The payment cards for the service were blocked by a group of Italian and American employees at NATO Air Force Base in Aviano, northern Italy, and were managed by the US military. There was a dollar left on each invoice. Behind the decision is the US government’s Department of Efficiency, led by Elon Musk.
Approximately 60 civilian employees in Fruli’s most base shopping office were blocked the most, as reported in the local edition of the Italian newspaper on Friday.
Everyone has received information from the US Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) that the card will be suspended for 30 days.
The purpose of these activities was explained to be to improve transparency in federal purchasing in the NATO database. Each transaction is recorded by a centralized computer system. The number of cards will be reduced.
