Highlights: "We will bring to Europe facts, not gossip, to explain why the PNR must be dismantled and profoundly changed even in the objectives," says Matteo Salvini. The Democratic Party invites the government to report to Parliament and 'give certainty' on the possibility of disposing of European funds. The safety of the territory is an absolute priority, all available resources must be used, say the presidents of the parliamentary groups of the Democratic Party Chiara Braga and Francesco Boccia.

"Any revision" of the national recovery and resilience plans "should not lower their overall ambition." This was stated by European Commission spokeswoman Veerle Nuyts, responding to a question about Italy during the daily press briefing. "We are aware that the Italian government wants to review the PNRR", but "we have not yet received a formal request for modification", explained the spokeswoman, confirming Brussels' willingness to "discuss" the revision of "targets to individual objectives" provided for in the plan "which are no longer achievable due to objective circumstances".

"The work on our assessment" for the green light to the third installment of the Italian PNR "is still ongoing" and there are "constructive exchanges with the Italian authorities", added the spokeswoman of the European Commission. There are "no major updates", Nuyts stressed, indicating that the dialogue with Rome is continuing and, "where necessary", the Italian authorities provide Brussels with "further information". Communication on the final outcome of the evaluation will be released "at the conclusion of the process," he added.

"We will bring to Europe facts, not gossip, to explain why the PNR must be dismantled and profoundly changed even in the objectives. Otherwise we hurt ourselves a lot." So in an interview with the Press the minister with delegation to the Pnrr Raffaele Fitto. But then he specifies that he has never uttered some of the sentences, 'starting from the title, which refers to the uselessness of funds for infrastructure'.

But the Democratic Party invites the government to report to Parliament and 'give certainty' on the possibility of disposing of European funds, starting with those for the territory starting from Emilia-Romagna. "The government must stop messing up the PNRR. After the words of Minister Fitto, a parliamentary passage is needed that gives certainty: the Democratic Party proposes that an act of orientation be voted in the Chamber and the Senate that clarifies the choices that the government intends to make. There is a region submerged by water and a country stunned by destruction and suffering. There is no time to lose. The safety of the territory is an absolute priority, all available resources must be used". So in a note the presidents of the parliamentary groups of the Democratic Party Chiara Braga and Francesco Boccia.

'No renunciation of any project. Spend well and spend all the funds', says Matteo Salvini. "The goal as far as I and the government are concerned is to spend well and spend all the funds of the PNRR, especially those for infrastructure because we have an infrastructure gap with other European countries that we have to fill so neither the return of funds nor the non-spending of funds is absolutely on the agenda; at most you can remodulate some items to others'. This was assured by the Minister of Infrastructure at the Adriatic Sea Summer. Therefore, 'no renunciation of any project', he specified, 'unless there are obvious time lags' for reasons of material realization of the project.
