"Mr President, energy means three things: nuclear, oil and gas. Nuclear energy is not possible in all the countries of Europe and is, moreover, 'vivere pericolosamente'.
Oil is controlled by the United States of America: in one way in Iraq, in another way in Saudi Arabia, in another way in Libya and in another way in Venezuela. Which of these countries that has oil is close to Europe? Not one. The game is controlled by the Americans. What does that leave? Gas.
Basically, in our neck of the woods, Russia has the gas. What are our relations with Russia? Our relations with Russia are disappointing, precisely because that is what the Americans want. Did you see what happened with Putin the other day? There is a pipeline ready for signing which does not pass through Asia, which does not pass through Belarus or Ukraine, so that we do not have these vicissitudes and blackmail. It is the Burgas – Alexandroupolis pipeline through Bulgaria and Thrace. Here too the Americans will not let Bulgaria sign. So if we, as Europe, want our energy, if we want gas directly from Russia, why do we not turn on the pressure for this pipeline?
If we want our own oil, there is a great deal in the Aegean. Enough to relieve Europe. Then here too there is the bug called Turkey, controlled by America, which does not allow the oil from the Aegean to be exported."@en1
