Two years of Renzi: “We need agreement on adoptions. Italian sound, but still much to do” – The Republic

Rome – It is time to take stock for Matteo Renzi, to two years of driving the government from office. So much progress has been made, but much remains to be done. And on Facebook it caters Italians with a survey: “What is the next priority”?

The prime minister, meeting the foreign press, summarizes the work done: “Italy is no longer the problem of Europe. L ‘ Italy there is strong and solid, but there are still many things to do: I have the same hunger on the first day. ” The President of the Council stressed once again the goals achieved by the executive: “Never have been done so many reforms in such a short time, but we are still hungry because there are still too many people out of work,” he added, without forgetting, however, that “the future is back home in this country, the past has always been there, you know, but the real challenge is to bring the future to have residence in Italy, and only politics can do it.”

And it is believed to continue until 2018: “the legislature will end in February 2018, so we’re right in the middle. in two years, many of the initiatives that the government had chosen to realize they are going forward: the election law, school, public administration. Italy had a minus of GDP and employment, we now have the most. it is not yet closed the game on constitutional reform, but it is the first time in the West that a branch of Parliament vote for its overcoming, “reiterated even the prime minister.

Here’s how it went
reforms – job – Taxes – public Accounts Spending review – Broadband

civil unions. Inevitable a question on civil unions, the discussion resumes Wednesday in the Senate: “We hope to close within a few days,” said the prime minister. “Gradually the others parade, the Agreement” civil unions “we do it with those around us,” he said, referring to step back made by the Movement 5 stars. “Today the problem is that we do not go ahead anywhere, that the debate is blocked, it is the way of a government amendment or the certainty parliamentary agreement is that this law will face.” The Democratic Party, continued has 112 votes, “Occor get to 161 – he explained -. It should find other 49 or 50. Therefore need the agreement of someone else and not just one party. There was evidence of Understanding with M5s that twenty minutes before the vote Marcucci amendment is pulled back. they say change your mind is a sign of intelligence, then they are of the geniuses, because they have constantly changed his mind. ” One thing is certain: we can no longer wait. “There is only one thing that give certainty: that this law is done really without the court’s strategy strikes again … You can not have children of Series A and Series B, we think the time has come to put end to this long postponement on the law on civil unions and in fact there was a filibuster. We believe that you

EU must close quickly. “. “I believe that the referendum will not be a walk for anyone. Cameron has said frankly,” he replied the Prime Minister to a question about Brexit. The referendum on the United Kingdom by the European Union “will be on a certain idea of ​​Europe – he added – will be a very difficult campaign.” “If the UK comes from Europe it is the main problem for the UK, for its businesses and its citizens. Staying inside the EU is especially useful for them.” Renzi has sottolinetao that “we are at a crossroads, or Europe, or changing risks defeating the largest political construction operation ever made.” It reiterated its vision of the European Union, stating that “Italy is working for that, not to get some crumbs of compensation but for the European ideal.”

Migrants . “With Germany, with the German public, there were problems from the past to the fact that there were large hands in the control of arrivals. The concern was that Italy did not do the checks for all: this was partially true in the past, I have no problem admitting that the checks were not always clean. Now, however, the situation is reversed and we are 100% of controls, with fingerprints and detections. also because she joined the need even humanitarian that of security, “said Renzi, who claimed that on immigration policy” if there is a country that has not changed my mind, that’s Italy. ” About the idea to close the border Brenner, Renzi believes that it is “absolutely wrong in substance as well as in the symbolic value: it also affects the heart the very idea of ​​European integration. I hope that between now and the next European Council, but will not be easy, there may be a very serious work of all to solve the Austrian question. “

Nothing solidarity one-sided . Again, Renzi stressed Italy’s commitment: “We put 20 billion every year, and we take it in 12 European funds, we are active contributors. At this point: either you do as Thatcher ‘I want my money back’ or like us, you are willing to put more money if there is a community ideal. the solidarity in Europe must not be one-way and my opinion very clear is that when you will have to discuss the programming of funds, we can not ignore someone imagines the one-way solidarity “. And he continued: “I have said very clearly that the EU table when discussing the scheduling of the funds we can not ignore that somebody is not supportive immigration. At that point it is legitimate that the larger countries can not be solidarity on funds”. It noted that “if we had used the principle of selfishness, we would not have Europe to 28″ since “jumped by governments in the name of enlargement of the EU.”

