(ANSA) – CAGLIARI, 14 SEPTEMBER – “We are absolutely against the tax on extra profits: we have said so from the beginning and we have not had any reports in this direction”. This was said, regarding the possibility of including the measure in the Budget, by Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani, in Cagliari to formalize the entry into Forza Italia of three regional councilors formerly of the Partito Sardo d’Azione. “We have our no – he reiterated – Minister Giorgetti has never spoken about it: I consider it a hypothetical period of unreality”. “We must do everything to start again from the real economy, which means industry and agriculture. When I spoke of the ECB’s lack of courage I was talking about this: the cost of money is high and it is difficult for entrepreneurs, especially young people, to have access to easy credit and plan long-term investments. Mine was therefore not a whim”. Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani thus returns to the statements of Christine Lagarde, who had said that “the European Central Bank is an independent institution”, after Tajani himself had urged the ECB to have “more courage” in cutting rates.
