The Prime Minister of Italy discussed national security and dependence on global actors during an interview on a local station.

In an interview with the Italian podcast 'Pulp', Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni emphasized the urgent need for Italy's autonomy in the context of global instability. She highlighted the military dependence on the USA, energy dependence on Russia, and raw material dependence on China, mentioning that the pandemic, the war in Ukraine, and conflicts in Iran and Africa have shattered stability.

Meloni criticized the European Union's green transition, arguing that investments in electrification have left Europe vulnerable and dependent on China. She advocated for diversifying energy sources and insisted on the need to reevaluate the closure of nuclear power plants. Additionally, the Italian government approved measures to reduce fuel prices in response to global supply instability. Meloni concluded that Italy must rely on its own strengths to secure its future.