Austerity . Our country has done their homework, the premier said: “It is clear that we have a lower GDP than other countries, because we are making cuts to care for a horse, and public expenditure is GDP.” But, he said, “I think even if it falls more slowly than expected the fiscal compact, is a good thing. The important thing is for it to drop. Italy has made spending 25 billion. Cottarelli had wondered 20. The deficit it was at 3.7 with Monti and today is at 2.5. But I refuse to accept austerity as an end in itself because it kills the patient, though I’m inside the European rules – has pointed Renzi -. I have never violated European rules and asked the Commission to stay inside a flexible path, but I’m in European policies “. It stated: “The deficit is the lowest in the last 10 years. If I had made 3%, I would have 10 billion to lower taxes.”

To the international tables protagonists. the international landscape has changed, he stressed the Prime Minister, and also the role of our country: “on Syria, the Italian position is the same from the international community. In the past Italy has lost some time, but now is back with a foreign policy as a leading player. Now we are not only to international tables, but we want to be there as a protagonist with our partners because for years it has been led to believe that Italy was so distressed that they can not play his game. ” On Syria, added the premier, “we are engaged with great determination because the agreements are reached and you can get to the hard transition.”

In March the United States … ” we will be in March at the summit sponsored by Obama on nuclear power held in Washington.Tema on which Italy has cards to spend in both political and industrial terms for disposal, “officially he announced the premier. The summit will be held on 30 and 31 March, but “before that date we will perhaps in Nevada, Illinois and Massachusetts for a mission,” he said. As for the upcoming US election, Renzi cattail Clinton: “As president of the Council say that we will work with anyone who will be the US president, obviously. From Secretary of the Democratic Party in respect of democracy Use I support Hillary Clinton.”

… in April in Tehran … After receiving the President Rohani in Rome, Matteo Renzi announced that it was planning a trip to Iran: “I will be in April in Tehran. at Geneva table on Iran – said Renzi – Italy was not there because my predecessors chose not to be there, which sounds bizarre when you consider the historical relations between Italy and Iran. “

… and on June 18 in St. Petersburg . But there’s more: “On 18 June I will be in St. Petersburg on Putin’s invitation that I have already met in the Kremlin in March 2015,” he told the prime minister, responding to a question on the economic forum to be held in June in Russia. Responding to a question on sanctions to Russia, Renzi said: “I hope we can close the sanzionatotia phase as soon as possible, obviously with the implementation of the agreement in Minsk. It is absurd – he added – does not involve all the forces and the countries of good will against the is, which is unprecedented severity. i still think is necessary a major international convergence and Russia’s role is very important, but it must respect the principles of independence and sovereignty of Ukraine. “

Left EU is in trouble . “The container of European Socialists needs to rethink itself,” said Renzi, pointing out that “the European left is very distressed, it is useless to strange turns. In PES immigration there are positions closer to Orban that Merkel trivially so. ” And again: “I feel the left in the sense of Clinton and Obama, not some left maximalist who did not even win the elections of the condominium. Who changes is left, who does not want to change it right.” Finally, speaking of Greece, he added: “The Tsipras effort to change Greece is serious and substantial and Italy will do everything in its power to help out. Europe without Greece would lose a tremendous heritage and ideal. my relationship with Alexis Tsipras are very good I am on the side of Tsipras. I hope he agrees to join the PES. “

Salerno-Reggio Calabria: inauguration December 22 . There was, then, a further announcement. Defying the skepticism of the foreign press, the prime minister said: “Hang on, I know you will not believe it but just as it seemed impossible to pass variant, December 22 inaugurate the Salerno-Reggio Calabria. And to all those who have made a ‘oohhhh’ amazement do we will do part of the way and I’ll drive. “



the next reform . The Prime Minister also relies on a network summary, posting on Facebook the traditional slide and asking citizens to indicate the next priority: “Good morning. Here you will find twenty-four slides on the first twenty-four months in office. We are in the middle of journey, there are still two years. What is the priority for you? What do you think is the most urgent reform now? “. So the prime minister, Matteo Renzi, challenges users who follow him on facebook on the day that his government is two years old.
