Meloni: “Spread down in 100 days of government. With Nordio, extensive justice reform”

“I hear some talk about Italy in a catastrophic situation. The context in which Italy finds itself today is very difficult, we know that. Perhaps the economic situation is the worst since the post-war period. It is not an easy situation to govern, but in this situation Italy is more solid than we want to believe”. So the premier Giorgia Meloniin an episode of his social column ‘Giorgia’s notes’, on the occasion of the 100 days of his government.

The premier invited to look at the data. “In recent years the spread has been considered the great yardstick for assessing the state of the Italian economy – he said -. In the last hundred days it has dropped from 236 to 175 basis points. The Stock Exchange has recorded a 20% increase. the Bank of Italy estimates that the Italian economy will recover sharply in the second half of 2023 and that that recovery will stabilize in 2024 and 2025. And that inflation will return to acceptable levels”. The premier said she was “optimistic. This nation will make it”.

Meloni touched on various dossiers, including that of justice. “I spoke at length with Minister Nordio in recent days – he said – who is committed to a very serious and broad reform of justice that can guarantee certain times and maximum guarantees for those on trial and under investigation, but also the maximum guarantees that when you are convicted you will pay your sentence”.

The Meloni government is not aiming for “spot measures”, said the premier. “Structural responses, those that are not commercials, require work and precision. I have seen governments that needed to communicate a different initiative every day, but often those initiatives were not solutions. I would like to work on the solutions and the balance of this work, which is a marathon, not the hundred meters, I want to pull it at the end of this path”.
