Eni, the main energy company, has announced a cap on the price of petroleum products. A laudable decision which is the fruit of FI's policy. If we had listened to the sirens of the left and also to some push from the center-right, some money would have come in but, by taxing businesses, we would have scared the markets. The Italian deputy prime minister Antonio Tajani said it

"This work of involvement was pursued by FI, I consider Eni's decision a political victory for FI".

Eni's fuel price cap "is good news that demonstrates how effective Forza Italia's action is in favor of common sense choices. No tax but full involvement of companies to reduce the burden on families and businesses due to the conflict. So this is good, I hope that other companies will also follow Eni's example. Collaboration between the State and businesses is fundamental and Descalzi's choice goes in this direction: the markets are not frightened and better results are obtained than those they would perhaps have been obtained with a tax on extra profits. The Forza Italia line, that of common sense, won." Thus Deputy Prime Minister Antonio Tajani on the sidelines of an FI event in Eur. "No snipers, the electoral law will be approved, but it is not the priority, the priority as far as we are concerned is the economy." This is how FI deputy prime minister Antonio Tajani responds on the sidelines of the party's regional congress to those who ask him if he can guarantee that among the Azzurri there will be no snipers on the electoral law in the Chamber.
