...in other words, it's not that different from RBS and Lloyds over here thus the Italian calamity some were actively wishing for will not happen.
What are the chances of Italy ever being able to pay back the 15bn? I wonder if there'll be continual bailing out Italy like Greece? |

However, they'll be owing the EU, and austerity measures will be worst than Greece. Prepare for Italian riots and people being disenfranchised with the EU.

If you want real debt, take a look at this figure - £1.8 trillion. That is the UK's national debt figure and Italy's £12.7 billion figure is insignificant in comparison.

Italy has been a bit of a basket case economy for decades and the public know full well that their own chaotic political system is largely to blame. They don't really have an Italian version of the Daily Express and the Daily Mail telling them (lying in other words) that the EU are to blame for all their problems.

However they will have to pay back the EU this time around, and the EU is very strict with governments implementing austerity measures to pay them back. The every day Italians, will be blaming the EU, as the new government will be pinning the blame of austerity on EU measures, that they are forced to do.

For sure, but the public know full well that many of the country's problems stem from inefficiencies and mismanagement of their own economy. There might be anger at austerity measures by the EU but they would never fall into the trap of thinking the EU were to blame for all of their problems : they had around 60 changes of government and Prime Minister even before they joined the Eurozone.

You seem to be one of those who seems to want Italy's economy and political system to crash and burn. It won't happen so get over it and find something more constructive to do with your time.
It's clear that them being bailed out, it'll cause great financial problems for the EU. The Italian economy could very well end up exactly like Greece. The EU hasn't had a good record, when lending money and demanding it back, which all but bankrupted Greece. There will be many problems if Italy turns into Greece, as austerity will only further damage their economy, and businesses will be closing left and right. Italy already has major problems with Italians sending their money abroad, whilst evading taxes, and that'll increase with austerity. The EU needs to relax their measures on getting their money back from Italy, however I doubt it. The EU are too inflexible and will be going with the stern approach. |

That's not what I want, I'm only stating the obvious. Whether they crash or not, is their own doing.

It is hardly a crisis as things are exactly as they were before the referendum on the constitution and all it really means is things will stagger on as before.
Interesting times lie ahead. |

There's talk of the Italians now possibly having a referendum on the single currency. I've no idea what the knock on effect of that could be should they drop it but business as usual? I'm not sure it could be.
