But if Italian agrifood business believes that they can triple exporting by cracking down on food counterfeiting. then surely signing trade deals that give full and proper protection to their trademarks is the way to go.
but on the other hand, italians complaining about counterfeiting is fucking hilarious.

They're trying to get the head of the social security institute sacked. Among his sins is implying that immigration might be good for an ageing society like Italy.

This weekend's depressing Italian news is that the coalition's candidate for the Presidency of RAI (the state broadcaster, new Italian governments regularly turn over management at all state enterprises) is a former Berlusconi "journalist" who has recently been a frequent contributor to RT and met with Bannon last time he blew through.

60+ years of embourgoisement and co-option for one.
Massive infighting among personality-driven factions for another.
And, perhaps most importantly, the decimation of their traditional base through a) deindustrialisation and b) massive emigration by young, highly educated people who believe that they have no future in the country.

It's very difficult to tell just how serious this is, given that it is August, but there are a number of new fault lines opening within the governing coalition.
In addition to the vaccine question noted above, there is increasing controversy around massive infrastructure projects, primarily the TAV (high speed rail line between Lyon and Torino) and the TAP (Trans Adriatic Pipeline, which includes a sub-sea portion between Albania and Puglia). In both cases, M5S generally supports local environmentalists who have been fighting the projects for years, while the Lega (and Salvini in particular) sees them as net positives and is genuinely concerned about the cost of abandonment (estimated at billions of euro for the TAV).
The negotiations over the new budget to be launched in the fall also look to be contentious for sure.

Largely because they currently control a number of cities where the natives are getting restless after M5S' failure to deliver the change that they promised.
I wasn't trying to claim that M5S' opposition to these projects was rooted in commitment to the environment, but rather noting that there has been serious local opposition for years (decades for the TAV, as Kev notes) that they are now piggybacking on.

He said Rome would try to apply its planned reforms, which include tax cuts and higher spending on pensions and welfare, without breaching fiscal conditions set by the European Union to help Italy reduce its public debt, the highest in the bloc after bailed-out Greece.
However, “our priority is the citizens and their needs,” Di Maio told broadcaster RAI in an interview.
