The availability of which, however, is not immediate ".

The dramatic state and the very uncertain prospects of our economy require strong interventions and to support the demand for businesses and families and boost public investment.

Not doing so would be an incomprehensible choice and would entail a serious responsibility towards the country, its citizens, its businesses ".
