Do we need to [00:00:03] return to purchases? Yes or no? It's not only me [00:00:07] who claims this. [00:00:09] Yes, after the conflict ends, it is necessary to resume purchases. [00:00:13] The numbers speak for themselves, just look at how much [00:00:17] gas costs today and how much it cost 4-5 years [00:00:19] ago. [00:00:23] I repeat, either a diplomatic [00:00:26] solution will be found, we don't need weapons, we need diplomacy. [00:00:30] This means that the warring parties must sit at the negotiating table, and the rest [00:00:34] of the world must facilitate these [00:00:36] negotiations, and if someone pushes and inflames [00:00:39] the conflict, the situation will become more complicated, but I prefer to remain [00:00:43] optimistic. [00:00:48] Frozen Russian assets, we once said that this is certainly very [00:00:52] dangerous, because taking them is stealing and creating a very [00:00:56] dangerous precedent. [00:01:00] Yes, of course, fortunately not only I think this way, a person [00:01:04] whom the press and the left accuse of having some incomprehensible [00:01:07] interests, of having suspicious ties with [00:01:10] Russia. My interests are the interests of an Italian who cares about [00:01:14] Italy. It is enough to recall the Prime Minister of [00:01:17] Belgium, who was one of the first to state that before [00:01:20] expropriating and freezing, [00:01:23] one must protect oneself, because otherwise one will have to pay [00:01:27] dearly for it. We in Italy have. [00:03:00] everyone in the cold season, then you are not contributing to [00:03:03] fueling the conflict. And I repeat, we do not have a one-party [00:03:07] government of the League party. Nevertheless, the current coalition [00:03:11] set a new record for staying in power. I [00:03:14] work a lot and well with our Prime Minister and [00:03:17] expect that the coalition will continue to take [00:03:20] a much more balanced position than the one [00:03:24] demonstrated by other European countries. Just [00:03:27] today I was again reading that it is approaching. [00:04:30] that India and Turkey are also ready to act as [00:04:33] intermediaries. The more people are involved in [00:04:36] mediation efforts, the better, but if today you ask me [00:04:40] where the border should be, who should [00:04:43] give up what, then I raise my hands, because [00:04:47] only the leaders of the countries involved in the [00:04:49] conflict can decide this. Europe and its complete [00:04:53] absence are being discussed. [00:05:00] Russia and Ukraine, it is also about economic problems, about the [00:05:03] madness of the green agenda, which is being promoted at all costs, [00:05:07] firing tens of thousands of people, as if in the name of [00:05:10] achieving environmental goals. which can only be achieved in the [00:05:14] long term. Unfortunately, in terms of demography [00:05:17] and industrial development, while [00:05:20] other countries are investing and developing, [00:05:23] Europe will have a completely different weight in 20-30 [00:05:27] years. In terms of demography, there are currently two [00:05:31] giants in the world - China and India, but there is [00:05:34] also Africa, for example, Nigeria, where in [00:05:38] about 30 years there will be more inhabitants than in the USA and the European Union.
