The opposition attacks the Government on pensions: "Betray your promises"

A “coup” on the pensions that the Democratic Party he managed to repel. When the reaction of opposition forces to the ‘rip’ in the majority on maneuver reaches its peak, Elly Schlein calls a ‘flying’ press conference on what happened in the Senate last night. The dem leader enters the Ex Difesa room, together with the president of the dem senators, Francesco Boccia, and the front lines of the Democratic Party in the Budget Commission, Beatrice Lorenzin and Daniele Manca. The faces are marked by night marathon.

“I find this crazy attempted coup on pensions because you don’t mess with i savings of someone who has worked their entire life. The highest is consumed on pensions betrayal of electoral promises of Meloni”, thunders the dem leader. The premise is a video, projected before the conference, in which Giorgia Meloni he claimed a pension at sixty years of age and 41 years of contributions. Last night, facts showed a different approach, leading Schlein to observe: “La majority broke down“.

The pension reform mess

Francesco Boccia he assured: “We did everything we could to make it clear that they were there errors to correct“. Despite the suggestions, the government presented a pension reform which, according to Boccia, was “completely razed” after three days, despite raising the retirement age. This “big mess” had a political implication, perceived as a direct attack on the Minister of Economy to the secretary of his party. The reference is to the rule on the extension of floating window for access to early retirement and to reduce the burden of redemption of the degree for early retirement purposes.

Government crisis and opposition reactions

On the issue of the redemption of the degree, the government intervened by suppressing the text and finding coverage in the funds of the MEF. On the sliding windows, however, the executive announced that no new texts would be forthcoming to eliminate all the social security rules. At that point, the Lega announced his vote against the entire 3.5 billion package. Claudio Borghirapporteur of the budget law for the League, explained: “With even a formal extension of theretirement age we don’t vote for that article.”

The reaction of oppositions it focused on the Minister of Economy. Schlein stated that Giorgetti“disheartened, he withdrew his proposal”, but the increase in the retirement age is already underway and will increase for 96 percent of workers, including women law enforcement agencies. Antonio Misiani (Pd) spoke of a “dismissed” and “publicly dumped” minister. Critical voices have multiplied: Riccardo Magi (Più Europa) called on Giorgetti to resign; Carlo Calenda spoke of the government’s “psychedelic state”; Nicola Fratoianni he called the executive “shattered.”

Giuseppe Conte’s intervention and the PD’s appeal

Giuseppe Conte (M5s) spoke of the “circus” of the majority and of a “piecemeal” government that had to take back some of the “shameful rules” on redemption of the degree and on extending the time to receive the check. Conte commented that Melons “she pretends to fall from the pear tree, she always unloads on others” and says she hasn’t updated herself, “as if the fate of Italian families and businesses didn’t concern her”.

Schlein claimed that the PD managed “to partially stop the Meloni’s coup on pensions“, but he recalled that there is still the maneuverincrease in the retirement age. The dem leader launched an appeal: “We ask the majority to vote on the amendment presented with the other oppositions to stop this increase”. The risk, concludes Schlein, is that the work on the maneuver will go beyond the expected times: “Theprovisional exercise It’s just one step away.”
