Carlo Calenda has told private Italian TV La7 today that the second priority was ensuring as little public money as possible is spent in the deal, and the third is protecting workers.
Calenda said 8 billion euros (USD 9.5 billion) of state money had been spent to keep Alitalia afloat and the result is "an airline that keeps getting smaller and more dysfunctional. ... If we had sold it to a big international player, we would have better service and we wouldn't have thrown away all this money."
