Quick Glance: Europe's Economy Falling Behind: Enrico Letta Urges Action
- Former Italian Prime Minister Enrico Letta suggests using European savings for the green and digital transition, pooling 10% of state aid, and initiating a new recovery plan to help the European economy catch up with the US.
- Letta presented his report on the internal market to the EU-27 in Brussels, highlighting that only a minority of companies and citizens in Europe fully benefit from the internal market, leading to the EU lagging behind the US and China.
- European companies underutilize economies of scale in sectors like energy, telecoms, and financial markets within the internal market. The market fragmentation hinders growth and competitiveness against global counterparts.
- Letta advocates for creating a fifth freedom for research, innovation, and skills within the internal market and updating competition rules in strategic sectors to promote European champions and ensure consumer protection.

reuters.com/world/europe/italys-meloni-allies-keep-control-abruzzo-region-2024-03-11/
Quick Glance: Meloni and Allies Maintain Control of Abruzzo Region
- Giorgia Meloni's party won around 24% of the vote in Abruzzo. Election results revealed that Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni and her right-wing allies have retained control of the central region of Abruzzo, bouncing back from a shock defeat in Sardinia two weeks ago.
- The outcome will strengthen Meloni ahead of the upcoming European elections in June, solidifying the position of her party, Brothers of Italy, as the predominant force in Italian politics. With almost all the ballots from yesterday's regional election counted, the right-wing incumbent governor Marco Marsilio secured over 53% of the vote, while the candidate supported by all major opposition parties received approximately 46.5%.
- The result dealt a blow to the center-left bloc, which set aside its internal rivalries to campaign together, hoping to replicate its recent success in Sardinia where Meloni's candidate was ousted from power. Meloni's party won around 24% of the vote in the mountainous Abruzzo, well ahead of the second largest group, the center-left Democratic Party (PD), which received 20.4%.
- It was a mixed night for the prime minister's allies. While the center-right Forza Italia party outperformed expectations, winning over 13% of the vote, the League, led by Matteo Salvini, only garnered 7.6%, highlighting its recent decline.
