Tremonti and Berlusconi seem to have become two parallel lines destined never to meet again. Tomorrow, after the traditional Council of Ministers, the priemier will first appear in the Chamber and then in the Senate to report on the speculative attack that is crushing Italian finance. But perhaps his former friend Giulio won't be there to listen to him, who will leave for Luxembourg in the morning.
Curious that it was not a note from the Italian Treasury that announced it, but from the Luxembourg Executive. It is not clear who asked for the meeting, but in just under 24 hours Jean Claude Junker, who in addition to being the head of government in his country is also president of the Eurogroup, will meet our superminister. In all likelihood, the next steps that Italy should take to free itself from the trap of speculation will be at the center of the sicussione.
But the international contacts opened up by Tremonti in the last few hours don't end there. In addition to Junker, it seems that between last night and today the owner of Via XX Settembre also had a series of exchanges of views with his counterparts in Germany and France, Wolfgang Schaeuble and Francois Baroin.
Perhaps it was just homework before the high school exam: in the afternoon, in fact, Tremonti is expected at the Treasury for a meeting of the Financial Stability Committee. Around the table will be representatives of Bank of Italy, Isvap and Consob.
