“With Angela Merkel we talked at length about Greece: the referendum is a mistake.” So the Prime Minister Matteo Renzi press conference in Berlin at the end of the summit with German Chancellor. “I have not called me the referendum, I would not have called and put his mouth on a choice of the greek people. Democracy is a beautiful word, which comes from the greek and draws all its duties and their own needs. ” For the President of the Council, however, the point is to understand what happens next, because “the real question is which model to imagine in the next fifteen years to our Continent. Today we talk about a country but I would like you to speak also of the other twenty-seven. ” Yet the Italian premier said that “with Angela does not have the same views on everything, is democracy beauty ….. But we represent the two most voted parties of Europe, along with the Democratic Party and the CDU have obtained 22 million votes, and we are guidance of two great countries that have created together with other Europe. And they know that we need Europe’s political ideals, not only of parameters and figures. Faced with this the discussions will be aimed at making Europe stronger. “

Fundamental let common sense prevail, more concerned about terrorism
In front of the insistence of reporters who incalzavano the two leaders on the crisis in Athens Renzi it held to highlight the more incumbent emergencies. “I understand the focus on the Greek situation, but I’m a little more concerned about terrorism than for Greece.” Made it clear respect for the will of the people greek (“it is essential to impose one’s reasons of common sense”), the head of government has summarized the breaking points of the negotiations. “We tried to find a point of agreement, we will see what will happen in the future but it is unthinkable to the baby taken in Italy to pay pensions in Greece and you can not make the fight against tax evasion and not to tax the Greek shipowners.”

Still a lot to do but Italy has returned to run
“On Pa taxes and there is still much to do but Italy is back on track and wants to run faster than everyone, “he stressed the Prime Minister in home key. Trying to do better, in the hopes, the same German battleship. In general terms Renzi is still not satisfied, “but the reforms are divided: the key date will be June 2016, we aim to do in that time the referendum on institutional reforms.” Fundamental change of pace in a change of mind, this is the appeal of the prime minister. “Italy must smettersi to cry on. We must be able, let me say here in Berlin, a wall that knocked him down, to break down the walls of fear. We have a responsibility to bring the policy to guide Europe. ” Italy and Germany are “two large European countries and not give in to fear.”

EU can not permit that migrants do it yourself
> Finally a passage on immigration. “Angela Merkel has been crucial in the European summit to find a point of agreement. Not a problem for which Italy asks for help, Italy can do alone but Europe can not afford to leave it to Italy alone, “said the prime minister.
