Economic crisis in Italy cannot wait for political uncertainty. We need urgently some interventions to tackle with the need to contrast the double-dip in real economy, and support growth and employment. Five areas are stressed: a) infrastructures and territory conservations; b) employment and income for young people; c) innovations in workplaces; d) credit crunch and finance; e) wages, taxes and fiscal drag. Interventions in these areas require financial resources, and within the "austerity expansionary scenario" there is no rooms for growth and employment. We need to change this scenario in Europe, where growth and employment are stifled by tight budgets.
