The Draghi effect is also felt in the United States. This is confirmed by the Minister of Economic Development Giancarlo Giorgetti, who from the Italian embassy in Washington during his three days in America spends words in support of the premier. “What have I found best in Atlantic relations? – commented the minister – I think there is this credibility, this feeling of trust, in particular towards President Draghi which is considered as a sort of guarantee: therefore this sympathy that exists around Italy now finds a basis more solid. We must take advantage of this moment to convince people to come and invest in Italy and also in bilateral exchanges, especially in the field of technology and research “.
Then the minister addressed other issues, starting with that of pensions so dear to the League. “Gradually remove the 100 quota, without penalizing those who started working as a young man doing strenuous jobs. I believe that we must go – he explained – towards a gradual elimination of the quota 100. That is the direction. Given the controversy on this issue when I mentioned that some categories must be saved, I think we need respect for those who started working at 15 in certain situations ».
«I have not changed my mind on the electoral law», Giorgetti continued «Italy needs a system that guarantees stability for five years. As for the return to proportional representation, the situation has changed compared to the past when we had five parties. Perhaps the majority should be strengthened ».
“We must begin to discuss clean nuclear power,” added the minister. “It is a topic that must be posed if we want to aim for the goal of self-sufficiency from an energy point of view”. Finally, a mention of the negotiations underway with the microchip giant Intel and the discussions with Moderna to bring the production of vaccines also in Italy. “They are two dossiers on which we want to achieve results,” he said, explaining, however, that in this phase “we need confidentiality”.
