Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni answered questions about the government.

“Neither Russian gas nor Chinese raw material”

 “Measures are needed in the medium-term to free Italy from an unacceptable energy dependence. I am thinking of the extraction of natural gas. I think that national resources must be used as Europe demands. Then they extract other nations and it is not that foreign gas pollutes less”. Giorgia Meloni said this in her reply to the Senate “We cannot think of demolishing supply chains of national production excellence to satisfy objectives established before the war and in a context different from that of today. We will never give up willingness to go from dependence on Russian gas to dependence on Chinese raw materials, it does not seem to me a very intelligent strategy”. This was stated by the Prime Minister, Giorgia Meloni, in the reply to the Senate.

Support for Ukraine

“The only possibility, since the world began, to favor negotiations in conflicts is that there is a balance. Unless you want to tell me that peace is achieved by surrender, peace is achieved by continuing with support for Ukraine, allowing it to defend itself. I have great esteem for the nation I am going to govern, but think that the position that Italy decides to hold on the situation in Ukraine, if Italy turns the other way – and I never will – by bartering its position for your own tranquility, what would the West do? The same thing! Therefore, the outcome for Ukraine would not change, but the approach that others will have on us, on our credibility, reliability also on a commercial level. Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni said this during the reply to the Senate, recalling that “our export volume with Russia is more or less than 1% while with the rest of the West it is more or less than 80%. What we decide on Ukraine – she concluded – we decide the fate of Italy”.
