“Banning diesel and petrol cars from 1 January 2035 has nothing green about it: it is commercial, industrial and environmental suicide and a huge gift to China“. Speaking, and it couldn’t be otherwise, it is Matteo Salvini: The Minister of Transport and Infrastructure used his official Facebook account to once again contest the EU Commission’s decision to prevent the sale of new vehicles equipped with ICE engines from 2035.
The comparison between electric and diesel
“From the moment of construction to the start on the road, an electric car made in China entails higher emissions and costs than an electric car euro 6 diesel produced in Italy”the comparison ventured by Salvini. Who then spoke about the implications that the electricity transition could have on the entire industry: “About 14 million jobs in EuropeFurthermore, they would be at risk. Enough of Euro-European madness, let’s say yes to green but with common sense.”
Salvini attacks the EU
Less than a week ago Salvini himself had already expressed himself as follows on the topic: “If Europe castrates itself, commits suicide, in 10 years we should think about social safety nets to deal with 14 million potential people fired for the ideological furor that green obligations generate. In recent years someone has identified the car as the enemy, so it needs to be expelled from the cities and also from the production system… Regarding the ideological furor of ‘let’s ban endothermics’, many, starting with the Germans, are having second thoughts. The consumer must be offered the possibility of choice. It is not with obligations and prohibitions that you arrive at green, at sustainability, but you arrive at dismissalthe“.
