paolo: . big part of the problem during an epidemic. i would say even the biggest part of the problem. mark: is nice i want to ask you and all of you about panic and fear. when going to come to that later. it is something that each of your writing about . sonia, you have said and i think you said this in regards to not specifically the covid-19 pandemic but generally around pandemics and epidemics. the story that we've known from the beginning is been one of the past population. suddenly attacked by a foreign being. i want to ask the narrative around this. even going back to it you shared earlier about this military war and so forth. can you a bit on how that plays into just where we are now in terms of our response and understanding of this moment. sonia: yes, i thank you so a conceptual framework to understand contagion at least in germ theory. these are sort of external innovators that come in and attack us from outside of us. and you see that in our rhetoric their narratives the way we name the pathogens for example. make almost som

paolo: it is complex also for italians.ve that we will find a new majority on tuesday in the senate. the new majority made up by what we call responsible mp's, mp's which are from other parties to give mr. conte a majority. some senators are ready to vote for mr. conte. francine: but does it weaken his hand to decide the recovery fund money that the e.u. gives italy? does that make it a bit more messy? paolo: well, yes, it doesn't simplify the situation. the whole subject we are discussing with the business community is how the government will deal with the 209 billion euros which are part of what we call next-generation fund, and for which we with the present government has yet prepared what we need to present in order to have this rally. so i hope that for mr. conte's government, it will be much more active on this front. it has been taking care of the situation but not much of the future. francine: paolo scaroni, what is the biggest concern right now? there are number of rumors flying around, saying that it would be -- t

paolo: i don't think so.ve expectations not only for the stimulus package but for many other reasons. as far as europe is concerned, we have to remember we are not a federal state. we are a union, and the national authorities reacted and are still reacting within norma's firepower -- with enormous firepower, spent to face the primaries. to this we add for the first time the european union issuing for a common purpose. this is very important because it will allow our economies to come out of the -- more resilient. francine: if ear base case now -- commissioner, is this something we could see in the first or second quarter? paolo: i think we have to fight to avoid it. we have a very different situation, i would say, manufacturing is performing rather well and has been performing rather well even in the worst periods last year, services and especially services with contact person to person are still in difficulty. we will have to await the forecast in 20 days from now, including they will have a clearer picture

paolo: of course the money will come to each member state.e discussion with the european parliament, we brought up from 10% to 14%. this will be for each member state. it is not a problem of the quality of the government. as far as the italian situation is concerned, it is difficult for us to commence internal politics to avoid to do this for me as former prime minister peered in any case, -- minister. in any case, for the reasons you are mentioning, italy will be crucial for the success of the european next-generation plan, and we need it to be stable. guy: the european commission's paolo gentiloni speaking earlier today. let's get a take on this. 123, 120, a lot of people expecting a double-dip recession. political tensions starting to grow. will there be more downside here? >> it is definitely possible. we are stronger euro, weaker dollar has been a consensus trade, the markets got itself to short of dollars into lung of euros. in my perfect world, we hold at 120-ish. the thing that would be most worrying would be growing concerns that new

to lead the way on this and hopefully the tide will turn in the rest of europe as well as a result paolo do you expect a showdown between process and warsaw do you think the e.u. should stay out of it. this is. is why i don't do the school losing the last. poll. because they have just lost less than most. people saw. that was. what i would get. and the issue was important we're going to tackle the fact that because it will succeed and the principle it's basically saying. to the state that we should keep the results and we should. and that there was only one need for that well and one of the. european union so i think it should not be to. play because there are so many issues. between the. whole special into office and migration that keep people. from the. graphics and i suspect that this is going to be ok and this case you. know we can. we can with the graphics show should we wait to. see. what do you think about the e.u. should get involved. i mean i feel the e.u. the european court of human rights i you know i clearly am in a very different position to these gentlemen because i underst
