Meloni in the room: “The European Union has a more decisive role”

From Brussels, you expect Rome.”An attempt to defend the purchasing power of households and the competitiveness of businessWhile the effects of the anti-inflationary plan launched by the United States are likely to be “distorting and discriminatory” towards European companies. Italy also aims to include in the conclusions of the European Council a condemnation of the death sentences in Iran: “The use of force against peaceful demonstrators against women is unjustified And above all unacceptable,” said the prime minister, who was applauded by the entire house.
