Paragone's position comes after the EU advanced an agreement to launch a 750 million euro economic recovery fund for the post-covid crisis.

Italian Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte detailed that 28% of the funds – almost 210 billion euros – will go to Italy in the form of grants and loans.

O Euro-skepticism arrived in Italy, but, so far, no movement has managed to gain strength and gather the votes of the most discontented voters on a large scale.

It is worth remembering that Paragone left the 5 Star movement, which currently runs the country together with the pro-European Democratic Party (PD).
