«As minister of economy and finance I was interested in the ESM being approved for economic and financial reasons but based on how the debate has developed in recent days, jury of honor and things of this type, it seemed clear to me that there was no air for approval. For reasons that are not just economic."
Economy Minister Giancarlo Giorgetti said this when questioned by reporters outside the Senate regarding the rejection of the ratification of the treaty by the Chamber , with the votes against of Fdi and also of his party, the League.
Statements that immediately sparked a reaction from the opposition, who urged the minister to resign. Giorgetti's reply is ready: "The opposition's advice is always useful but allow me to decide then."
“Everyone knew that there were problems with the ESM – added the minister – but there will be no rift with the EU”.
