Meloni party moves against EU Green homes directive

(ANSA) - ROME, JAN 13 - Premier Giorgia Meloni's rightist Brothers of Italy (FdI) party on Friday filed a resolution in the House aimed at stopping an EU directive on Green homes that would hit some nine million Italian home owners who might be asked to pay large sums to boost their residences' energy efficiency by 2030.
    "The home is sacred and can't be touched," said FdI House Whip Tommaso Foti.
    "Brothers of Italy guards against the European Union's attempt to foist on Italy, with the directive on boosting energy efficiency, a camouflaged property tax that damages the rights of the owners," he said. (ANSA).
