Meloni defends Ukraine support and Giorgetti proposes youth tax cuts

Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni has reaffirmed her government's steadfast support for Ukraine, stating that her position is driven by national interest rather than political expediency. Meloni emphasized that supporting Kyiv is essential to defending Rome and maintaining international rules, noting that it would have been electorally more advantageous to withhold aid. She also expressed her refusal to form political alliances with parties that vote against military support for Ukraine.

In discussions regarding the European Union, Meloni advocated for a confederate model that prioritizes national sovereignty over federal integration. She also addressed defense spending, comparing it to the necessary security expenses a family incurs for their home.

Separately, Economy Minister Giancarlo Giorgetti outlined priorities for the upcoming budget law. He proposed a 5% flat tax on salary increases for young workers to encourage employment and growth. Giorgetti also noted the need to review existing welfare measures to ensure they are equitable and do not duplicate benefits across different income brackets.
