Yesterday the Minister of Foreign Affairs anticipated what the decree will contain Foreign, Antonio Tajaniin his speech at the conference of Young people from Confindustria. “The ongoing benefits will be extended until the end of the month”, he clarified, “the government will continue to act on the excise duties to lower the energy price but these are “expensive” measures and have a limited horizon, where they are needed structural measures like the creation of a single European energy market and the reintroduction of nuclear“.

Among the hypotheses on the table, majority parliamentary sources report, in addition to the financing of the mobile excise duties through theextra VAT revenue of May, a possible new ‘cut’ of the discount on diesel under 10 cents per litre.

The theme of expensive energy

“The problem of expensive energy it is not only linked to the emergency Hormuza contingent aspect, but also an overall aspect, requires a single energy market“, said the deputy prime minister of Forza Italia. “With the flexibility given to us, I believe the best thing would be to incentivize investments from the businesses in renewableright away. That is, tomorrow incentives will be given to all companies that decide to invest in renewables. So this is something that could be done right away.

The proposal on banking extra profits

Meanwhile the leader of the Lega Matteo Salviniproposes the idea of ​​hitting them again extra profits from the banks. “Go and see the quarterly of Unicredit e Intesa Sanpaolo – said the Northern League leader -.

I am convinced that the government and the League will be intransigent on this.”
