It takes a lot of effort to win back credibility after having lost it so heavily.

No one, no social group, can today avoid the commitment to contribute to the clean up of public finances in order to prevent the financial collapse of Italy. The sacrifices will not be in vain, especially if the economy begins to grow again

It takes a lot of effort to win back credibility after having lost it so heavily.

Now is the time to show maximum responsibility. It is not the time to pay off old scores nor for sterile partisan recriminations. It is time to re-establish a climate of calmness and mutual respect.

It's not just we Italians who are caught up in the difficulty.

The principal of unity and indivisibility of the republic are the essential reference points.

We owe it to our children to give them a dignified and hopeful future.
