The majority that supports the Draghi government split on the issue of nuclear energy.
Lega, Forza Italia and Italia Viva are recently relaunching the need for Italy to return to atomic energy, while Pd, Movimento 5 Stelle and Leu are against, faithful to the mandate given in 1987 and then in 2011 by the referendums with which the Italians said no to the possibility of developing new plants on the national territory.
The vexata quaestio , however, is back in the news, with the Northern League leader Matteo Salvini who also said he was also ready to promote a new referendum question precisely for Italy's return to nuclear power, seen as a possible deterrent to the continuous increase in bills .
For his part, Giuseppe Conte, president of the M5S, asked the executive to "take note" that the party with the largest parliamentary group of the majority - the 5 Stars - is against nuclear power, even the clean one, and wants that Italy opposes the choice of the EU to include it among sustainable sources.
Minister Roberto Cingolani said he was in favor of research on clean nuclear power, specifying, however, that Italy must focus on natural gas, after having closed its nuclear power plants. But Salvini asks for specific commitments from Draghi.
"Axis Pd-5Stelle to slow down the country's development and make Italians pay the most expensive bills in Europe. There are now 542 active reactors in the world, over 100 only in Europe, over 50 only in France: Draghi con chi sta ? With the past or with the future? ", The former Minister of the Interior asked himself and polemically on social media.
