In the Italian Parliament in general, and "even" in the UDC and the PDL, the premier Mario Monti he warns of "an impatience rate" that "boils" towards "Germany and the German government". For this reason, the Professor invites us not to say anymore that "certain sacrifices" are imposed "because Europe asks us for it".
“In the Italian parliament, in Rome, which I frequent a lot in this period, there are two groups, one from the center and one from the centre-right, which belong to the Ppe family – explained Monti during his speech to the Bureau of the European People's Party in Florence -. The Cdu also belongs to the Ppe family. From the beginning of my Government to today I have seen in the Italian Parliament, in general, but even in those two groups, which had Germany as their highest point of reference, a boil and boil of intolerance towards Germany and towards the German Government".
Monti, on the contrary, recalled how “my ministers and I are committed: we never say that we have to make certain sacrifices because Europe asks us to. This is the worst thing a politician can say, this cynically and knowingly destroys the trust of citizens of different countries in the European process”.
The euro can paradoxically become “a great factor of disintegration, of dis-integration among the European peoples. This, I allow myself to say, would be even more serious than the financial and material consequences of the crisis,” Monti continued.
"But we have to be careful: if we don't raise our guard level from a psychological and political point of view this will happen", because, according to the Professor, "the recent manifestation of the eurozone crisis has revealed a phenomenon which is what worries me more and I don't know if the European political world and if the European heads of state and government are sufficiently aware of it".
