Rome, 25 August (LaPresse) – A meeting took place today between Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, Deputy Prime Ministers Antonio Tajani and Matteo Salvini, the leader of Noi Moderati, Maurizio Lupi, and the Minister for the Economy, Giancarlo Giorgetti, to discuss the situation regarding fuel prices and support measures. According to sources at Palazzo Chigi, a new Cabinet meeting is scheduled for tomorrow, which is expected to extend the measures currently in force for a few days, so as to allow the Government to work on a more targeted intervention. The measure due to expire tomorrow, therefore, will not be the final one, but will serve to allow the Government to finalise the measure within the necessary timeframe. The aim, these sources explain, is to draw up a measure that focuses more closely on the income brackets most in need of state support, thereby making the intervention more effective and selective.
Fuel: sources at Palazzo Chigi say: “Council of Ministers meeting tomorrow to extend the excise duty cut, followed by targeted measures”
