Brescia, 21 May (LaPresse) – “We must also call on Europe to act swiftly in its response to the energy issue. There was talk of the ‘Stability Pact’ and ‘the ability to grant exemptions, to treat energy expenditure in the same way as defence spending’. Some say that Meloni has changed her mind, but I have never changed my mind. I have not changed my views on defence spending; we must ensure a balance between necessity” and “the ability to meet the needs of citizens and businesses”. This was stated by the Prime Minister, Giorgia Meloni, at the Coldiretti assembly, held at the PalaLeonessa in Brescia, entitled ‘Coldiretti: The Country’s Friendly Force’.
