“Happy to announce that today Italy has received almost 3.9 billion euros in additional loans under Sure, the EU instrument that protects jobs and businesses during the pandemic “, with these words the President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, in a tweet in Italian, announced a reinforcement of the European program for layoffs. The disbursement of these additional funds is in line with the decision from the Italian government: extend the stop of layoffs until June for those who “have ordinary social safety nets”, as the Italian Minister of Labor Andrea Orlando said.
“Italy will receive a total of 27.4 billion euros with Sure. Europe is with you”, he added.
