Premier Matteo Renzi on Monday
said Italy would make its contribution to aid for Turkey for the
refugee crisis, ending resistance that had spurred friction with
Brussels. "At this point we will give our contribution to Turkey
to save human beings," Renzi said in Nigeria. "And we will make
every effort to save human lives in the Mediterranean: we have
saved, and we will continue to do so, thousands of lives while
Europe turned the other way. Before the Stability (and Growth)
Pact there is a pact of humanity". Earlier the European
Commission clarified that, as stated in December, the aid for
Turkey would be outside the parameters of the Stability and
Growth Pact.
