Yes - it will have more freedom to help key industries. But let’s not forget that despite EU rules - Belgium bailed out Sabena for years before it finally went bust. The EU looked the other way.
Similarly the Italian government gave Alitalia millions to try to keep it going - despite being told rules were broken, the EU looked the other way.
And very recently the German Government gave the German arm of Thomas Cook - Condor - the sum of €380M to keep it going - and here the EU were well aware of it and so far have done nothing.
Interesting precedents......
