Berlusconi: Rome must cut gas supplies from Russia to Italy faster than Moscow does

Italians need to stop importing Russian energy resources. Moreover, Rome must interrupt gas supplies from Russia to Italy faster than Moscow does.

This proposal was made by the former head of the Italian government and leader of the Forward, Italy! Silvio Berlusconi during an interview with Il Foglio newspaper.

To their question about whether the former head of government supports the demand of other Italian political movements, whose leadership wants to cancel gas imports from the Russian Federation, Berlusconi answered in the affirmative. At the same time, he added that before disconnecting from Russian gas, the authorities should take care of sources that could replace it. The politician believes that Italy should create LNG terminals and waste-to-energy plants.

Berlusconi also calls on the current Italian authorities to invest in renewable energy, as well as in the construction of nuclear power plants, and only after that raise the issue of refusing gas from Russia.

Then we can end the addiction that gives us obvious problems.

- said the ex-premier.

Earlier, Russian political expert Anatoly Ivanov said that of all European countries, only Germany, which has the strongest economy compared to other EU members, is able to cope with the energy crisis due to gas shortages. The rest of the EU states will not be able to do this.

What are they smoking there? Give me one too!!!

Honestly, I would like to read the original source. It may turn out that he said something different. It is a pity that there is no link to the original source here.

[Alex777]

Caballero is a very smart person and understands everything.
And his political career was killed by the States.
So now he formulates his thoughts neatly.

[Zhan]

Yes, Berlusconi's career was pushed back by the states, I think he wanted to say that it would be time to leave NATO first. Yes, in general, to bury NATO for the whole of Europe, to expel the Anglo-Saxons to their fiefdoms, and everything would begin to improve.

Not really in principle - it says in Russian "we will create energy reserves, build a nuclear power plant, and only then it will begin to refuse gas ... in 10 years ..."

[Alex777]

Who here knows what will happen in 10 years?
Caballero himself is not young. Without going into
in the details of the translation it can be said that
during his lifetime, refuse gas is not
necessary. Then - what you want, then do it.

You won't find.
This is called propaganda, and propagandists hang it on their ears.
1. It was not now, but in April 2022
2. He said so (pardon my Italian)

Berlusconi intervened (min. 24:20) on this issue on 10 April during a public speech at a meeting of Forza Italia in Rome. "We cannot refuse, at least immediately, from gas supplies from Russia, although this should be our goal, but at the right time, those who need to do without them," Berlusconi said.

Quote: propaganda

interview with journalists of the newspaper Il Foglio.

They always hide links, because they lie. The stuffing happened today, but the “source” wrote (oh, he lied) in a completely different way

Former Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi has said the country should give up Russian gas before Russia cuts off supplies. This was stated by the leader of the Forward Italy party in an interview with Il Foglio. According to the politician, it is possible to stop the import of fuel from Russia, provided that conditions are created for alternative supplies.

And on August 17 or 18, he drowned for the development of nuclear energy of the 4th generation in Italy

[Awaz]

I have now also searched through the entire newspaper but did not find any interview in the coming days. I also watch Italian news in order to support the language, and although I haven’t watched much in the last couple of days, I haven’t heard anything about Berlusconi, except about Medvedev, who seems to be interfering in elections in Italy))

[Alexga]

You are absolutely right. It is regrettable that most of the local commentators, without delving into the content of the publication, madly rush into the showdown here. The position of VO is understandable, the hotter the news, the more profitable for them. But this is somehow not very moral.

[TreeSmall]

But this is somehow not very moral

There's not only morality "not very"

[BlitzZ]

This is already a question for VO newsmen. But basically the meaning is about the same.
I checked the newspaper's official website, but you can only read the full article if you subscribe.

[alystan]

It is very difficult to find the original source.

But then I came across in this newspaper not an article about Medvedev's interference in the upcoming early elections in Italy and I thought, maybe DAM had so excited them all there.
What Antonia Ferri wrote about in her article...

Medvedev's Intervention in European Elections: "The Punishment of Governments". This clash between Letta, Salvini and Meloni | His words show Italy is the weak link

The deputy chairman of the Russian Security Council attacks politicians and testifies for voting in the next elections. Democratic Party: “Moscow has submitted a ballot to the Italian polling stations. It is clear that on September 25 they will also vote on this matter.”

And RIA Novosti presented the same news in a completely different way.

Berlusconi offered to refuse from Russian gas considering that Italy should abandon Russian gas before Russia can decide to stop its supplies to the Apennines.

When asked if he supported the Democratic Party and the Brothers of Italy call for the government to stop gas supplies from Russia, he said: “Of course, if conditions for alternative supplies are created during this time and there is investment in renewable energy sources ... And, at least research into clean nuclear energy will be resumed so that we can end the addiction that is obviously causing us problems."

And this is not quite a categorical "Italians need to stop importing Russian energy resources."

