This is a year in which money is not asked, it is given

The Sostegni Dl represents a response to poverty, businesses and workers, the prime minister said, with the aim of giving more money to everyone as soon as possible.

This is a year where you don’t ask for money, you give moneythe prime minister clearly said

The Astrazeneca case and “German interests”

About the vaccination campaign and the Astrazeneca case

In answering a question, the premier replied that it was not a mistake (put yourself in my place) and with some irony he excluded the fact that there were German interests behind this stop.
Announced that, get the AstraZeneca vaccine (I have not made the reservation, but there is no doubt that they gave me the Astrazeneca vaccine) and that the delay in the vaccination campaign was not disastrous: there was a drop in vaccines but only for one day and then they were almost compensated.
When talking about the vaccination campaign, the premier reiterated that this is the base from which the economy restarts.

At school, the Premier recognizes the priority: I would say that as far as I’m concerned, school will be the first activity to reopen, when contagion allows it. The first activity to restart.

More coordination between regions

Regions and vaccines, more coordination is needed
The prime minister then stressed that the differences in the regions in the vaccination campaign are something negative to overcome with state intervention.

You have not completely closed the door per MONTH but he specified that at the moment the level of interest rates is such that taking the Month is not a priority. But since the MEDE refers to health interventions, the government will only evaluate it if it is worth it when we have a health plan shared by parliament and public opinion.

Sputnik in Italy? We will be pragmatic

On the use of the Sputnik vaccine in Italy Draghi reiterated that a pragmatic attitude is necessary and expressed a position similar to that reaffirmed today by Angela Merkel: if the EU progresses well with the approval, otherwise it will proceed in another way.

In general, the prime minister advocated pragmatism in times of emergency, while reiterating the desire to move forward within the European coordination that remains the first way forward for vaccines and more. If EU coordination fails, we must be willing to go it alone, the prime minister reiterated. And he cited, for example, the decisions taken regarding the breach of the agreements.
