European Labour
Commissioner Jyrki Katainen said Tuesday he hopes the March 4
Italian general election produces a stable pro-EU government.
"I'd rather not interfere in the Italian election campaign,"
he said.
"It is a very delicate situation.
"I hope Italy is led by a stable pro-European government, and
that this type of ideas are supported by the majority of
Italians".
Katainen stressed "it's up to the Italians to decide what
direction to take".
He was speaking after European Economic Affairs Commissioner
Pierre Moscovici was accused of meddling in the campaign by
making statements which irked the anti-establishment 5-Star
Movement and the anti-migrant, anti-euro League.
