Italian term or phrase: tenaglia a tre ganasce

Nel 2011, questa tenaglia a tre ganasce ha rapidamente punito il governo Berlusconi per il mancato rispetto degli impegni assunti in cambio del sostegno finanziario BCE, obbligandolo prima a intensificare la correzione fiscale e poi a rassegnare le dimissioni da primo ministro.

Previous section:
In contrast, the risk that support measures will undermine fiscal consolidation efforts (the moral hazard dilemma that seems to be a major cause for concern for the Bundesbank)seems more theoretical than real. In practice, the ECB can make aid-receiving countries aware of any dissatisfaction regarding the process being made without having to suspend the programme; additionally, given that the ECB has not eliminated the country risk premium, stringent market regulations will remain in place. Lastly, the significance of possible pressure between member states cannot be ignored.
