On the 17th, Italian Prime Minister Meloni criticized the EU headquarters's office building renovation plan costing about 1 billion euros, saying that the plan “is not a priority European investment project at this stage.” According to reports, the European Union recently considered large-scale renovation of the Eustace Lipseus building located at the EU headquarters in Brussels, the capital of Belgium. Speaking in the Italian House of Representatives on the 17th, Meloni said that the plan “is not our priority European investment project at this stage.” She pointed out that if loans were to be used to pay for the project, the estimated cost would be as high as 1.39 billion euros, so Italy has joined several EU member states to request further evaluation of this plan.
