Meloni asks Brussels for fiscal flexibility amid energy crisis

Original: Meloni seeks EU fiscal relief as energy crisis inflates Italy's spending Italian PM Giorgia Meloni wrote to European Com

Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni has written to European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen requesting flexibility in EU fiscal rules, arguing that Middle East turmoil has driven energy prices sharply higher and inflated Italy's spending. The appeal puts Rome at odds with strict budget discipline and reopens debate over whether the EU should ease deficit targets for countries hit by external shocks.

Why now: Rising energy prices are straining Italy's budget, prompting a high-stakes clash over EU fiscal rules.
