“A way must be found for all of us to review the issue of the Greek debt,” former Italian president Giorgio Napolitano said to the Athens-Macedonian News Agency late on Monday responding to a question on the relief of the Greek public debt.
Napolitano was bestowed with the ‘Dimitris Tsatsos 2016 award’ of the center of the European and Constitutional Law- Institution of Themistocles and Dimitris Tsatsos. The awarding ceremony was held on Monday evening at the Greek embassy in Rome.
“If this burden remains, it will be very difficult for the countries that bear this burden to get out of the debt vortex of non-development and the effort to seek support for new investments. This will be very difficult if there is not a European programme for investments, a European plan.”
Asked on the possibility the austerity policy to be permanently abandoned in Europe, Napolitano said: “Fortunately it is a top issue of the EU report presented by European Commission president Jean Claude Juncker. We must rely on these committments in order to have immediate and effective implementation. It concerns public investments higher than those estimated until today.”
