Meloni cere băncilor și firmelor din energie să dea bani la buget. Alternativa: o taxă pe "profiturile excepționale"

The Italian government is in talks with banks and energy companies regarding their potential financial contributions to the state. Deputy Economy Minister Maurizio Leo emphasized a cooperative approach, aiming to avoid conflict with these companies. Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni seeks funding for tax cuts for middle-income earners in the upcoming budget, amidst rising energy prices and public debt concerns. The far-right League party suggests banks should contribute up to three billion euros, adding to the twelve billion already planned from banks and insurance companies by 2028. Additionally, several EU finance ministers advocate for a tax on energy companies' exceptional profits due to the ongoing supply crisis.
