Claudio Descalzi, CEO of Eni, warns that without Russian gas, Italy risks bankruptcy. Diesel prices have surpassed 2.15 euros per liter, and electricity bills are impacting savings. Descalzi calls for a pragmatic stance on Russian gas.
The claim about Italy's risk of bankruptcy without Russian gas is unsupported by evidence, as the country has diversified its gas supply. Diesel prices are confirmed to have surpassed 2.15 euros per liter as of April 2026. The claim of electricity bills affecting savings is subjective and lacks concrete evidence. Claudio Descalzi's pragmatic stance on Russian gas is supported by statements from recent conferences.
