13:30 – Energy, Meloni: “We will support any action against speculation”
«The energy crisis is a European issue and as such must be addressed. Brothers of Italy and the European Conservatives have always argued that the real task of the European Union should be to manage the great continental challenges that are difficult to face by individual member states. Actions by individual states aimed at exploiting their strengths risk interfering in the competitiveness of companies and creating distortions in the single European market. We will support in Europe every action aimed at combating speculative phenomena and unjustified increases in the cost of energy and we will support every shared initiative of concrete help to families and businesses ”. So on Facebook the leader of the Brothers of Italy, Giorgia Meloni.
