ROMA (WSI) – More than a draft agreement, for some it is seen as a gauntlet to the European Union capable of sending the financial markets into a tailspin. Let's talk about the contract that Lega e Five Star Movement have developed and which they will soon bring to the attention of the Head of State, thus giving the green light to the new government.
Compared to the version leaked byHuffington Post in the new contract, thorny references disappear, such as the creation of an exit mechanism from the euro and the request to Mario Draghi of the ECB to cancel i 250 billions of debt for Italy.
However, some key points remain that could damage relations with Brussels. Not to mention that the coverage to be found for all these measures will be considerable and the budget constraints do not allow much room for manoeuvre.
Some points of the programmatic design still require some reflection, like them flat tax rates, the proposal to establish a regional Cie, the reform of the prescription, a law on mosques, up to the commitment to suspend executive works and re-discuss the Tav project in its entirety.
Instead, the chapter dedicated to vaccines enters, to meet anti-vax demands. The government plan also provides that one can exit the world of work once reaching "quota 100" (sum of years and contributions). Among the certain points there is therefore the overcoming of Fornero law. Come? Settling down 5 billions of euros to facilitate the exit from the labor market of categories currently excluded.
Judging by the draft, the new government intends to launch constitutional reforms with the introduction of the mandate constraint and also the possibility of deficit reforms. In the latest version of the government agreement, the two-year limit for the disbursement of the loan also disappears citizen's income.
The two leaders still have the final say, but there is optimism. The name that will be put forward to lead the government will also be important to convince the Quirinale. It now seems certain that a five-star member will take up residence in Palazzo Chigi. According to the latest rumours, I'm among the five names candidates for the premiership: Di Maio himself, Bonafede, Fraccaro, Vittorio Crimi (former leader of the Senate) and Spadafora. The hypothesis of a relay between the political leader of the Movement seems to have completely disappeared 5 Stars and Matteo Salvini.
Salvini himself could reserve the leadership of the Ministry of the Interior. Among other names for prominent ministries, the Farnesina could go to the diplomat Giampiero Massolo and the Ministry of Justice to Bonafede, while the Northern League member Giancarlo Giorgetti would go as undersecretary with responsibility for services. Finally the Ministry of Economy and that of EU policies could be entrusted to technicians.
