Paris and Rome are allied against austerity
Letta and Hollande calling for greater determination to fight the "nightmare" of unemployment and resolve the political future of Europe

Italy and France have joined forces Wednesday at the Elysee with one goal: to put the European Union to stimulate the economy and think about the citizens to avoid the worst: the triumph of fear, misery and populism. The core idea is simple, yet revolutionary in the EU blocked by the rigor and creditor attitude of Germany. And was expressed well by the new head of the Italian Government, Enrico Letta: "We can not have a Europe in which one country or two go well and others sink".
The rebellion forged by the leaders of the second and third largest economies of the euro, the Socialist François Hollande and progressive Letta against fiscal consolidation and austerity without growth, seems to augur a new balance of power in a Union increasingly remote from their founding values.
Letta: "We can not have a Union in which one is right and the others sink"
The two presidents launched a harsh indictment of blocking policies for recovery and growth. It is urgent, cried out, leave the "nightmare unbearable unemployment figures" fight "the biggest youth unemployment in decades," European stimulate demand and change the political course of a Europe that "demoralizes citizens instead of giving hope, "said Letta, and that" suffers the ravages of the world instead of catalizarlo "according Hollande.
"This is a challenge not only economic but political especially" clinched the French president. "The important thing is not whether Italy and France out of this. The question is whether Europe will survive and come out of this crisis together. "
Letta and Hollande demanded concrete measures for the June European Council, "without wasting more time" banking union advance on schedule and reduce interest rates, credits unlock 60,000 million European Investment Bank approved last June to stimulate European demand, accelerate aid to unemployed youth for granting later this year, and deficit reduction adapt to the recession.
"We must also better coordinate economic policies. It may be that some countries have deficits and recession and others have surpluses, "said Hollande. "At stake is political stability not only of Europe but of all countries." "The first priority is work," he said in perfect French Letta. "Europe should not be for only citizens instead of rigor, but the growth, opportunities and wellbeing. We must be able to protect the unemployed from Europe. " And in a clear reference to Berlin, added: "We must all work in this direction with the same determination that we have on fiscal consolidation."
Italian Prime Minister came to dinner with Angela Merkel in Berlin last night, and was so friendly ("friendship without tension," he said tapping on the arm of Hollande) as autonomous. He noted that growth is not the alternative to rigor, but its complement, and said his government, which he defined as "a new political laboratory" respect its commitments on the deficit, but added that "maintain its margin for maneuver grow, create jobs and stimulate consumption. "
The increase in social unrest, visible both in the last election in polls Italian and French, flew over the scene. Hollande said that if we do not act now, "the European project will survive and win those who play with the fear and the worst instincts." And Letta said the answer is not local but European. "We can not climb the mountain alone. No internal political questions. The problem is European demand and depends on European politics. If we do not fix together, it will be impossible. But if we find good solutions for Europe, it will be good also for Germany, "he said. "If Italy is growing, it is good for Germany."
It was his first official meeting, but it seemed that Hollande and Letta were known lifetime. The tune was palpable since the brand new Italian head of government got out in the courtyard of the Elysee. Intertwined both hands, smiling, and after an hour of meeting, appeared before the press calling for his name.
Hollande is clear that the solution will not be German or "I am very pleased to know that we can work together with Italy to obtain, with Germany, commitments necessary to advance".
On the draft of the Socialist Party who attacked the egotism of Merkel, Hollande said that the only text that matters is suppressed references to the chancellor, and the important thing is that France and Germany are "founding countries of the EU and have the responsibility to agree. That we have done and we will do ".
The message from Paris and Rome sounded like a punch in the door of Berlin. Or Europe changed or broken into pieces. Now it remains to see if the leaders are able to pass from the Muses to the theater. Hollande promised that his country will continue to monitor public spending and improving competitiveness - "is all we can do at home to promote growth" - and added that in May the EU summit expected progress on energy policy and the fight tax fraud. But he made clear that the moment of truth will be the June Council. At that time must be sent, he said, "a clear signal that Europe is able to get out of this situation."
