Elege lett az EU egyik legnagyobb tagországának Ursula von der Leyenből, levélben fenyegette meg a miniszterelnöke: súlyos csapást mér az unióra, ha nem intézkedik az energiaválság miatt

Giorgia Meloni, the Italian Prime Minister, warned Ursula von der Leyen in a letter that Italy will exit the EU's 150 billion euro SAFE defense rearmament program if Brussels does not extend fiscal flexibility to energy expenditures. Meloni argues that current EU rules allow for spending flexibility for defense but not for addressing energy market shocks, despite rising prices due to Middle Eastern tensions and the Ukraine war. She emphasizes that Europe's security cannot be measured solely by military capabilities and that economic stability is also crucial. The letter responds to internal political pressure from Matteo Salvini's Lega party for stricter fiscal discipline, contrasting with those advocating for increased defense spending.
