Urso “Let’s work for the future, to change European industrial policy”

MESTRE (VENICE) (ITALPRESS) – The Minister of Enterprise and Made in Italy, Adolfo Urso, also spoke at “2 Years of the Meloni Government. Italy runs again,” an event proposed, at the NH Laguna Palace in Venice on Saturday afternoon, Oct. 26, by the center-right coalition to celebrate two years of the Meloni government. Urso began by emphasizing how “inflation, which when we came to government two years ago was at 12 percent, is now at 0.7 percent.” “Inflation has fallen drastically and, at the same time, in these two years GDP has grown, GDP that continues to grow even in this 2024 and grows more than the nations with which we in Italy have to compare ourselves, particularly France and Germany,” he stressed. Contextually, in these two years, since we have taken away the citizenship income, we have broadened the employment base, creating one million jobs and, very relevant fact, as an exporting country we have first surpassed South Korea, the fifth largest exporting country, and now we are surpassing Japan, the fourth largest exporting country. “We are also working for the future, to change the European industrial policy and our reasons are beginning to make their way in Europe,” Urso added further. “We need to change the European green deal policy, combining environmental needs with industrial needs and ensuring that electric technology is made on our continent.” “The challenges of the future Italy will be able to win them by taking into account that the main differential for our country is the cost of energy: we have presented to our various interlocutors, from institutions to trade unions to business associations, a document in which we highlight how, alongside the increasingly important development of all renewable sources, it is necessary for our country to return to producing nuclear energy,” Urso further said. “We are working to define, by the end of the year, a dedicated legislative framework and to define an entity that produces advanced third generation and fourth generation nuclear plants, plants then can supply them to those in Italy and around the world who need them. Italy has the patents, the science, the technology and the companies to make them. We can be among the group of countries capable of creating nuclear plants: we must guarantee our country and our continent strategic autonomy. The events of recent years teach this.”- Photo Agency Photogram – (ITALPRESS).
