Salvini: Tariffs? Ursula should stop the Stability Pact and the Green Deal.

Rome, July 31 (askanews) – “Beyond the issue of tariffs, which the Commission is working on, what I criticize President Von der Leyen for is that she is not lifting a finger for what she can do: that is, blocking the rules that limit countries' growth, starting with the Stability Pact.

"Why doesn't Ursula von der Leyen, even today, July 31, 2025, stop the Green Deal, which is nonsense, and stop the Stability Pact that is currently stalling economies? It's not Trump, Putin, Zelensky, or the sovereignists' fault. If she doesn't do it, she's wrong and condemning Italian businesses; that's entirely up to her." This was stated by League leader and Deputy Prime Minister Matteo Salvini, questioned in the Senate on the agreement on tariffs between the US and the EU.

Von der Leyen "should acknowledge the mistakes she's made: the Green Deal is bullshit, it's unsustainable in its methods and timeframes, it's a condemnation for our businesses, our citizens, our families. The Stability Pact that prevents us from investing to increase wages and open hospitals is nonsense. Ursula, why don't you do it? Those who support her should ask her with the same force as those who never supported her," she concluded.
