The Prime Minister, Giorgia Meloni, “has urgently convened a meeting at Palazzo Chigi following the decree of the Milan Court of Appeal which ordered the suspension of production activities in the hot area of the former Ilva of Taranto, which will effectively lead to closure within 90 days. These are the essential plants for the production capacity of the plant, where most of the workers of Acciaierie d’Italia are employed.”
A note from Palazzo Chigi reports that “the Government acknowledges the provision of the Milan Court of Appeal, which comes on the eve of the consultation table with the trade unions scheduled for tomorrow and which, in light of this decision, makes such consultation even more necessary.” “Despite the new developments – it is explained -, the Council of Ministers, convened for this afternoon, will confirm the allocation of an additional tranche of the loan necessary to ensure the operational continuity of the company pending the completion of the sale with reference to the cold area.”

“The decree – reads the note – intervenes precisely at the moment when the formalization of the agreement for the sale of the entire industrial complex to a leading steel operator was imminent. The meeting was attended by Ministers Marina Calderone, Tommaso Foti, Giancarlo Giorgetti, Gilberto Pichetto Fratin, Adolfo Urso and Undersecretaries Alfredo Mantovano and Giovanbattista Fazzolari.”

“A discount on diesel is planned and only on diesel for a value between excise duties and VAT of 17 cents, until August 6.” The Minister of Economy, Giancarlo Giorgetti, said this at a press conference after the Council of Ministers. “The cost of the operation is around 125 million euros,” Giorgetti added. “We have not intervened on tobacco excise duties,” he concluded. “The other article of the decree approved today by the Council of Ministers, which was conceived before the Milan ruling, provides an additional 100 million in favor of the extraordinary administration of Ilva to complete the sale process of the activities to be limited to the cold activities that were in an advanced stage of definition and which now will have to be updated based on the ruling that has intervened,” added the Minister of Economy.
Also speaking was Giorgia Meloni. “International tensions are causing fuel prices to rise again and, with them, the cost of everything that travels by road. Faced with this increase, which we did not cause but must manage, we decided to intervene immediately: today the Council of Ministers approved, by decree, an immediate cut on diesel, the fuel that weighs most on transport, agriculture and on the prices every family pays. We know it does not solve the problem. But it is a timely and responsible response, taking into account the few resources we have and an international framework in continuous evolution.” The premier wrote this on social media at the end of the Council of Ministers which approved the new reduction of excise duties on fuels until August 6. “We follow the evolution of the situation day by day, also on the conflict front, and we will meet again before the deadline to decide the next steps. We will do everything we can not to leave citizens and those who keep the Nation going alone,” she concluded.
