Italian PM: EU is at risk if no deal on recovery plan
By EUobserver
Italian premier Giuseppe Conte said Thursday that the EU's failure to agree on a recovery plan for after the pandemic risks the existence of the bloc. "It's a big challenge to the existence of Europe," Conte said. "If Europe fails to come up with a monetary and financial policy adequate for the biggest challenge since World War Two, not only Italians but European citizens will be deeply disappointed," he added.
