The real difference is that Italy still offers brilliant education, is a wealthy country (despite that its distribution has become very uneven), has history and culture galore behind it, it’s full of art. So, yes, things are rough at the moment, but that does not mean that Italy will sink.

Will minister Cardona now keep his word or does he have some other delaying tactic up his sleeve?

”Mr Cardona admitted his intervention but said that this was necessary as there were appointees who had a conflict of interest. He said that following the court case he would reveal who were these people.”

I think somebody need to advise them otherwise:
