Premier Giorgia Meloni told industry
association Confidustria's assembly in Rome on Wednesday that
she will try to "correct" the EU Green Deal because it is too
damaging to European business as it is.
Earlier on Wednesday Confindustria President Emanuele Orsini
said the Green Deal was riddled with mistakes that were putting
European industry in danger, saying "decarbonization at the
price of deindustrialization is a debacle".
Meloni said she agreed with Orsini.
"I thank him for being very clear about this, about the
disastrous results stemming from the ideological approach of the
European Green Deal," she said.
Meloni said she confirmed the government's "commitment to
correct these choices.
"Do we want to say that it is not very intelligent as a
strategy? We say it because we are friends of Europe and want to
defend Europe's industrial capacity.
"People who are friends of Europe must have the courage to say
what isn't working".
