Italy participates in boosting European economy - Monti

Italy participates in boosting European economy - Monti

Italy has made a contribution to the development of European economic defence mechanisms, ex-Prime Minister Mario Monti said in his interview with the La Repubblica newspaper.

He urged his successors to continue pursuing the common European policy even if it causes criticism. Monti said that Italy has survived through the most difficult period and has solved its problems without asking the European Central Bank for help. Italians made sacrifices that should not be ignored, Monti said.

The ex-Prime Minister warned that no immediate economic growth is to be expected straight after taking austerity measures.

Monti who was the head of the Italian ‘technical government’ for 13 months stepped down last Friday.

Could violent riots in Sweden be sign of grave unemployment problem?

The Stockholm fire brigade has tackled fires at least two schools as rioting in suburbs of the Swedish capital continued for a fifth night. Firefighters also dealt with fires in 15 cars, two containers and a fourth building, the brigade said, while police made eight arrests. But the unrest appeared to be less intense than on other nights. The nightly riots began in a deprived, largely immigrant suburb where police shot a man dead last week.

Extremism doesn’t have a homeland

A terror attack is the most grim occurrence which pulls people together. Be it a group of survivors meeting to share their feelings and reminisce about loved ones lost, a joint operation by international services working on its prevention, or even extremists themselves who have become inspired by yet another attack seen on the news, these attacks create a strong connection of a special kind. The Boston marathon bombing has reminded society of the ongoing war against terrorism which started after 9/11. Each terror attack affects countless lives and each person has a story, proving that no one is immune to terrorism.

England Debates Same-Sex Marriage Bill

David Cameron's woes are continuing this week with plans to legalize same-sex marriage to be debated in Parliament today and tomorrow. The issue is hugely divisive, not least within the Tory Party which seems to have been in open rebellion in the last couple of weeks over everything from the E.U. to the next election. And on Sunday 34 current and former local party chairmen delivered a letter to Downing Street opposing the policy as "flawed, un-Conservative and costing us dearly in votes and membership". Gay marriage is causing a heated row across the political and public spheres.

Is there freedom of the press in your country?

Yes
No
There is no such thing as “free press” anymore, all media is controlled by the governments or other powers
The media should be subject to strict censorship as violence, abuse and sexual misconduct spread through different channels and corrupt people’s minds
