"Europe is in a very tight negotiation, and our position is very clear. I'm not sure how we'll come up with a synthesis. Italy has demonstrated fiscal responsibility, but the question we are asking is in the interests of all European countries. We need to know whether Europe wants an economic plan." These are the statements of Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, which were broadcast live on the Palazzo Chigi's YouTube account yesterday. "The European Union has pushed countries to make massive investments in digital and green technologies. As a result, Italy requests that these European Union-incentivized expenditures in particular vital areas be recognized in governance standards. You can't ask people to invest in a few priority and then pretend it's useless, or create governance norms that penalize countries that invest. We cannot agree to a stability pact that we would not honor. But I see rays of optimism for a collaborative solution."
