Draghi against Germany and the EU: “If we go into recession it will be your fault”
Mario Draghi described as “furious” against Germany and Europe was the one who spoke at Prague Castle, where the EU summit was held, his penultimate as premier.
The next one is scheduled for 20 and 21 October and will be the last opportunity, at least for the current Prime Minister, to launch the price cap on gas. Immediately after, in fact, the Head of State Sergio Mattarella should give the job to Giorgia Meloni.
The positions among the EU countries, however, are still distant, which is why Draghi would have lost patience: “We have been discussing gas for seven months. We have spent tens of billions of European taxpayers, served to fund the war in Moscow and we have not solved anything yet. If we hadn’t wasted so much time now we wouldn’t be on the brink of recession ”.
“We have never seen it so hard” would have revealed those present according to a background de The print.
The premier’s criticisms would have been directed at Ursula von der Leyen, the Chancellor of Germany Olaf Sholz and the Dutch premier Mark Rutte, who, according to Draghi, would have broken the front of European solidarity, especially after Berlin’s decision to launch a maxi – 200 billion euro plan against expensive energy.
“What should Giorgia Meloni do now?” the Prime Minister would have declared, underlining that Italy, after having spent 60 billion on aid, would have no room for another deficit.
According to Draghi, Russian President Putin “is knowingly putting Europe in trouble on gas to fuel social tensions, build consensus and split the Union”.
And it is succeeding, is the reasoning of the former ECB president, who stressed that the Old Continent is on the verge of recession precisely because of the divisions within the European community.
