(ANSA) – ROME, SEPTEMBER 18 – “I am confident that we can do something better than the Commission’s forecasts: I continue to believe that +1% of GDP is within reach, especially after the first two quarters. Any triumphalism would be childish but it was not a given after years spent at the bottom of the rankings”. This was stated by Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni at the Confindustria assembly. “I agree with Orsini, I thank him for being very clear on this, on the disastrous results resulting from an ideological approach to the European Green Deal: decarbonisation at the price of deindustrialisation, he said, is a debacle, that’s how it is”, the Prime Minister continued, confirming “the commitment to correct these choices”. Speaking about the maneuver, the prime minister explained the rationale behind the aid to large families: “I want to be quite clear. We want to follow the same approach we have had so far, and which I think is shared here: budget laws inspired by common sense and seriousness, which concentrate the few resources available in supporting businesses that hire and create jobs, in strengthening the purchasing power of families, with particular attention to families with children, not out of ethical choice but out of economic necessity, and in defending the health of citizens”. And to businesses she explained: “We gave a clear message that the State would not disturb those who wanted to do something but would walk alongside them as an ally – she added -. We also said ‘no’ when it had to be said, because citizens’ money should not be thrown out the window”. Finally, on the choice of Fitto to the EU: “I think that Raffaele Fitto as executive vice president of the European Commission is a result that should make us all proud, to be brought home with everyone’s contribution, because he is not a government commissioner but an Italian and Italy must do what it can to help him fill such an important role”.
