Luigi Bisignani at IL TEMPO: Matteo's secret plan

Image results for the man who whispered to the powerfulL’“man who whispers to the powerful” expresses his opinion in one of his usual Sunday letters to the editor of The weather, second newspaper of the capital. The reader will wonder why these sporadic spaces are given to those who are extremely distant from our positions in many respects. Well, after meeting him, the reason is easy to say: l’ “man who whispers to the powerful” can say things, sometimes, more interesting than others. No offense to those who don't whisper anything to anyone… On the contrary…(N.d.R.)
Of Luigi Bisignani
Dear director, Matteo Salvini, like a lion in the savannah, sniffs the air and prepares the next attack to conquer more and more territory. The first moves went better than expected and now that it has placed the immigration front at the center of the European debate, among other things, ridiculing Macron and taking Merkel's applause, can handle “from above” relations with his allies, Forza Italia and Brothers of Italy, who, in order not to be destroyed, will do everything not to turn him against each other. The Movement 5 position, weakened for a number of reasons, first of all the internal struggles between the Grillo-Di Battista-Fico group and the Di Maio-Bonafede-Casaleggio group that have been tearing it apart since they began to smell the scent of power, loses more and more consensus. With a savannah with such an arid landscape, the lion Salvini is secretly preparing his plan B: it will be taken, in one shot, those disappointed by Berlusconi, of Meloni but above all a part of that Grillino electorate who can no longer tolerate that summary justice and facade environmentalism that blocks investments and new infrastructures.

Italy and France are at war (and migrants are victims of a game bigger than them)

The issue of the Aquarius ship is only part of a broader clash between Rome and Paris regarding the destabilization of Libya, the military yards and the Tav. A conflict in which migrants have nothing to do, but they are victims of a clash between two mirror-image and opposing realpolitiks. (Of Alessio Postiglione, LAWS)

Seeing what a man Macron is? Orgoglio e dignità dell'Italia, finally

Of Marcello Foa
Seeing what a man Macron is? Pride and dignity of Italy, finally
Source: Marcello Foa
But if the spokesperson for En marche!, the party of French President Macron, judges Italy “vomitevole”, because it shouldn't be said? Because some of the mainstream press feels the need to tone it down, maybe even hide, as if the reputation of France had to be defended? Today that title appeared on some sites, then disappeared, then reappeared; others have drowned the epithet inside the piece.
All this, journalistically, it doesn't make sense. The insult was there, sure enough there was, very heavy. And although Macron himself then partially corrected the aim, judging the Italian government “cynical and irresponsible”, the case is serious.
The Italian press must not be embarrassed, who if anything should be indignant. It should be the French because it is not the Italian position that is unsustainable but theirs. Of that France that closed the ports even a year ago; which brutally rejects immigrants at the Ventimiglia border, without compassion even for children and pregnant women, and even allows himself to trespass with his gendarmes into Italian territory.
The hypocrisy of Macron and his party is flagrant. And their macroscopic double standard gives the character of this European Union, never supportive in times of need and which sees Italy as a country to be exploited, to humiliate, to buy.
That country, but, thanks to Salvini and the Lega government- 5 position, now he says no and raises his head with pride. He demands respect, does not accept lessons from Paris. And he won't go back. Read More

In the Def stop VAT increase, resources from tax amnesties and spending cuts

In the Def stop to VAT increase, resources from tax amnesties and spending cutsReport Wall Street italia
Of Mariangela Tessa

018, Of Mariangela Tessa
Stop the increases in VAT and excise duties and propose the new public finance framework "quickly"., in compliance with the "European commitments on the 2018-2019 balances" but identifying the "priority interventions" in line with the programmatic indications of the speech for trust. This is what we read in the draft majority resolution on Def, which will be in the Chamber on 19 June.
Without interventions, the VAT increase will come into force from January 1st 2019, passing from 22% al 24,2%. According to rumors it is a 'light' version, at the moment the 'favorite', but it is not yet completely excluded that it could be integrated with some programmatic indications.
But how to avoid the VAT increase? According to reports The Republic:

“It's about catching up 12,4 billion to replace the so-called “escape clause” with fresh resources. The measures should be divided into four directions and follow, for now, the traditional trajectory of Italy's economic policy. In addition to spending reviews and cutting tax breaks, two difficult terrains on which many governments have run aground, part of the resources should come from the fight against tax evasion. The new ingredient will be the so-called “fiscal peace”: in fact a re-edition of the scrapping which should concern Irpef, IRES and contributions Inps. The operation, which will affect businesses and families, should be scaled with higher discounts for the lowest levels of tax debts".
Then there is the issue of flexibility on the deficit, raising the bar to 1.5% of Pil compared to the current forecast of 0,8%. Hence the need to address the issue at a European level, probably already in the Eurogroup and in the Ecofin planned on 21 and the 22 in Luxembourg.

As for instead the increase in excise duties (Petrol prices in Italy have reached the point of breaking through 2 euros per liter in some geographical areas) il Codacons has requested urgent intervention by the new M5S and Lega executive, which had declared in the government contract that it wanted to eliminate the anachronistic components of the excise duties on petrol.

“The Government had promised an intervention on the excise duties on fuels, but so far no measures in this regard have been announced – he declared Carlo Rienzi, president of Codacons – . Salvini and Di Maio must intervene urgently because increases and speculation on fuel have negative consequences on the entire national economy. Just think that without the burden of taxes, Italy falls from second to 17th place in Europe due to high diesel prices”.

Migrants, selfish and divided Europe will make Salvini triumph

Of Maurizio Blondet
Clash between Salvini and the Tunisian government over the words of the Minister of the Interior.
It's a shame that the Tunisian illegal immigrants themselves confess to being ex-prisoners who were 'pardoned' and loaded onto boats:

Tunisian prisoners pay 1.000 euros to board the ship to Italy. This is told by a young witness who from Ventimiglia is waiting for a passer to take him to France. Because I'm already in Ventimiglia.
He shows the Matrix correspondent the videos of his trip, then those of the English ship that saved him and brought him to Messina. When asked if the story of the pardon that opened the prisons in his country, allowing many criminals to arrive in Italy, is true, he answers yes. At least 2700 prisoners released in the last three months in Tunisia. Read More
