A merger between the French Orange and the Italian Telecom Italia? According to François Hollande “we must not keep these investments”. The French president said it at the summit in Venice with Prime Minister Matteo Renzi to honor the memory of the young Valeria Solesin, who fell barbarously in the latest terrorist attacks in Paris and for whom scholarships have been established in memory.
Holland he added that "in defense there could be concentrations between Italian and French companies, as well as in telecommunications if we want to have weight" because "there is no future without a strong industry".
