The government is testing the budget law: “Flat tax and minimum income not alternatives, but we will keep accounts in order”
Of Chiara Sarra
“We will make Italians smile”. After the majority summit in view of the economic maneuver.
Luigi Di Maio reassures “the markets and above all families with unemployed children and parents who are unable to retire or have grandparents who have a minimum pension”.
“Citizenship income and flat tax are not alternatives”, promised the M5s deputy prime minister, speaking of the measures most dear to the two souls of the government. Just before a Radical Radio he had talked about one “Copernican revolution in spending Italians' money”: “All the available resources are starting to be spent on a country that for years has seen the money go to the banks and instead now it is starting to be spent on the Italians”, he explained. The whole thing – promises – “with a courageous budget law that will keep the accounts in order”: “The objective is to implement economic measures, do not challenge Europe on the accounts”.
The maneuver will still contain – they assure from Palazzo Chigi – all economic issues addressed by the contract. “Citizenship income must be included in the Budget Law, the overcoming of Fornero, aid to businesses”, Di Maio said, “All this is possible if we start changing the paradigm, if we put citizens at the center. Fare citizen's income in Italy it means helping businesses and artisans, because those people who will be the recipients of the income will spend money, she will be trained for new jobs and we will be able to reintegrate her by eliminating a part of poverty in Italy. That is the factor that is bringing us to a social condition where diversity is increasing”.
Matteo Salvini underlines that – pur “not going beyond anything” – the priority objective remains the reform of the Fornero law: “Quota 100 immediately for everyone, not just for equity but to create jobs”, dice. Between the flat tax “it will start from the little ones”, VAT numbers or families.
Also of the same opinion Giuseppe Conte who announced that the work to finalize the maneuver will continue in the coming days:
“We are examining all the details to launch a financial plan that keeps the accounts in order and allows the country to pursue a full economic-social relaunch“, he explained, “Ours will be a maneuver in the name of growth in stability. In particular, we are working on structural reforms in favor of the competitiveness of the country system which will be a qualifying part of the National Reform Plan, Therefore, integral part of the economic maneuver“.
