ROMA (ITALPRESS) – “The billion put in the budget by the government on the cut of excise duties is not enough: we cannot go on like this for weeks, so we ask the European Commission a possibility of derogation from the Energy Stability Pact, identical to what is on arms.” Thus Vice-Premier and Minister Matteo Salvini, guest at Non Stop News on Rtl 102.5. “On fuel there is obvious speculation in progress, but Brussels can’t pretend anything. There is a war that we did not want to add to another that we did not want. Italy is not at war, but cannot pay the shake: State aid can make them those with budgetary capacity like Germany or France, to us ask for rigour and rigour at this moment is not entirely sustainable. Or Brussels notices or wakes up, we play it,” he adds.
“Airline companies ask me to increase ticket prices because the fuel cost has doubled over a few days, but for now I managed to keep everything steady. It is clear that if the conflict should go ahead for other weeks it becomes more difficult to keep everything steady, but we would not like to have problems with the tourist season for the inertia of Brussels”, said Salvini.
“I don’t know what we are witnessing: the situation is already complicated with it without someone waking up attacking the Pope, there is a limit to human patience. If there is a moral, spiritual and political guide that is inviting to dialogue and calling for the resolution of conflicts is precisely the Pope – continues Salvini, – I am interested in not knowing what the President of the United States meant, but I know that the economic situation for millions of Italians is likely to become increasingly complicated; we are hypothesized a series of solutions, such as the block of bills on light, gas and diesel for the entire 2026 pre-war in Iran. There is also a need for collaboration on the part of Europe, which leaves a minimum of freedom of manoeuvre to the individual countries: or the suspension of the Stability Pact makes Brussels on its own initiative or we will be forced to do it alone. We do not ask for the extra money, but simply to use the ones we have in budget to block every increase at least for the whole 2026′′′, concludes.
