“ You can be proud of what you have done , of the results you have achieved, of the projects you have started and that others will be able to complete”.
So Mario Draghi addressed his ministers, thanking them for the work done in what is most likely his last Council of Ministers .
“ National unity is, inevitably, an exceptional experience , which occurs only in moments of profound crisis. Maintaining it for many months, as you have done, requires maturity, a sense of the state and also a lot of patience. Citizens expected a lot from you and you served them best, ”said the outgoing Prime Minister.
Draghi recalled all the measures and emergencies of these 20 months: “You have faced a pandemic, an economic crisis, an energy crisis, the return of war in Europe . You organized the vaccination campaign, wrote and launched the NRP, approved a huge number of economic support measures, you made Italy a leading player in Europe and in the world ”.
Finally, a passage on the transition underway, which must be ordered: “In a few weeks, the new executive will sit on these benches, an expression of the result of the elections that have just been held. I renew my invitation to facilitate an orderly transition , which will allow those who will come to get to work immediately. We owe it to the institutions we were part of, but above all we owe it to the citizens. Governments pass, Italy remains ”.
