“Yes, we pay in Rubles” – “No, we do not pay in Rubles”: World-class figure of Cingolani and Draghi

When one becomes the servant of two masters, like the Italian government, one can only end up in farce. Today the minister of "Ecological transition", that is, of artfully created poverty, Cingolani has surpassed himself.

The theme is always that of the "payment in rubles" of Russian gas, which, as we have explained dozens of times, is NOT a payment in Rubles, but in Euros on a counter Gazprombank which is then converted, upon payment, into Rubles. This morning the following interview with Minister Cingolani is published in the online European politics magazine Politico.eu :

I think at the moment the understanding is not complete from the point of view of the legal issues and implications. I think it would be good, at least for a few months, to allow companies to go ahead and pay in rubles, while we understand the legal framework and the implications , " he told POLITICO, adding that he wants " a quick and very clear ruling from the European Commission " .

What he says already marks a bit of confusion, but at least there is a willingness to pay for supplies.

Afternoon and then the disc is turned on the "Side B" of the Italian position, shown when they pulled their ears from Brussels:

" Minister Cingolani has made it clear that there will be no payments in rubles " . Thus the EU Commissioner for Energy Simson, after the extraordinary EU Council on energy. The ministry had already denied that Cingolani, in an interview, had opened to a temporary payment of gas in rubles.

The epic palta figure has reached the international level, where Italy appeared as the "soft underbelly" of the tough European coalition against Russia, if ever this coalition ever existed. Even ZEROHEDGE has reported it on its website, indicating that the Italian government is not to be trusted. After all, the embarrassment of Draghi and his companions is evident: on the one hand they have to take orders from Brussels and Washington, on the other hand they have to warn the M5s that they must pretend to be a pacifist. So the weapons are sent, but the lists are secreted. Perhaps not to show how poor we are, especially moral ones.

The final comment can only be that of the last Italian journalist:
