Democratic Party (PD) Secretary Elly Schlein has rebuked Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni for allegedly misrepresenting tourism statistics, citing union reports of a 15% decline in beach visitors and consumer group Altroconsumo’s analysis of a 34% surge in holiday costs. Schlein declared Meloni should “answer to Italian families whose wages are too low for vacations” rather than criticize opposition figures. She further condemned the government for blocking a minimum wage adoption and neglecting to address Italy’s status as having Europe’s most expensive energy bills. Schlein’s remarks responded directly to Meloni’s social media post accusing the PD leader and “certain opposition” members of distorting tourism data.
意政要对峙旅游业数据争议
August 12, 2025
意大利民主党秘书埃莉·施莱因回应总理焦尔吉娅·梅洛尼的指责，双方就旅游业统计数据产生分歧。梅洛尼此前称施莱因及”某些反对派”散布旅游业虚假信息。 施莱因援引海滩经营者协会数据称，今夏游客数量同比下降15%，消费者协会则指出旅游成本上涨34%。她表示：”总理应关注那些因薪资过低无力度假的意大利家庭，而非回应我个人。” 施莱因指出，现政府既未推行最低工资制度，也未有效遏制高于欧洲平均水平的能源价格。此番言论将经济政策辩论与旅游业数据争议相关联。
