EVP-Chef Weber zu Italien: „Werbe fĂŒr Gelassenheit“
Das wichtigste, was Italien brĂ€uchte, wĂ€re StabilitĂ€t, meinte Weber. Die Mehrheiten im Parlament könnten dafĂŒr sorgen, aber letztlich liege es an den handelnden Personen. Sie mĂŒssen auf jeden Fall die von der Draghi-Regierung angestoĂenen Reformen umsetzen – auch im Interesse Deutschland. „Italien ist als G7-Staat sehr wichtig fĂŒr Deutschland“. Deshalb mĂŒsse man das GesprĂ€ch suchen, statt zu urteilen.

„The M5S will never sit down with Renzi and/or Boschi“, he said.
Italy Faces Its Moment of Truth on the Euro
Most important, the League leader will have to decide where he really stands on fundamental questions that he has dodged so far â from Italyâs economic policy to its place in the euro zone and the European Union. Before now he could blame his weak coalition partner, the Five Star leader Luigi Di Maio, or his technocratic finance minister Giovanni Tria for any difficulties. The easy ride is over.
