the budgetary tug of war between italy and the european commission has been going on for months conti is now suggesting a budget of two point zero four percent of g.d.p. down from two point four just a bit higher than yoko would like. it's not for me to foresee what the final reaction of the commission will be shortly our proposal was judged important and significant and the next hours we will continue to work i trust on a positive solution. with italy's prime minister bring an early christmas present back from brussels while shoppers are spending freely on holiday presents the amount of money their government can spend next year is still up in the air and the coalition partners in rome are trying to satisfy e.u. regulators by showing goodwill towards brussels and a willingness to compromise on their original budget proposal many italians now want to see their government make a deal. it's all very messy i think that something may finally be moving and maybe little by little in a strange way we will finally become europeans we've tried to form europe for so long even if often we've not

s fourth largest economy its debt though is the blocks highest right behind greece conti wants to bring down italy's debt through growth rather than austerity reducing the gap between debt and gross domestic product a tall order considering that italian debt has been growing since the financial crisis in two thousand and eight from one hundred and two percent of g.d.p. to one hundred thirty two percent in twenty seventeen romas planning massive tax cuts to stimulate a long term growth in the short term this will likely lead to shortfalls in revenue and even more debt the direction of italy's new administration a coalition of populists from both sides of the political spectrum is anyone's guess this uncertainty can be felt at present in the southern italian city of current or. engines of course choice has been working at the steel mill for twenty years he takes us to the cemetery to explain the problem caused by the mill he shows us how everything at the cemetery has turned red the steel mill is the problem the red iron oxide particles and unhealthy dust which descends on the inhabitants

so with conti now appointed to 2 of world of caretaker prime minister what will happen next that's a question i asked our correspondent in rome max sander. things have changed so fast the last couple days and we don't know we don't even know what's how going to happen in the next 48 hours or so if snap elections take place it's likely to be in fall and whether or not people here are going to hold it against material salvini that he actually brought he personally created this crisis without there having been a crisis before actually it's not clear yet if people will hold that against him or if he will still come out as a as powerful and as popular as he expected to in the 1st place well that's a question max we such as sufi conti blasting salving in a speech accusing him of putting himself before the country so how do italians feel about all of us. that's difficult to say i'm worth a peek of holiday season at the moment a lot of the tellings are at the beach and trying to. do more or nicer things than follow a government crisis but the those that do probably very read what will what w

he exudes call but just said that conti has been on a wild ride 3 weeks ago he lost his job as prime minister when italy's governing coalition fell apart now he's been tasked with putting together a new government. the country is in a very delicate phase we must put the political uncertainty triggered by the government crisis behind us as soon as possible we're facing critical economic problems. but a sense of when it could be. the new coalition partners the anti-establishment 5 star movement and the center left democratic party make strange bedfellows many italians don't see the marriage lasting long. time so ok let's listen to get to that i think this agreement is a bad thing you like them because they have haiti to each other for a long time and now they are forging an alliance so i really don't think it's a clever thing. i know some of them being that i'm not very sure because i don't think they will last long. because the differences are obvious and i think there are huge differences in the political programs of the 2 parties that the clear loser so far is far right league party

moment the difficulty of the task ahead the difficulty of the negotiations they're facing melinda conti said last week that the very survival off they go as it is at stake if if member states don't take strong and coordinated action does machall share that view. she does in fact share that view when he repeated that message here by the way just now saying that if money doesn't get disbursed quickly to the countries that are hardest hit we will see further divergence within the eurozone further fragmentation of the eurozone pressure on those countries and on the euro itself and possibly the destruction of the euro zone that was the word he used to destruction and the chancellor certainly seems to be on his way flix she has said in the past that the very stake of the their very survival of the e.u. isn't stake and she too repeated that this is a crucial moment. all right that state employees chief political correspondent linda crane reporting from schloss news of a thank you melinda and also some other stories making news around the world also post president as she is being questioned by

logic but it says is in stark contrast to what the european commission wants now he is expected mr conti's expected to be needing with the european commission president joe flowed on saturday evening and he said conti said for his part that he is willing to evaluate the upcoming step in terms of trying to find some kind of compromise but it's very clear that this populist government wants to put in place its spending measures and tax cuts it believes that the only way to deal with the death what sort of penalties are we talking about from the e.u. side i mean could they really hurt italy. well at the moment this very first step that we saw happen today with this measure really is the first step in terms of disciplinary action now what happens next is that the deputy finance business ministers within the e.u. will have to see whether they agree with these recommendations put forward by the commission they have the next two weeks to do that and then eventually in january the finance ministers themselves what to see how they will go forward in terms of these recommendations so sometime in jan

