Hoekstra is full of praise for Italy’s recovery plan: ‘Government is doing an excellent job’ Inland

Minister and Prime Minister at G20

–

ROME – During his visit with Prime Minister Rutte to the G20 summit in Rome, outgoing minister Hoekstra (Finance) does not have to look over his shoulder to see if he is being attacked by an angry Italian. On the contrary, the contacts are excellent. Our minister is even very enthusiastic about Italy’s economic recovery plan. There is nothing left of the fierce diplomatic clash that arose between the Netherlands and Italy last year when Hoekstra, after it was hit hard by the corona virus and asked for money, accused Italy of not having built up a buffer in better times.
