(Finance) – The president of Confindustria, Carlo Bonomi, has returned to support the need to put a ceiling on the price of gas to stem the expensive bills. “We asked for it in all kinds of ways”, he declared at the “Med in Italy” event organized in Palermo by the Young Entrepreneurs. “It was enough to do an operation on contracts of merit – he explained – It was enough to ask the importers for a copy of the contracts, to see the prices and for how many years, because we are very convinced that they are multi-year supply contracts at well-defined prices. “” It is clear that there is one going on speculation very strong, a speculation on which it is not clear why nobody wants to intervene “, he added
“It is not true that Confindustria does not want taxation on extra profits, we do not want that speculation to be generated because businesses and families are paying for that speculation – continued Bonomi -. We must act upstream, it is evident “.
The suicide energetic “It is not that we have done it today, we have done it in decades of reckless choices”, explained the president of the industrialists. “Just to stay in the field of Russia, in March 2014 the conflict in Crimea ends and in May 2014 the European community sends a document asking member countries to decrease their dependence on Russian gas, what has Italy done? He doubled it, “he pointed out.” This gives the idea of how there is no vision about the future. So today we are forced, families and businesses, to pay for decades of wrong political choices “, she reiterated.
“We have to change ours energy mix and we find ourselves changing it in a very complicated situation – he stressed -, where it was thought that the transition was only from the fossil to the renewable and instead we have to change fossil to fossil if we want to become independent in the short term from supplies, in a geostrategic context completely changed in 2-3 months “.
