. The European summits are not her ‘flat’ preferred and does not hide it coming with a joke: The hashtag of the day? “A shot of life” says talking about the appointments that await him (“essential pre-summit PSE, then the EU summit and then, yet the final press conference of the Council …”). But today, in addition to that, albeit too timid for him flexibility, collects a ‘opening, at least credit from Juncker who said he had confidence in him and in his commitment to reform: “I have full confidence in him and I know he did not disappoint me,” he says pointing out that so far it has not been “certain inactive “. And while pointing out that what he wants Renzi on the front of national investment pact does not a llow it, leaving the door open for discussion when – reminds Juncker – in January we will talk about “flexibility in the covenant.” I do not ‘I guard Renzi “adds when asked if Italy is under examination. One idea that the prime minister takes to remember, thinking of home, that the real test for Italy will be elections in 2018,” with the rate of all normal countries “. E ‘in that door left ajar by Juncker that the strategy of Renzi wants to’ wedge ‘, trying to” widen the crack “which opened in Europe that no longer speaks only of stability but also for growth and investment. And in the coming months Renzi will have to play the game in vivo.
