From this point of view, I cannot but call to caution in the political decisions to be taken in this election year, especially the political decisions that might have an impact on the budget; political decisions that generally might impact the economy," the prime minister told media at the Victoria Palace (government seat) ij a briefing on the UK referendum for leaving the EU.

And added: "We shall work and continue our analyses along three lines: economic, social and institutional. We will submit these elements to debate and talks; we will inform you, because I think it is very important that the positions we build, the debates we organize be based on facts and elements as accurate and factual as possible, to keep this debate within reasonable limits of calm and predictability," the PM said.
