“Yesterday’s letter is the second one that Giorgetti signs together with other European ministers to tax the extra-profits of energy companies. While waiting for the proposal to gain the necessary consensus at the EU level, Meloni and Giorgetti should move from words to actions, take the initiative, and introduce this tax at the national level.” This is the proposal against the high fuel prices launched by Elly Schlein, anticipated by the online edition of Corriere della Sera.

“Fuel prices now exceed 2 euros per liter everywhere and in two days the excise cut on diesel expires – recalls the secretary of the Democratic Party -. Temporary measures are no longer enough. It is necessary to immediately adopt support measures for the most vulnerable families and businesses and to implement a real strategy to structurally reduce energy costs. A tax on energy extra profits can make an important contribution to financing these interventions.”

“The high fuel prices continue to weigh on families precisely during the counter-exodus weekend. Data released by the Ministry of Enterprises and Made in Italy speak clearly: self-service gasoline has reached an average of 2.010 euros per liter and diesel 2.130 euros. On the highway, prices reach respectively 2.087 and 2.203 euros per liter. These increases translate into a concrete cost for those who travel, work, and have to face daily expenses,” adds the Democratic senator Michele Fina. “Faced with this situation – he continues – the Government is out of answers: it is no longer possible to intervene with temporary and insufficient measures. Families have already paid a very high price during these holiday weeks: those who could afford them, since half did not have the opportunity to take them. Meloni must intervene so that the high energy costs do not continue to weigh on family budgets and businesses. International instability, fueled by the choices of the sovereignist Trump, has contributed to the volatility of energy markets. But precisely in a phase like this, policies capable of protecting citizens and businesses from external shocks are needed.”

“The Government must clarify which tools it intends to implement to contain the cost of fuel and energy, given that the intervention – on diesel only and of a few cents – provided at the beginning of the month is about to expire. The PD has indicated a path: immediately introduce the tax on extra profits, use the mechanism of mobile excise duties and, above all, present a structural strategy to reduce the cost of energy, accelerating the construction of renewable energy plants and also simplifying bureaucratic procedures to shorten the time needed to build them. We also ask the Government to clearly state how it intends to follow up on the flexibility made available by the EU on the energy front and what investments it intends to make: enough vagueness.”
