8:02 pm
a sign of growing concern over the crisis unfolding there of the european union's budget commissioner has issued a value veiled warning good setting or has advised italians that it would be dangerous to vote for populous in elections likely to take place later this year the leader of one of those populist parties the league has called on him to resign here's what a thing or said in an exclusive interview with g w news. this is a good thing to do you have prophetic powers in two thousand and thirteen you said that italy is ungovernable isn't that exactly what we're experiencing right now. we trust the italian president who has been pointing out to potential government of coalition partners the rights and duties that go together with membership in the european union and the eurozone. even when you also trust the new technocratic government and are relying on possible elections to produce
8:03 pm
a result with which italy can be governed in a pro european way. poor little pish what you're talking about given the strength of the populace don't you think these elections will produce a vote against the euro and perhaps against italy's e.u. membership would another net contributor to the e.u. budget leave. my dislike is to manage i don't my concern and expectation is that the coming weeks will show developments and italy's markets bonds and economy will become so far reaching that it might become a signal to voters after all to not vote for a populist on the right and left. in funding since. as we often do are holding for a market shock that would persuade italians not to vote for the populace after all that's a vague calculation should it be even now development on bond markets the market value of banks. and italy's economy in general have darkened noticeably and
8:04 pm
negatively i get we think that that has to do with a possible government formation i can only hope that this will play a role in the election campaign and send a signal not to hand populist on the right and left any responsibility in government for playing a globally does it how do you believe that italy mirrors a trend in europe of populist becoming stronger and that both in italy and many other e.u. states attitudes to the e.u. are becoming more negative. and the. opinion polls have been showing at. toward europe rising and growing stronger. that has to do with airto one and trump and bricks and and with unstable neighboring regions like you want to people acknowledge that there's more clout to be had as part of the european team ireland portugal and others have put the worst behind them are
8:05 pm
moving forward and are grateful that europe has helped them in recent years even if it. doesn't it annoy you it for example when prime ministers like viktor orbán bad mouth the e.u. at home and then go cap in hand to brussels. this week and we must take note of that but it's not acceptable as i must say generally governments in all member states tend to nationalize successes and europeanized their problems that's unfair. that's why we as the commission as commissioners has deputies in parliament must advocate the advantages of a strong europe even more aggressively and courageously possibly doing a mystery to go thank you thank you while the commissioners remarks that didn't go down well with the leader of one of italy's populist parties the leak who called on a dinner to resign other politicians have also objected to his remarks earlier i
8:06 pm
asked eve on the scaf what i thought of the tally and secretary of state for international trade and investment and a member of the democratic party what he made of hers remarks. well to be honest with you this is either rather inappropriate or massively mays i don't think commissioner urgent care had a good idea to speak about the time internal affairs i think this is something that the talons will deal with there are people here claiming that external powers quote unquote are conditioning italian politics which is not true but no one has ever even give a clue and you want suspecting that this is true so my recommendation is to of course follow what's happening in egypt would be appreciate our friends attention but please stay out of me tell you about these at this moment because this could be easily misinterpreted and of course this is not what we want all right let's say
8:07 pm
gauge what this all means that your europe correspondent barbara basal is in the italian capital rome and max hoffman are brussels her chief is in strasburg at the parliament a very good evening guys want to give you the first word barbro we just heard mr. not happy with the a commissioner away in describing it as not very helpful anybody at all welcome his remarks in rome. no absolutely not at least not officially there may be some people in finance here some economists and some people in industry who think that what he said is exactly right because they fear what might happen if a populist government here really let's rip if they really do everything they promised in their last election campaign and nothing is going to change in the next election campaign that we're going to see from tomorrow supposedly so no officially not and most parties say we don't want any interference and that's what you get if
8:08 pm
you talk to people they say we need to change in italian politics we want to get rid of the old political class in the country which is corrupt which has governed the country for so long and so badly and we will somehow bring about this change whatever you rob says so it rather reinforces is sort of the feeling of we have to stand up against europe and in a way i must say it is probably at the moment counterproductive ok possibly counterproductive max is it usual for commissioners to comment give their take on domestic issues happening in member states. there's an unwritten law here with you commission not to interfere with decisions that are nationally made for example the french elections last year although there was a clear preference in the european institutions for him under with michael who were instantly became president they didn't say that too loudly even if it was against
