Letta calls for ‘progressive turning point’ in EU

(ANSA) – Rome, November 29 – Italian Premier Enrico Letta said Friday that Europe needed a “turning point brought about by progressives” after five years of austerity. Letta, who was addressing a congress of the tiny Italian Socialist Party, has vowed to use Italy’s duty presidency of the European Union in the second half of next year to ensure that the EU moves to a period of promoting growth and fighting unemployment.
