Grit your teeth and carry on, but only until the elections: this Mario Monti's message as part of his road show in Asia. According to the prime minister, in 2013 the Italians will find the parties again in Montecitorio: he declared this before leaving for China from Tokyo, saying that "after the elections, governments with a political composition will return“. But the Professor also wanted to underline that abroad "the political change that has been underway for some time" in Italy has been appreciated. And from abroad they are awaiting the outcome of the reflections on the labor reform, on which, according to the premier, the reliability of our country and its appeal for the markets depend.
The government goes ahead "with determination" in the "country's structural reform policies" dedicating "all possible attention, in the current financial situation, to meeting the greatest social suffering", continued Mario Monti. The recessive tendencies for Italy, he explained, come "both from the international framework and from the fact that for a long time the structural problems of our economy have not been attacked enough". "This is what the government is doing intensely, with the support of the political forces and with the understanding of the citizens, even in a difficult moment", reiterated the prime minister. But the recessionary wave will not change the choices of economic policy, in fact, according to Monti, the recession can be "only a little intensified by policies of consolidation of public finances and structural reforms".