8:09 pm
money in the pan the far right populist of the fullness and in france because they wanted to keep out of it they didn't want to influence the election neither one way nor the other way or take the bricks and referendum same thing i clearly remember the head of the e.u. commission to refusing to take a stand on that and by the way after what i said today head of the e.u. commission did react along those lines in a twitter message she said italy is a founding member of the e.u. that will and will continue on its european path italy deserves respect. no different interpretation there barbara how worried are the italians that the current political standoff could spark potentially another financial crisis. the funny thing is that this message particularly has not reached italy at all what happens here is if we think back to what gets said there was one very true sentence
8:10 pm
in his last remarks and he said that people tend to europe and europe price their their problems and that is exactly what many italians do they send home point the finger against europe and say it's their fault somehow nobody can explain how but it's their fault that we are at the point that we're at and we need more help from europe and we want more say in europe and we want to negotiate with europe about our future all that is very unclear but it's very strong emotionally and so there is no clear understanding about the real and present danger if people are in we're not seeing a bank run yet people have not realized yet that if the european central bank can't lend to each of the anymore that they might lose this savings if there is a bank crash into lee for instance all this is not really sort of come to people's minds because they don't believe it this seems to happen in another world not in italy they continue was their lives and they do want
8:11 pm
a new government in all likelihood it's going to be a populist one again max the optics are in great here you've got a new commissioner happens to be german expressing a critical view of what's happening in italian domestic politics i mean that's never going to go down well but is the leadership taken by surprise by by the backlash. well you heard the quote by doing so actually his expression was rather careful he didn't really tap into it all that hard into as a man of clear words and he's been much clearer on other topics but he did mention it as we just heard and you could see how edgy how on edge the talents were how they reacted to this how forcefully so i think that european europeans here and where we are today at the seat of the european parliament worst surprised by the by you know by the amount of the backlash and the force of the backlash and quite honestly you know i was there when our correspondent had that interview and when it
8:12 pm
was over we were like ok it was a good interview interesting but we had we would have expected anything of this magnitude all right but to barbara i'm going to give you the last word it seems likely that elections will take place in the coming months if the outcome is the same as what we saw in right now what will happen. what now happens if the polls are right then even the later even is at twenty five percent at the moment i mean they seem to be gaining because material salvini is really exploiting those cutting out remarks for all their worst he is really making the most of it and trying to sort of really work was that and challenged hellions that they need to stand up against germany and the power of germany so that's one side according to the latest polls the two parties the two populist parties will have a even more stronger vote next time around than the elections are supposedly now
8:13 pm
coming much earlier at the end of july already because all big parties in parliament here behind us have said they don't want this caretaker government by. so that he will probably not even come that will be decided tomorrow will have an interim and then new elections already at the end of july so very likely will have the same position and something else might feel any already said the next time he's going to bring up the finance minister who sort of brought down the last attempt to form a coalition here so same thing at the end of july no changes on that note barbara bay so max hoffman thank you both for your continued coverage. well it inger's or remarks have been getting a lot of attention on social media and joining me now is karl asman from social media good to have you with me here carl as we heard huge fallout in italy yeah
8:14 pm
this is a big big topic of discussion right now in italy we're seeing italian politicians weighing in on social media the majority of them are quite critical of these comments and we can start by showing you the actually the official account of the five star movement actually tweeting here in english and they write it cannot be a german commissioner to tell the italians how to vote neither should financial speculators voting or took his mask off and he has to resign. himself as you hinted at earlier the leader of the league he also called for his resignation actually during a facebook live video a couple of hours ago he had plenty more to say in that video have a clip here take a look for yourself. can you imagine this kind of disdain for democracy for freedom for the free will look sixty million italians and on top of that this coming from a man who wasn't even the elected and represents a power like germany and the party of uncle america governs the e.u.
