“Italy will continue to work with the European Union and our G7 partners to support Ukraine, seek peace, overcome this crisis. This is the mandate that the government has received from Parliament, from you. This is the guide for our action “. Prime Minister Mario Draghi said this in the House by repeating yesterday’s speech to the Senate.
Draghi underlined how “most of the countries close to Russia, large and small, are now looking to the European Union for security, for peace, for stability. The path from candidate country to member state is long due to the demanding reforms structural demands. But the European signal must be clear and courageous right from the start. Today, among other things, countries are able to carry out these structural reforms faster than in the past “.
On the energy chapter, for the premier “Europe must move quickly and decisively to protect its citizens from the fallout of the crisis triggered by the war. Since last year, Italy has allocated around 30 billion euros in aid to families and businesses. . Part of these interventions were financed with an extraordinary contribution from the large energy companies, which have accrued enormous profits thanks to the increase in prices. With this measure we have therefore called the companies that have benefited from exceptional increases to share in costs that all the society is enduring. It was a choice dictated by a principle of solidarity and responsibility “. Finally, the ‘wheat war’: “The ongoing conflict risks creating a humanitarian crisis of extraordinary dimensions. The supplies of wheat are at risk in the poorest countries in the world”.
