Giuseppe Conte
"A confrontation that promises very well" has started. This was said by Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte during the press point at Villa Pamphili at the end of the first day of work for the States General. "We do not want to waste even one euro for the revitalization of the country, we will not be satisfied with restoring normalcy, we do not want to restore the previous state but improve the country".

I trust in the opposition
"I trust that there will be the possibility of having a confrontation with the opposition, we are always open and will offer an additional space for discussion at the end of this consultation and it will be even more profitable because we will have all the suggestions from the social forces and productive ". "I appeal to the opposition forces, we still have to bring home the result in Europe on the Recovery fund, there are parties to the right that challenge these solutions, some forces related to the governments of Visegrad" so "I ask to give us a hand in the national interest, please give us a hand with those political forces you are attached to and I will recognize it publicly ".



The bulk of the resources, next year
"The prospect of the resources of the Recovery fund is not immediate, but there is the possibility of having an advance of some sums in the autumn, but the bulk will come next year". For Conte, "the recovery fund has yet to be defined: I don't think the 19 council will be conclusive". "The Recovery Fund - says the premier - is still to be defined and we will tackle the theme already from the next meeting on June 19. The prospect of these financial resources is not immediate, even if there is the possibility of having a sort of bridge that allows us to have a part already in the autumn, but the bulk, however, will arrive next year ". "We - concluded the premier - are also on the frontier for the revitalization plan. Some projects will start immediately, but a strategic framework is needed. An operational discussion on some specific projects is already scheduled for next week".

Fight
against tax evasion "We will fight against tax evasion. There is already cashless in the budget law. There is a delay caused only by the covid." "The fight against tax evasion is an absolute priority. We must recover those billions that are taken away from the whole community. Voluntary disclosure is a particular project that we will discuss together with other elements. It is clear that this type of disclosure poses problems about the possible crimes behind it. " "We will reform the current unfair tax system and we will also use EU funds for this." 

Dl security
"I heard about the security decree in the newspapers, I was at the CDM, we remembered this topic now that we are out of the most acute phase of the emergency. We were already working and we will work on this, it is in the programmatic points of the government, no fibrillation. " For Conte "on the modification of the security decrees there is no fibrillation in the majority. At the Council of Ministers we reminded each other that it is in the government program and as we have come out of the most acute phase of the emergency we are now working on it. But it is in the government programmatic points, no fibrillation. "

Vaccine agreement
"We have to be careful, but the Oxford vaccine project is the most promising. There will also be repercussions for an Italian company." "Italy, which was the first in Europe to get to know this virus closely, has today been recognized as one of the first countries to give an adequate response. And even with this news today we show that we want to be at the forefront of procurement of a vaccine, in research and therapies that are currently more promising ".

Michel's recognition for Italy
"Internationally they recognize that Italy has dealt well with the covid crisis. Michel said that Italy has also saved lives in Europe".

We want to invest in beauty
"We chose Villa Pamphilj because it is a symbol of Italy's beauty. We want to invest in beauty".

Regeni case
"Any opinion of the Regeni family deserves respect. The efforts of the Italian government to ascertain the truth also deserve respect." 

Roberto Gualtieri
There has been an "in-depth comparison with the representatives and the leaders of the European institutions, with some important economists and a strong degree of consensus has emerged very well on the ambition and the guidelines of this plan for the revitalization of the country we are developing, oriented to the major axes of innovation, sustainability of training and social and territorial cohesion ".

An opportunity for rebirth
"Together with the representatives of the institutions and social partners at work for the Italy of tomorrow, which we want more modern, sustainable, inclusive. We plan the future to give Italy a real opportunity for rebirth. With responsibility and trust again. "

Deviation and objectives
"We do not start from numbers but from objectives". This was underlined by the Minister of Economy, Roberto Gualtieri, during the press point which closed the first day of the General States, answering a question on the hypothesis of a new budget variance. "We have always said that we will guarantee support to all those who need it, that we will give layoffs to all workers who need it, that if the Municipalities have lower tax revenues than those that we have already supported, we will give the necessary resources. So it is quite clear that we will do all the necessary interventions to guarantee the objectives we have set ourselves. We start from this, not from the numbers. "The numbers - continued the minister - are the consequence of the things we will do, of the evaluation of the available resources, what needs to be done and, as we have always done since the beginning (and it has been recognized by everyone), we set ourselves objectives and we will evaluate the situation and we will take the necessary actions at the necessary time to guarantee the achievement of those objectives "

Reinforced majority . 
" Some of the underlying reasons from which this government majority was born emerge confirmed and strengthened by this great crisis gl obale ".

Involve everyone

" The crisis triggered by the impact of the coronavirus "is teaching us, and not only in Italy, some very clear things: that together in Europe we are stronger, that past policies must be overcome, and Europe is choosing to respond not with austerity as in the past crisis, but with development, growth and social cohesion policies ".

Investments
"The pivot of this plan that we are developing will be investments". "We want to bring the level of public investment and private investment above the levels that preceded the great crisis." The goal is also "to become one of the countries that invest the most in school, research, training, innovation and we want to complete and make our network of tangible and intangible infrastructures excellent". Gualtieri also underlined the government's will to make Italy become "leader in digital payments, we want to find resources by countering tax evasion at the same time fully drawing on this great plan for the revitalization of Europe that is putting itself in field as Italy had asked for and which is based on the issuance of European common securities to finance common expenses ".

European consensus on the Italian level
There has been an "in-depth comparison with the representatives and the leaders of the European institutions, with some important economists and a strong degree of consensus has emerged very well on the ambition and the guidelines of this plan for the revitalization of the country that we are developing, oriented towards the major axes of innovation, sustainability of training and social and territorial cohesion ".