8:15 pm
. and they are telling italians who not to vote for. strong words there you know it's not just italy's populist parties with criticism this really goes across the political spectrum in italy we can actually show you here carlo callender he's an italian democratic party member and he's the outgoing economic development minister he says the should either apologize or resign it's hard enough to protect europe from anarchist sovereign is to defending it against inadequate e.u. commissioners is too much all right that interview hit a nerve haven't heard about from european lawmakers yeah absolutely and this is really sparking discussion in brussels as well and this goes all the way to the top to donald tusk and he's of course the president of the european council perhaps maybe trying to extinguish the fire here a bit he says my appeal to all the e.u. institutions please respect the voters were there to serve them not to lecture them
8:16 pm
meanwhile outside of brussels a prominent british euro skeptic this is nigel farage he's kind of piling on here he says disgusting bullying comments by the german commissioner the italian rebellion can only grow you see there though at the bottom mr froggatt linking to a tweet that's no longer there it was banned it wrongly translated the commissioner as saying the markets would teach the italians not to vote for populist that which is now been deleted the corrected version has been issued as we heard in the interview the commissioner actually said that the markets would send a signal. not to vote for populist but certainly a controversial interview making some waves on social media and perfect and that words matter comment was meant thank you so very much and. i'd like to hand you over to helena now because the telling and turmoil is creating market turmoil that's right they were talking about may have him in milan and all the european exchanges trade is a worry that a snap election in italy will be a referendum all the european union and there's also serious concern that the
8:17 pm
country's debt burden is spiraling out of control and analysts say europe may well be on the brink of another euro crisis. fear of a new financial crisis is creeping back into european markets italy faces in and tearing government in new elections this has shaken up investors worldwide. italy's lead in the next temporarily dropped by almost four percent on tuesday at the end of trading it stood at minus two point seven percent losses in madrid were almost as high the german dax index also lost ground one point five percent. especially bank stocks were on a downhill ride. but it's about more than stock markets wanted to leave central bank italy's future with india you can only be secure as a reliable partner with your book to go beyond the read a simple brazilian we have to keep in mind the great risk of losing irreplaceable
8:18 pm
trust in a short period of time. loughlin trust in the strength of our country that beside the patty in the judgments is great. both on an economic and social level a good round sum down economical issue. but it's not only italy that needs the euro zone the currency union stability relies on the financial stability of its member to the south. when all financial correspondent qualified it was and is in frankfurt we can speak to him now call that let's try and stay cool about this and nevertheless also a very big question is a new euro crisis lurking just around the corner. well there are people on the markets who say that this feels a lot like the year two thousand and twelve when we had the last euro crisis and
8:19 pm
when the concerns were so big about contagion about the possibility that problems in one euro country might spill over to other countries and also have a negative effect on their ability to borrow and their credit worthiness but i have to say if we look at what happened on the markets for government bonds today the investors are concerned but only about italy for the moment the talian ten year government bond yields rose above three percent for the first time in four years today while for example the ten year government bonds from spain and portugal they came down today so for the moment investors only have the jitters about italy they have confidence that the mechanisms the stability mechanisms the safeguards which were put in place in the eurozone after the big financial quite euro crisis of
8:20 pm
twenty twelve that they will help to prevent the contagion risk and another euro crisis which doesn't mean that everything would be fine fine if in italy government came into power that would you know pass legislation introducing reckless spending maybe even consider leaving the euro the euro of course this has the potential to be really bad right kind of had a boost in first following the story from the frankfurt stock exchange thank you. well this next year is two years into the making and now us and teach our school for use of approved by is takeover of the american seeded giant monsanto it wants another major hurdle in the sixty two and a half billion dollar deal with the german fama has agreed to sell its assets including seed and crop chemical activities to its rival be a s.s. over eight and a halt billion dollars to call those anti trust concerns
