After finding a serious solution for ITA con an agreement with Lufthansa, European Commission pemitting, and which sometimes raises problems that we hardly understand, now the time has come to give a perspective to what was one of the international telecommunications champions. The direction taken by the Government is the one that the centre-right has always hoped for and supported: to assume strategic control of the telecommunications network and safeguard jobs. Today’s is a first step, which will obviously be followed by market logic, but we can finally say that in Italy there is a government that takes action to defend the national interest and the workers on such an important dossier.
