The EU has run out of patience on the Pnrr. And Fitto sends the first papers on RePower to Brussels

The Commission’s recommendations renew the invitation to overcome delays in the implementation of the Recovery. The Melonian minister tries to patch it up and prepares the challenge in Parliament. Where the Democratic Party tries to flush him out: “We want numbers and figures, not ambiguity”, says the dem Boccia

The sense of waiting, and of its gravity, is all in those four words: “As soon as possible”. And in the mouth of Paolo Gentiloni, one usually immune to the temptation of emphasis, they sound very heavy. And after all, the unknowns about the Italian Pnrr, and its modifications, are by now such a captivating topic in Brussels that the Commissioner for Economic Affairs sees it raised even by French journalists. “We, as a Commission, are ready to discuss constructively and flexibly. But it is essential that we start doing it as soon as possible ”. And perhaps, who knows, it is no coincidence that just yesterday, a few hours after this warning from Gentiloni, Raffaele Fitto finally decided to send the first documents on RePowerEu to Brussels. “A first part”, explained by the entourage of the Melonian minister, because waiting for all government colleagues to complete the required procedures risked waiting for Godot. And we still risk it.