but conti also condemned soviet he's abrupt call for a snap election. it is not the syria minister to decide the timing of a political crisis. in which other institutional actors are involved. the interior minister in his responsibilities as a senator and leader of the league. to explain to his country to justify to the voters who believed in the prospects of change. the very reasons that bring him to prematurely interrupt the action of the governor of new york. i do my job with my heart with on our with pride if i can do it freely and until the end if i realize that someone is trying to stop me then the decision must go back to the italian people with no ifs and no buts it will be you who will decide you and no one else will vote for the very latest let's bring in journalist philip will on joining us from rome good day philip what happens now and are we likely to see new elections in italy. here's i think at this point you're lections are almost inevitable. yeah prices will be under the control of the president of the republic and he can certainly look

seeing so much going to thank you for joining us italy's president has given prime minister to set the conti a mandate to form a new government conscious that the government would need to start right away on a budget for next year and would work to modernize italy to make it more competitive countries mandate follows a series of political twists and turns after the country's far right deputy prime minister pulled his party out of the governing coalition 2 former rivals. the antiestablishment 5 star movement and the center left democratic party this week agreed to join forces to avoid a new election and journalist standing by in rome with the latest good to see you so it looks like a green light for this new coalition but what hurdles does it still have to overcome. yes there are quite a few and as you mentioned these once bitter rivals are now green to work together so some of the sticking points the 1st off is the role of my own and he's the head of the 5 star when and the deputy prime minister in the previous administration the current plan of attack now what will his new role be in this n

so conti taking a swipe at the on his way out this is what the interior minister had to say in response. i would do everything i did again everything. like that and therefore i have the great strength of being a free man and. when they will do so i'm not afraid of the judgment of the italian people. if you want to complete the reform process that we started i'm here. so with condi now appointed it of role of caretaker prime minister what will happen next that's a question i asked our correspondent in rome max sander. things have changed so fast the last couple days and we don't know we don't even know what's helped going to happen in the next 48 hours or so if snap elections take place it's likely to be in fall and whether or not people here are going to hold it against me that he actually brought he personally created this crisis without there having been a crisis before actually it's not clear yet if people hold that against him or if he will still come out as as powerful and as popular as he expected to in the 1st place well that's a question max with such a tough economy blasting sa

italy's president has approved jew sepic content as that country's next prime minister conti was put forward for the post by italy's two main populist parties the pirate league and the anti establishment five star movement the appointment of conti a lawyer and political novice is designed to end weeks of political deadlock in his acceptance speech he promised to protect italians at home and abroad but he said he was aware that he needed to honor european and international commitments. and let's bring in d.w. correspondent bent for more on this is covering the developments there in italy for us and joins us from italy's capital rome but questions were raised about just how to contest credentials president hesitated before indorsing him is it clear that contact will indeed be confirmed by parliament. yes there's no doubt that mr khan develop have the votes of confidence next week because the majority of the two top this pot is. and the league of the right wing extremist is sufficient to do that and to then he has to come up with a list of his ministers this might be more difficult espe

conti has been touting italy's reform plans here in music back they consist of an energy transition a green new deal the dismantling of italy's notorious bureaucracy and improvements to its justice system. we need to move fast react quickly history has shown us that the best reactions aren't worth much if they come too slowly it's this thing that. neither leader is willing to predict whether the upcoming talks in brussels will make significant progress deciding this could be the beginning of a long process. well he has won the election again polish president. is headed for a 2nd 5 year term following sunday's election with nearly all the votes counted the conservative incumbent has won just over 51 percent over his rival the liberal mayor of course all. on sunday well before all the votes were tallied with just a razor thin lead president duda seemed confident he'd win now after a campaign fueled by anti european anti german sentiment he's striking a more conciliatory tone isn't going to call it for us and by if anyone was offended by anything i did or said in the last 5 years not jus

going to follow it now he however has long threatened to pull his support he has complained about conti's plan on how he's expected to use the billions of euros to move the e.u. recovery fund to help countries deal with the up close and demi situation as the economies have suffered under cope with 19 east criticize them and then what the government did was come back and really adjust their plan incorporating some of his suggestions but yet he went back again and said that perhaps the government needs to tap into the european stability mechanism in order to boost the health services but that was something that the 5 star movement in government is against because they don't want to be beholden to any you austerity rules so in the end renzi clearly did not appreciate conti's ruling by decree as his city he said and so he's escalated to this and it couldn't be it was possible time as you mentioned the country is dealing with a resurgent virus yes got a vaccination program under way and on top of that is dealing with the recession yeah i mean it just hit the $80000.00 mark you have covered rel

little bit to the italian drama but in the end he has no choice but to say yes ok so just i think conti has a lot of support but but he has the kind of tech or tragic background that contradicts the campaigning message of the populist parties that have chosen to lead the country why have they chosen just epic antti and i know no law professor from florence with no political experience is the perfect compromise between the two extremes the leak and the five star movement he has the talks now to push through this wishlist if you will this coalition treaty which contains everything that was in the contain platforms if you can do that that is not clear but he will be. a kind of a puppet on a string for bows. and he was the party leaders might be in this coming eight ok ban to help us out on this i could you usually after winning elections political leaders want to become the prime minister why don't luigi dimaio and mattel salvini from the two respect of a populist parties want that job. but in this case you have two alpha males who had to find a compromise in order to form a coalition and