[laws70]

“It is necessary to create conditions for alternative energy supply. There should be regasifiers and thermoelectric generators, investments in renewable energy sources, research in the field of pure atom should be resumed. Only then can we put an end to addiction, which is an obvious problem for us, ”TASS quotes Berlusconi.

[Thrifty]

I suggest that the Italians become novators and build the world's first power plant where spaghetti will be used as fuel

[Zhan]

You know, a lot of Italians treat Russia and Russians very well. We could be very fruitful and good friends and cooperate. But this block of Anti-Russia NATO is pushing everyone to the abyss. Yes, I also have a premonition of a big war. They hope once again that the war will cancel all debts, the balance sheet will be reduced to zero and in the production of weapons, a new technological revolution will be made. The most important thing for them is not to let us develop, they need our natural resources in order to continue to fatten. It is necessary to eliminate the root of the problem, not its consequences.

[laws70]

Friendship with Russia is not in trend now. It's one thing in the kitchen, another in the media.

[Alexga]

This is a reprint of RIA Novosti. Berlusconi's key phrase is missing: "Of course, provided that conditions for alternative supplies are created during this time." And the meaning becomes different.

[Pereira]

Especially if the power plants are built by Rosatom.

[Mountain shooter]

Quote: Pereira

Exactly! And yet... First we build this, this, and this, and then again... Khoja Nasreddin, however! Yes, during this time the donkey will be taught to speak ...

[impostor]

Silvio is an old warrior and womanizer, if he makes such statements, it means that he wants the situation to look like this: DON'T, I AM!!!

[KuKuMba]

added that before disconnecting from Russian gas, the authorities should take care of sources that could replace it.

The text is very similar.

[tralflot1832]

Berlusconi turns out to be that little rascal, but he did not add that all he offered was his assets, well, at least half. Forward Italy!

[fif21]

Quote: tralflot1832

If the ruling party in Italy does this , then Berlusconi will definitely win the elections ! That mafia bastard

[tralflot1832]

We are building an LNG terminal on this beautiful land, and who owns this land? Berlusconi sir. And that land for a nuclear power plant, Berlusconi sir, and the same for a wind farm. land of Berlusconi, as a sign of respect.

[Ivan Ivanov]

And our elite, including the president, obviously took the painted smiles of Western clowns for sincerity

[Borik]

Berlusconi is calling on the incumbent Italian authorities to invest in renewable energy, as well as in the construction of nuclear power plants, LNG terminals and waste-to-energy plants. and only after that raise the issue of refusing gas from Russia.

This means that after 20 years, you might think whether or not they will be cut off from Russian gas.

[isv000]

And you, our friend Silvio, go there too!

[barclay]

Such friends by the "ear", but to the museum. The old man decided to shake off the web.

[Ural_engineer]

and waste-to-energy plants.

yes, yes, otherwise they will shit up to their throats again, as has happened more than once. They can’t clean up their garbage, but everything is the same - independence ... independence ....

[tralflot1832]

You do not know that in Italy the mafia is engaged in garbage. And it is immortal.

[tihonmarine]

Then we can end the addiction that gives us obvious problems.

- said the ex-premier.

And it is known in advance that these are impossible tasks and there is no need to strain your brains.
The more you think, the more you sweat.

[kor1vet1974]

Silvio was a partner and remained with him, but not friendly

[Dedok]

yes, Berlusconi is still that pretzel: Izh how he wrapped
EU and EC from such words - slightly in "not myself" should be

[yuriy55]

Berlusconi: Rome must cut gas supplies from Russia to Italy faster than Moscow does

Here is the real price of the assurances of the Italian mafia in "love and friendship to the grave." If my memory serves me right, Berlusconi once "got along" with the GDP ...
Italian individual with limited social responsibility.

[GREG68]

UAZ-Patriot also gave him GDP

[hohol95]

Will he give money for the construction of a nuclear power plant, or will he screw up everything with Moroccan underage girls again ???

[fuel oil]

There remains a "trifle". To build a nuclear power plant, preferably near Etna or Vesuvius, several terminals for receiving LNG, is also not a cheap pleasure and a bunch of windmills, solar panels and other "green gadgets" ... Just let spent batteries, windmills and other bells and whistles be buried on the territory of the country-boot.

[hohohol]

Berlusconi also calls on the current Italian authorities to invest in renewable energy, as well as in the construction of nuclear power plants, and only after that raise the issue of refusing gas from Russia.

So that's where the dog is buried! He will apparently act as a general contractor there. And then I already thought that his cuckoo went to old age.

[Alexey RA]

Quote: hohohol

He also talked about recycling. And who is in charge of garbage collection in Italy? That's right - the same non-state structure, in relations with which this politician was previously accused.

[Kesha1980]

When I read about the activities of the "greens" in renewable energy, I immediately remember:

Two years ago, the Scots published a report showing that over 20 years of wind energy in their country, 14 million trees have been cut down in order to supply wind turbines. Wood in exchange for generators is a rather strange deal, isn't it, especially if you consider that it's all for the good of nature. Such a strange blessing. But now the spaces where the forest does not hold back moisture are easy prey for any natural disasters. And the rivers are getting shallow. Who is guilty? Well, of course, global warming, and not endless human greed under very correct slogans.

