ROMA (ITALPRESS) – “After the war in Iran, energy costs have increased considerably and this affects the lives of families and businesses. We ask the EU not the money of others, but to be able to use the money that Italy has in cash to help families and businesses in difficulty, as it would allow us to do today to buy weapons. But the answer today is no, I imagine we will ask as an Italian government not the possibility for all European countries to derogate, but to do so with our money and for our citizens”. Thus the Vice-Premier and Minister of Transport, Matteo Salvini, at RTL 102.5. “I think they will have to say yes because opening a European infringement for a country that wants to help families and businesses in difficulty with two ongoing wars seems crazy,” he adds.
“After Friday we should definitely extend” the cut of the excise, “but for thousands of transporters this cut is irrelevant. We have the meeting Friday with all the sigles of the road haulage to revive a tax credit and find some hundreds of million euros to cover of the balances that are in loss. The transporters have proclaimed a strike all next week and are right, we must be able to help them because you stop for a week the trucks means having Italy in chaos. I am surprised that in Brussels someone does not realize the situation – he continues – here it is not about being loyalists, rulers or Eurosceptics, but to choose whether to stop a country or allow a government to spend the money of Italians to help other Italians.”.
