Ukraine war threatens Italy's 'social moorings' - Lamorgese

(ANSA) - ROME, APR 12 - The knock-on effects of the war in Ukraine risk creating major social problems in Italy, Interior Minister Luciana Lamorgese warned on Tuesday.
    "The situation of uncertainty on the economic and social front that the war opened, in part due to the effect on the energy market and the supply of raw materials, could have a major impact on industrial production, economic growth, employment levels and, therefore, on the country's social moorings," Lamorgese said at a ceremony for the 170th anniversary of the State Police force.
    She stressed that "democracies must not accept this attempted cultural and political move backwards" represented by Moscow's invasion of Ukraine.
    "On the contrary, they must create the conditions so the consequences of the war can be managed, limiting the possible social impact of this new crisis," she said. (ANSA).
