ROME - The president of the European Commission, Jean-Claude Juncker, said on Tuesday he was “slightly worried” about the state of the Italian economy and urged the government to do more to boost growth. After talks with Italian Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte, Juncker told reporters that was “great love” between Italy and the European Commission.
Rome and Brussels clashed last year over Italy’s budget plans for 2019 before finally agreeing on a compromise deal that allowed the government to borrow more than initially envisaged. Juncker said the accord was based on a 2019 growth projection of one percent, but added that this was now overly optimistic.
Bueller?
Of course he's worried about the Italian economy they won't have the £ to support them !!!!!
Italy (and France) incapable of reform; eurozone will collapse as a result unless Germany bails them both out (again)
The level of debt to GDP in Italy is more than 'slightly' worrying and should have been cause for concern for sometime now😱
Only slightly?
Judging the EU historically, it is the Italians who should be worried. Greece
Ascetic. There is more than one moral to be drawn from this story.
That’s a big understatement! And if we were prevented from leaving lock stock and barrel guess who will be made to pay for it

Blame yourself for restricting them oh ye overlord master. Austerity is not going to fix their debt issue
