Mateo Renzi

Aposto que Mateo Renzi vai durar muito pouco tempo, quando o discurso desliza para a demagogia já ser sabe o que acontece. O jornal Economist já lhe tirou o retrato. "The biggest problem, however, was the lack of detail in Mr Renzi’s speech. He has promised a reform a month until June: of employment law, bureaucracy and taxation. But he put no flesh on his proposal for a new employment contract, or the extension of unemployment benefits to all. Instead he talked about a €10 billion ($13.7 billion) cut in the direct-tax wedge (income tax plus social-security contributions), a school-building programme costing “several billion” as well as clearing the state’s debts to private firms, estimated at up to €100 billion. But there was no real explanation as to how Mr Renzi intended to pay. Troubled by Mr Renzi’s earlier promises, the EU’s economic-affairs commissioner, Olli Rehn, has already fired a warning shot. He will not be comforted by the prime minister’s comment to the chamber that he wanted a Europe “where Italy doesn’t go to take instructions to know what to do”. Vai correr mal, mais uma vez, aos italianos que pagam as favas.
