"The theme of growth, development, economic recovery is a real issue that it would be wrong to remove. But it is also true that Italy has recovered on the right tracks, which are those of the development and control of public spending, of the relationship with Europe not subordinate but just and this is what made the markets finally recognize the reopening of a serious policy ". The secretary of the Democratic Party, Nicola Zingaretti, said this in New York, stressing that "now the focus should be on development and growth and on this we must insist, insist and insist".

"What we must unite is the compatibility" of the budget and the fight against social injustice and I believe that the government has, with the maneuver that it has put in place, opened a new road because VAT has been avoided, they cut themselves taxes on lower incomes, 11 billion are invested in infrastructures and a season opens up, a season in which we move from slogans and nonsense to economic policies that need time but are serious economic policies that look to the struggle for social justice ", says Zingaretti.

"Seventy days ago the spread was at 240 and now it has collapsed and this saves money. What needs to be judged - adds Zingaretti - is whether the route is correct or wrong, and I believe that it is correct, that is to say in concert with European partners the levels of public spending, in 24 hours of agreement we have recovered 14 billion euros of flexibility ".
