It was the unconditional pro-Europeanism of Italy’s past leaders that gave rise to the current nationalist backlash.
If you are really pro-euro, my advice is to stop treating the euro as an article of faith but fight for its sustainability.
Wolfgang Münchau FT 3 June 2018
I wanted to keep Greece in the eurozone sustainably and was clashing with Germany’s leaders in favor of the debt restructuring that would make this possible.
By crushing our Europeanist government in the summer of 2015, Germany sowed the seeds of today’s bitter harvest:
a majority in Italy’s parliament that dreams of exiting the euro.
