Elly Schlein, Leader of Italy's Democratic Party, Has Called on the Government to Immediately Introduce a National Tax on the Extra Profits

Her proposal was previewed in an interview with Corriere online. "Yesterday's was the second letter that Giorgetti signs together with other European ministers to tax the extra profits of energy companies." While waiting for the proposal to gather the necessary consensus at EU level, Meloni and Giorgetti should move from words to deeds, take the initiative and introduce this tax at national level, Schlein said. The Democratic leader highlighted that fuel prices now exceed 2 euros per liter everywhere, and that the excise tax cut on diesel expires in two days. "Temporary measures are no longer enough," she stressed.
