(Finance) – “i duties There have been in the past and the Italian economy has not affected it. I think they are operations of politics and of geopolitics commercial“Thus the Minister of Transport, Matteo Salvini Speaking at the Irport Day organized by Assoaeropori. “We saw with Mexico: the duties feared on Mexico The handful of a few hours lasted and in the end they were withdrawn in exchange for the insurance from Mexico to deploy 10,000 soldiers on the border between Mexico and the United States. They are an operation of geopolitics and economics that will go on with Canada, with China, with Europe “, underlined the minister.
“We must not, speaking of free market, be afraid if the United States are American interests or if China makes Chinese interests. Perhaps the time has come for Europe to do European interests,” continued Salvini. “If I think of the demented policy of destruction of the sector ofautomotive carried forward by the myopia of European regulations, the problem is not the Chinese who sell us theirs car electric or the Americans who say stop the Green Deal – he said -. The problem is someone who in Brussels has decided to bomb a sector that for Italy, for France and Germany were core business “.
“So more than being afraid of feared duties, and I think we will also have the diplomatic possibilities to avoid damage for our country, I hope that what is happening to Washington and Beijing make it Brussels That making us hurt alone does not help the environment, “added the minister.
“I remember that we close 2023, the last year for which the data are available, with a historical record of CO2 introduced into the air because, among a thousand sacrifices required of airports, maritime, consumers and businesses, theItaly has slightly reduced CO2 emissions and in the same period the China He increased them by 460 million tons by burning coal to give us the batteries to go around with the electric car in the center of Rome in the Ztl – said the minister -. You understand the absolutely masochistic dimension of this path.
“I’m not afraid of duties, I’m afraid of environmental pseudo masochism of someone who has governed us in these years, “he concluded.
