Nationalist opposition League
leader Matteo Salvini on Friday said "absolutely no" to a
possible intervention by the European Stability Mechanism (ESM)
to bolster European economies amid the coronavirus crisis.
Premier Giuseppe Conte has floated the idea of using the ESM
as a sort of 'coronavirus bond' to inject much-needed liquidity
into virus-stalled economies.
"I've read in these hours that Premier Conte is asking for
the intervention of the ESM. Absolutely not, it would push Italy
into the 'blood and tears' tunnel," former interior minister
Salvini said.
"For this too, we demand the reopening of he House and
Senate, as parliamentarians we want to, and must, give our
contribution".
