No to the new sting in the new Euro 7 standards for car emissions. “I hope that Timmerman’s ideology, namely Euro 7, is absolutely crazy to be shelved”, thunders Matteo Salvini at the Forum in Masseria organized by Bruno Vespa in Manduria, in the province of Taranto. “If they tell me that from 2035 I can no longer put models of internal combustion cars on the market, they are forcing companies to make a change before 2035, moving from Euro 6 to Euro 7, it is a forced hospitalization thing”, says the Minister of Infrastructure and Transport and leader of the League. “First we send the euro 7 to the archive and then in 2026 in Europe there will be a verification of the fundamentalist choices made by this commission”.
On the bridge over the Strait that finally sees the light, Salvini says “it won’t be a cathedral in the desert, but a piece of a jigsaw puzzle”. “The bridge alone does not solve anything – he adds – but now the road and railway work sites will be under construction for tens of billions of euros in Sicily and as many in Calabria. This is an argument that is no longer valid, in fact now the Otherwise it would be true, it would not make sense to accelerate the trains at high speed in these two regions and then put the carriages on the ferry”.
After the rejection of Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, Salvini also returns to the Mes: “We are not in the exchange of goods. The Stability Pact must guarantee jobs for Italians and European citizens, therefore the ‘no return’ to austerity, to cuts in health , school and public works that there was in the past. The Mes is now not a useful tool, we don’t need it. It makes no sense, “he said on the sidelines of the debate on a possible negotiation that includes the Stability Pact and Mes. “We saw the Italians – he added – who subscribed to 18 billion euros in Treasury bonds with the advantage that it is the public debt that will guarantee public works and jobs in Italy with interest that will end up in the current accounts of Italian savers. I do not want the future of Italy – explained Salvini – to depend on some public or private body with offices abroad and with criteria and evaluations that are not necessarily useful for our country. This also applies to the guidelines imposed by a European commission, happily extroverted, the result of an agreement between popular and socialists who made choices about cars and houses against development, against the environment, against modernity and against Italy”.
