The Italian Situation and European Project
The Italian situation has changed since the last podcast episode. The immediate crisis has been postponed, but the warning signs of the Italian economy have been flashing red. The balance within the coalition is also concerning, as the league seems to be gaining more influence over the compromise and policy decisions. This could have negative implications for the European project and cooperation on issues like the refugee crisis.
