Summit at Palazzo Chigi on the maneuver: measures on businesses return with a maxi-amendment

After last night’s chaos, with theLegawho threatened not to vote on the amendment from3.5 billion from the governmentwith measures for businesses considering the presence of a squeeze in two points onearly pensionsla premier Giorgia Melonireturning from the European Council which decided, also at the urging of Italy, to abandon the path of using Russian assets and to converge on the solution ofcommon EU debtto financially support Ukraine, the dossier of thebudget law.

Calling togetheremergency summit at Palazzo Chigiwith the deputy prime ministers, minister Giorgetti, deputy minister Leo and the head of relations with Parliament Ciriani. Hence the decision: the exit strategy identified for a new decree to be brought to the table of the Council of Ministers on Monday was abandoned with the aim ofspeed up the measureswhich had been removed.

The new maxi-amendment and the conflict over pensions

Dai fondi Six a Transition 5.0the measurements will come with a newmaxi-amendmentremoved from the part on pensions. The prime minister would not have liked the incident which occurred in , underlined parliamentary sources from the majoritySenate Committeeand would then have asked the owner of the MefGiancarlo Giorgettiabsent from the greeting ceremony at the Quirinale, to resolve the issue ofmeasures on businessesand to find thecover for this. “It was decided that it is more correct to make a new amendment on issues that the Commission has already seen in any case”, announced Minister Ciriani at Palazzo Madama.

Financial coverage and political tensions

The new covers? No further support from the banks, “they will be within theINPS plans e nella remodulation of some investments“, specified the Minister for Relations with Parliament. “We had approved the rules that had been agreed upon, everything was going smoothly”, explains a representative of the League. In the meantime, however, the opposition brought up the Minister of Economy Giancarlo Giorgetti and Fdi asked for an account of theinternal tensionsat the party in via Bellerio. While also the deputy prime minister of FIAntonio Tajanispoke of “a misunderstanding in the League” professing “optimism” about the agreement to be found in the majority, the push came toavoid slippingand new tensions.

The times of the maneuver in the courtroom

The continuation of the Commission’s work to arrive at the mandate for the rapporteur could now lead to onepostponement of the maneuver’s arrival in the Senatewith the works that could last until the morning ofDecember 24th. The Senate offices will need 36-48 hours to compose the text for the Chamber, therefore it is unlikely that in the event of a mandate to the speaker tomorrow afternoon the measure could be ready on Monday morning at 9.30. And the prime minister, according to reports, wanted to see all themeasures that will be included in the maxi-amendmentto avoid further fibrillations but above all to ensure that, despite the withdrawal of the pension measures, the other interventions initially planned are not in any wayresized.

The prime minister, according to majority parliamentary sources, would therefore have underlined her irritation and the need for similar episodes to never happen again. “If the League always wants to act as a counterpoint, then the consequences will be drawn”, a leading exponent of the party from via della Scrofa cut short this morning. In short, the objective of the summit convened at the government headquarters by the Prime Minister was that of clarification but also of ‘reuniting’ the majority to avoid further rifts and escapes forward. “Precisely on the day in which Italy had great success due to the mediation found in Europe, it is not possible to divide in this way”, underlines another ‘big’ of Fratelli d’Italia. Meanwhile, the opposition goes on the attack on the management of the budget law, with the Democratic Party in the lead asking for clarifications directly from the head of the MEF Giancarlo Giorgetti committed to closing the covers on measures on businesses.

“If he is no longer able to act as Minister of Economy, he should resign”, the thrust of the leader of the dem group in the Senate, Francesco Boccia. “The coup attempted on the sly on the Maneuver is very serious because we don’t joke about the lifelong sacrifices of those who have worked. The highest betrayal of the Meloni government’s electoral promises is taking place on pensions”, said the secretary of the Democratic Party Elly Schlein“the majority broke down due to their divisions, they attempted a coup de main but we managed to stop them”. “I really think that Meloni and Salvini should be ‘ripped out’ for life. In the meantime, however the amendment soap opera ends, Giorgetti has lost face”, stated the leader of Italia viva, Matteo Renzi.

“Toc Toc! Where has Confindustria gone”, observed the president of the M5s Giuseppe Conte“the only thing left standing is that sort of forced levy which provides for a tax of 0.5% from 2028 which then becomes 1% on each invoice, unless companies adhere to the composition with creditors. A blackmail on which they want to generate revenue of around 1.5 billion a year”. “I think that Salvini is really very unscrupulous and is trying to use measures whose existence he knows perfectly well. He lets them out so he can then attack them. If I were Meloni and Tajani, I would give him a good earful,” underlined the Action leader Carlo Calenda.