Forward! To new landscapes!

[rocket757]

At the same time, he added that before disconnecting from Russian gas, the authorities should take care of sources that could replace it. The politician believes that Italy should create LNG terminals and waste-to-energy plants.

Is there a translation problem or did the journalists hear that?
If he said so, the flag is between the rolls and forward with the song.

[NG inform]

Yes, international trade is a terrible thing, I agree. Forward to the meat on holidays.

[evgen1221]

Are they being pollinated with psychotropic drugs? Or put kilograms on the menu. What do they think that, like (weakening) the Russian Federation by the war with the Sumerians, they will kick out all of them in white with brown spots for an easy walk? So no one has canceled Yao at all, and for everything from them (good), in principle, we don’t care about their civilians, ours are not there in commercial quantities, and our people have somewhat changed their views on humanism towards Europe.

[hohol95]

This "newspaper king" back in 2008 tried to "break through" the resumption of nuclear energy in Italy. But the Japanese, with their Fukushima, again frightened the Italians, as the USSR once did at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant.
In June 2011, the "shoemakers" held a referendum and sent Berlusconi's ideas "to the closet"!

[Two]

Let them turn off! Promka is barely alive, they live off handouts from the EU! Smart Italians, for the most part, earn money abroad. A kind of pasta Moldova ...

[valentine light]

Let Senor Berlusconi give up natural gas from Russia for distillations with the Czechs ... :)

Quote: "...do away with addiction, which gives us obvious problems."

- Start with a "pleasant" "dependence" on American expensive LNG.

Europe has never considered Russia equal.
And we should not think so - Russia is better and fairer!

[Seamaster]

[quote Before disconnecting from Russian gas, the authorities should take care of sources that could replace it. The politician believes that Italy should create LNG terminals and waste-to-energy plants.

Before I send the Pension Fund to hell and refuse my pension, I need to create five large companies with a net income of 10 billion rubles a year from each, get 20 percent of Gazprom shares, invest in the construction of a beer pipeline from the nearest brewery, insert both of my cats have golden teeth at the expense of Nabiulina. And all - in spite of you know who.

[Eug]

Apart from nuclear power plants and LNG, there is no real alternative to replace pipeline supplies, and even then not soon. And again - 99,9% that both types of fuel will be of Russian origin.

[north 2]

it should have long been understood that the obligatory smile for any reason of all liberals and the Western elite in particular is just a rehearsed disguised grin. Although psychiatrists insist that smiling for no reason is a sign of foolishness.
So where should Russia send Berlusconi and his ilk? In the dressing room, or to a psychiatrist?

[Arkady007]

Druzhban Berlusconi could not say that.

[GNM]

...Italians need to stop importing Russian energy resources. Moreover, Rome must interrupt gas supplies from Russia to Italy faster than Moscow does...

[Ratmir_Ryazan]

Berlusconi is a populist and mediocrity, it is not surprising that Italy is all in debt and on the verge of a crisis.

[Alexey RA]

The politician believes that Italy should create LNG terminals and waste-to-energy plants.

He-he-he ... Berlusconi is in his repertoire - taking into account the fact that certain non-state structures are in charge of garbage in Italy, in relations with which Silvio is constantly accused.

[acetophenone]

I think this is a pretty clever statement. In the spirit of Schweik.

Just now: Gazprom shut down the only operating turbine at SP-1 , something wrong notes appeared in the operation of the unit . Siemens! To the barrier!

[iouris]

We can assume that SP-1 is completely stopped, because the Rolls-Royce turbines. Britannia.

[Vasyan1971]

At the same time, he added that before disconnecting from Russian gas, the authorities should take care of sources that could replace it. The politician believes that Italy should create LNG terminals and waste-to-energy plants.

And how does this fit with

Rome must interrupt gas supplies from Russia to Italy faster than Moscow does.

? And also to build nuclear power plants. Three is better than five.

[Sasha from Uralmash]

Looks like the Americans grabbed pasta tightly by the testicles! I already forgot how to breathe.

[alebdun2000]

You don't get it, he's trolling everyone. Now, to say this is in line with the times, but only electoral clowns can believe in doing it. How much money is needed to build an LNG terminal? And the nuclear power plant? And where do you get the fuel for it and where do you dump the waste?

[Volder]

I didn’t understand something: what problems does Russian gas cause? Is the presence of gas a problem? What did this crazy old man mean?

[avdkrd]

Berlusconi seemed to be sane. Decided to earn points from the State Department?

[Kapany3]

Am I the only one who read the text of the news to the end? Judging by the comments, yes, it's just me. And I am disappointed with the level of commentators. If the text is not clear, it is better to keep silent - you will look smarter.
It was subtle trolling. I applaud Silvio.
