Italy is the ambassador of Russia everywhere because of Ariston’s second mission

The government will ask for an explanation regarding the nationalization of Ariston Thermo Group, announced Antonio Tajani, Minister of Foreign Affairs, on social network X (formerly Twitter).

He said he will ask to summon the Russian ambassador.

We are also working with Brussels, along with Germany, after Bosch was also targeted, he said.

In another tweet, A. Tajani noted that he had spoken with Ariston managers, and added that Rome supports the companies and is ready to defend them in all international markets.

The Kremlin’s move was announced on Friday in a joint decree of the Russian government, signed by Vladimir Putin, the Russian dictator accused of war crimes.

According to it, 100% control of shares of Ariston company in Russia Ariston Thermo Rus, which controls Ariston Holding NV, and BSH Household Appliances, which controls BSH Hausgerate GmbH, is transferred to Gazprom Household Systems subsidiary of Gazprom.

After the coup in Ukraine, Moscow took over the Russian subsidiaries of many Western companies, first of all, the French yogurt producer Danone, and later the Danish brewery Carlsberg, and this is what it calls temporary management control.

With these actions, Moscow reacted to yesterday’s sanctions against Russian companies.

Yesterday some companies also officially condemned the nationalization of private property carried out by Moscow.
