18 September 2020On the resources made available to Italy by the ESM for the pandemic emergency "there is a difference of opinion, we will deepen. But let's not forget that we had 120 billion of additional loans" at subsidized rates by the recovery fund, "a very large endowment ".

This was stated by the Minister of Economy Roberto Gualtieri regarding the negotiation with the M5s on the activation of the Sanitary Mes.

If to those 120 billion "we add another small piece, it is better, but I would not like to have the feeling that the ESM is more important".

The issue therefore continues to divide and create tensions in the government majority.

"I think that the perplexities that arose on the part of the 5 Stars were related to a form of financing that no longer exists, today it is very convenient, on an issue that Italy needs, such as healthcare. Conte said that the parliamentary halls to find a solution "says the secretary of the Democratic Party, Nicola Zingaretti, on Morning 5. But the pentastellato leader Di Maio replies from a distance on the need not to feed the debate on the subject.

In short, not even talking about it.

Il Mes?

"We got these 209 billion, partly non-repayable, we work to spend those well. We won that negotiation and now we say the EU is not enough and we are going to get others, also because the money of the Mes is not given away. , I am always a debt ". This was stated by Foreign Minister Luigi Di Maio.

"The goal of spending the 209 billion euros requires the utmost effort. If we feed the debate on the ESM we are doing nothing but creating tension in the majority," he adds.

"The Mes is an adequate tool and should not be used, and I repeat this position. And it is thanks to this position that Conte was able to go to the EU to achieve much, much more, as almost 100 billion non-repayable ". This is what M5S political leader Vito Crimi told Skytg24.

"Yesterday Gentiloni declared that no EU state requested the ESM. We must be the first to raise their hand to lose the world" are we in so badly? ", He adds." Someone must convince us of the goodness of the ESM and the non-existence of conditionality " , continues Crimi.

"The Mes is a loan to be repaid under specific conditions decided by an institution based in Luxembourg which could, for example, increase the retirement age or tax home and checking accounts.

I don't trust, I trust Italians.

What is the solution?

One that went through the government last week: issuing treasury bonds ". League leader Matteo Salvini said this morning to Lady Radio's microphones." Last week the government issued ten billion government bonds. treasure destined for Italian savers, with a request that had been eighty-four billion - added Salvini -.

If one offers treasury bills on favorable terms, think about it.

I trust Italians, I trust a secret organization based in Luxembourg a little less ". Pi added:" To revive the economy after the Coronavirus pandemic ", the national government needs a grant because some economic sectors that have not sold ".
