The government is trying to reduce the skyrocketing petrol and diesel prices.

As fishing boats and cargoers stop and fears about the stability of the food supply spread, Mario Draghi is studying counter-moves: one or more orders will be approved this week if they go ahead as planned in the cabinet on Thursday.

The goal is to once again intervene to support families, businesses, calm them down and pay their bills. However, the budget is no different. Even now. The government is assessing the possibility of using the surplus VAT revenue in the coming months for fuels and interfering with the extra profits of companies in certain sectors, underlining the “maintaining the stability of public finances” filtering through the palazzo. Chigi.

Using these resources, the government intends to reduce excise duty in the meantime and reduce fuel prices nationally (by about 10% according to some technical estimates), and then in the European Union, to get the green light from the Allies. European limit on gas import prices. The proposal was already on the list of 27 people at the informal summit in Versailles, and the Prime Minister now promises maximum commitment to reach a European energy strategy. The Council of the European Union will meet on March 24 and 25, and Italy and France will work together to find a new response to the new eurobond, as tabled on the table. “If we want to get out of these events while maintaining the standard of social cohesion and avoiding the growth of inequalities, we must provide Europe with more common tools, and that is the way to go,” Andrea Orlando said in Brussels today.

In the meantime, however, the parties continue to be under pressure and push for swift action. “During the week, as other European governments did, the League expects the government, I think Irish, to block excise duty and VAT on petrol, electricity and gas for a fixed period of time because of the costs now. Families, workers, and businesses are not sustainable, “said Matteo Salvini, who is adamant that new debt is unavoidable and time-consuming:” The tool points to the government: a budget change, an urgent order, someone says to wait until March 31 for the economy and finances to move on from Brussels. ” Here, the only thing I refuse to wait for is the truth from Brussels. If anyone thinks they can wait for April, they have miscalculated, ”he warns. On the other hand, Silvio Berlusconi is trying to play with Europe: “Fuel prices endanger even the supply of food: I asked the EU Commission to set a maximum cap on excise duty,” Knight announced on Facebook. A question for the FII’s European Commission to understand is “if it intends to add the maximum excise duty applicable to each member state, what measures does it intend to take to compensate the most affected member states for the lack of oil imports. We need to think about tariff restructuring, “M5S leader Giuseppe Conte reiterated, urging” a solidarity mechanism to transfer resources from the most profitable areas to the most difficult areas. “
