Italian Premier Conte Sees ‘Swan Song’ of Europe's Old Order

Italian Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte promised that the country’s economic growth will return and that the coalition will press ahead, after being sharply criticized in the European Parliament earlier this week.

“I had the impression that for some members of the European Parliament, the discussion on Tuesday was a bit of a swan song,” Conte told newspaper Corriere della Sera in an interview. European voters will elect a new Parliament in May.
