Government, Meloni to Schlein: ‘Empty fridge? It’s irresponsible to portray Italy like that.’

Rome, 17 December (LaPresse) – ‘The issue of the high cost of living is particularly close to our hearts, but if I may say so, with regard to some statements I heard a few days ago, that Italians have empty refrigerators… Now it seems a little irresponsible to me to portray Italy as if it were a country with masses of people who are undernourished and malnourished due to a lack of food.’ This was stated by Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni during her response in the Chamber of Deputies following the debate on communications ahead of the European Council.
