The center-right opens the construction site on the Maneuver. The League focuses on pensions

On to the next one financial maneuver the construction site opens in the center-right. The majority, with the resolution in the Chamber on flexibility on energy and the debate on Safestart putting The first Tasselli of the debate on the last one Budget law of the legislature. They say in the center-right that the recent summit (Tuesday) with the prime minister Giorgia Melonithe Minister of Economy Giancarlo Giorgetti and the deputy prime ministers Antonio Tajani e Matteo Salvini ended with the prospect of setting an ad hoc appointment for the resumption of parliamentary work.

The maneuver and the electoral law agitate the majority

Because, as one confides authoritative exponent from the Legaif there are now greater margins, space will have to be found for a ‘financial’ initiative with an electoral vocation. A parliamentary source explains that in the via Bellerio party they have already begun planning the next objective: intervening on pensions. And a plan is being studied for an early exit at 64.

The stages towards the maneuver

It is too early to talk about what measures will be implemented Document Of programming Of budget should be sent to Bruxelles by October 15th. And before any evaluation we will have to wait until September 22nd, when the final certification on the report will arrive deficit/Pills of 2025, if it remains at 3.1% as in the preliminary estimate, the EU infringement procedure opened from 2024 will not be able to be concluded early. Otherwise another scenario would open up, with greater financial space available.

The comparison on Safe

The path will be complex, as demonstrated by the majority debate on Safewhich yesterday led to the modification of the part on the possible adhesion to defense loans after the League’s push to revise the text with the annotation of a possible use of resources for the national security.

GDP estimates

But if it is evident, as a ‘big’ from the centre-right reflects, that Giorgetti will continue to follow the line of prudence on public finances, “It has done so in recent years, why should it change now?”, the source’s question, it is equally true that it was the head of the Economy who highlighted the estimates released byParliamentary Budget Office which revised its forecast upwards to +0.9%.

Resources in the maneuver

The numbers of budget law they are not quantifiable, the deputy minister at the Mef is quick to point out, Maurizio Leo. But in the majority a senior manager ventures a prediction: “This year we can get to thirty-forty billion. Then we will have to see how to spend the 14 billion that the EU leaves us with flexibility.”

The priorities in the center-right

FdI will insist on the need to cut the tax pressure for the middle class, with the aim of bringing the rate to 33% for incomes up to 60 thousand euros.

The search for coverage

Giorgetti will go, as happened with the extension of the excise duty cut, in search of resources, the party in via Bellerio has already pointed the finger at the banks. “But”, explains another member of the executive, “it’s all still very premature, it will certainly have to be an electoral ploy…”.

The opposition: “We want clear data”

The oppositions in the debate on flexibility they ask the government for clarity.
