Italia Viva asked Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte to move the meeting scheduled for today at 1:00 p.m. at Palazzo Chigi with the delegation led by Matteo Renzi as part of the government audit. Minister Teresa Bellanova, party sources explain, “is committed to the Brussels European Council, which must address a strategic issue for Italian food products: the issue of traffic lights.” The meeting with Conte, Italia Viva says, will therefore be carried over to the minister’s return: between tomorrow night and Friday. “On our return we will meet President Conte with the Italia Viva delegation,” explains Bellanova herself on Facebook.

“I have just landed in Brussels for the Agrifish meeting, the Council of European agriculture ministers. Today and tomorrow an important confrontation for Italy. On our return we will meet President Conte with the delegation from Italia Viva”, writes Bellanova.

“Our battle for nutrition labeling continues with determination with a single objective: the right of consumers to transparent and correct information and the defense of Made in Italy and our excellence. Food is much more than an algorithm, as it teaches us. Mediterranean diet. Forward also on transparency and the origin of the raw materials of our food ”, adds Bellanova in reference to the mission in Brussels.

“The meeting is postponed, the presence of Minister Bellanova is essential. She is involved in a European meeting, it is fair to address the issues on the table with the presence of the minister who led the battle” on the Recovery Plan, says Raffaella Paita, deputy of Italia Viva, in Omnibus in La7. “It is a show of great respect for our head of delegation who has faced this battle in all these months, his absence is for institutional reasons, he is committed at the European level to defend our products and our agriculture.” Yesterday, in the meetings that the premier had with M5S and Pd, the reorganization hypothesis lost ground. “For us the reorganization issue does not exist, we reiterate that we are willing to give up our 3 seats. We have to manage 209 billion, it is a very serious issue – says Paita-. The 209 billion should be the condition to improve the country, we want the discussion from a methodological and merit point of view to be discussed with an in-depth study that involves everyone within the majority. “
