European Affairs Minister Paolo
Savona said Tuesday he did not need to reassure Europe about his
anti-euro views. "It's the press that must reassure Europe, not
me, you created the problem..." he told the foreign press club.
Savona said he would only speak about his new post -
which he got after being barred from the economy ministry by
President Sergio Mattarella for his anti-euro views - when "the
government line is decided".
Savona, 82, said at the presentation of his autobiography
Like A Nightmare And Like A dream that "I will speak about my
activity as a minister when the orientation of the government on
the problems to be tackled is decided".
Savona, a former industry minister in the Ciampi government
in 1992-3, said "I am preparing to face complex and delicate
problems".
Savona's initial rejection led to the failure of the first
government bid by the anti-establishment 5-Star Movement and the
anti-migrant Euroskeptic League.
It was revived when he was moved to his current position.
