ROME (Reuters) – Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni said on Wednesday the European Union’s 2035 target to end the sale of carbon-dioxide emitting cars shows a “self-destructive” position on industrial and environmental issues.
“The ban on endothermic engine (cars) from 2035 is one of the most obvious examples of a self-destructive approach,” Meloni told an event in Rome.
“Accompanying the industrial sector in the challenge of ecological transition cannot mean dismantling entire sectors,” she added.
