March 20, 2021 The day after the launch of the Sostegni decree, unanimously accepted as an important step for the containment of the pandemic and for vital help to that part of the Italian economy that has suffered the most from the closures, he is the new secretary of the Democratic Party, Enrico Letta, to inflame the discussion.
He did so with a tweet referring to the Council of Ministers yesterday that launched the Sostegni decree, in which he was able to highlight the firm line held by Prime Minister Draghi in the comparison on the cancellation of old files.
"Very good. The Sostegni decree intervenes on health, school, tourism, culture and helps workers and businesses. Good Draghi. Good ministers. Bad, very bad for a party secretary to hold the CDM hostage for an afternoon (without any results) ). Bad start Salvini ".
