Meloni: “On the Pos we are still negotiating with the EU, otherwise we will invent a way not to charge commissions”

“If there are no margins” for negotiation with the European Commission to remove the obligation to accept Pos under 60 euros, “we will invent another way to not make merchants pay bank commissions on small payments”. This was specified by the Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, answering questions from reporters at the end of the Christmas concert in the Senate. At the event, opened by the greeting of the President of the Senate Ignazio La Russa, the Haydn Orchestra of Trento and Bolzano performed, conducted by Maestro Beatrice Venezi.

“The maneuver never has easy approval: we are all doing our job, but I think we did our best, in the conditions and within the times they had, to give parliament the opportunity to have time to evaluate it,” he claimed. the premier, recalling that “the government that was not born in October but in February presented the maneuver on November 20″. “We were also very willing to evaluate the merits of the individual proposals that arrived – she concluded -. And if there are good ones, no problem to deepen them. If, on the other hand, the approach is prejudicial, the government must be the government and the opposition the opposition”.

Already the tenant of Palazzo Chigi, at the party in Rome for the 10th anniversary of FdI, defended her first moves at the helm of the executive, in particular on the budget law, migrants and the rave decree. «I am very satisfied with the maneuver carried out in practically 10 days – claimed the Prime Minister -. Others would have postponed political choices, while we have presented a political manoeuvre, respecting many of the commitments made”.

Meloni has had it for everyone: for the “bizarre positions” of the CGIL “which says it is a maneuver against the poor and then, when it comes to confrontation with the government, defends the pos that affects small traders”; for Confindustria which «tells me that I have to do more» but «also tells me where to get the resources».
