Italy’s Prime Minister Mario Draghi has drawn ridicule for saying that Italians can either choose peace in Ukraine or use their air conditioners over the summer.
At a press conference in Rome following a cabinet meeting on Wednesday, Prime Minister Draghi said that he believed an embargo on Russian gas by the European Union was unlikely, but that Italy would “follow the decisions of the European Union.” However, the former European Central Bank boss called on his countrymen to pitch in by limiting their energy usage to keep the price of natural gas lower, thereby keeping Russia’s profits down.
“Do we want to have peace [in Ukraine] or do we want to have the air conditioning on?” the Italian leaderMr Draghi attempted to reassure the public by claiming that Italy — heavily dependent on Russian gas imports — has enough gas reserves to last until October even if Moscow shut off the supply.
