March 04, 2020 "We will ask the EU for all the budgetary flexibility that we will need, the EU will have to meet us". The premier Giuseppe Conte says it in a video on Facebook.



"The Italian economy needs shock therapy. For an extraordinary emergency, an extraordinary response is needed. I will ask the EU for all the budgetary flexibility needed to support families and businesses. Europe will have to come after us. We will learn an extraordinary plan of public and private works. We have to build the necessary infrastructure. For some works we will adopt the model of the Morandi bridge in Genoa ".

"The whole of Italy is called to do its part" says Prime Minister Conte. "The challenge of the coronavirus has no political color, it must bring together the whole nation". "Italy" - concludes Conte - "will make it". "We must continue to work together towards a common goal. We must not upset our life habits, we must assume responsible behavior," added Conte in the video on Fb. "We have to wash our hands often, we sneeze or cough in a handkerchief or elbow, we maintain a distance of one meter in social relationships".

"We will get out of this emergency together, we will be able to overcome this difficulty and assert ourselves in all our value," said the Prime Minister. "When this emergency is over - he said again - we will look back and be proud of how the country has bravely faced this emergency, determined to raise its head: women and men willing to give up something for a gesture of responsibility towards more fragile ".
