September 23, 2019 "Italy wants leadership in the world and primacy on the theme of green new deal". This is the message that Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte will send to the UN General Assembly. "This - the newly arrived Premier in New York has explained - obviously does not mean taxing our production system to free resources, but it means creating incentives to redirect the whole system in that direction".Foreign Minister Luigi Di Maio said he "absolutely agreed" with the premier on the search for Italian leadership in the green economy. "but - he said, speaking next to him - there are transitional processes to be set in motion, it is important that we do not create shocks: if we encourage processes and we want to discourage others, to create processes more compatible with the environment, we need to give people time to adapt their lifestyles and companies to be able to convert ".
As for the tax on snacks "nothing is decided yet, we will evaluate it together, we will reason and we will compare": Thus the premier Giuseppe Conte replied to journalists as soon as he arrived in New York. "It is premature to say if we will decide yes, among the hypotheses I have mentioned there is also this possibility, an initiative that represents a new approach in terms of food culture and for the health of our children".
Previously Luigi Di Maio had argued that '' the goal is to lower, not raise taxes. If then there is a project that discourages harmful sources, we must make a large-scale project, not bounce to make cash ''. The foreign minister then called for "a budget law that improves the quality of life of Italians and helps companies to recruit more by lowering the tax wedge". "Minister Gualtieri and the whole government are doing a good job of designing to meet the promises we made to the Italians in the classroom when we asked for trust," the Foreign Minister said.
