Italian car industry raises its voice against the European Union: Here's why it's planning a protest in Strasbourg

The article discusses concerns raised by Italy's automotive industry association, ANFIA, regarding the European Union's plan to ban the sale of new gasoline and diesel cars by 2035. ANFIA argues that this abrupt transition could threaten over half a million jobs in Europe's automotive sector.

ANFIA president Roberto Vavassori highlights the growing competition from Chinese manufacturers, who are taking away millions of car sales annually, and urges the EU to adopt stronger industrial policies to protect European competitiveness.
