EU, Renzi's tear on migrants and austerity

Prime Minister Matteo Renzi did not hide his dissatisfaction with the results of the EU summit in Brastislava and did not participate in the final conference of Merkel and Hollande – Two reasons for disappointment: European economic policy which does not acknowledge that the austerity has failed and the management of immigration

EU, Renzi's tear on migrants and austerity

Tear of the Italian premier Matteo Renzi at the European Union summit in Bratislava in disagreement with Angela Merkel and with Francois Hollande to the point of not participating in the final press conference with the German chancellor and with the French president.

“The Bratislava summit – Renzi said in no uncertain terms – is far from the challenges that the EU has to face after Brexit”.

There are two reasons for greatest dissatisfaction: economic policy and the management of migrants.

On the first point, Renzi, who has spared no barbs at Germany, has supported an economic policy of greater support for growth and has stigmatized the fact that there is no desire to definitively turn the page on an "austerity that hasn't worked". Then he added: "For the stability law we will find solutions and we will continue to lower taxes"

On immigration policy, opposed above all by Orban's Hungary and the other Eastern countries, Renzi was even caustic: "Defining the final document on migrants a step forward requires imagination"
