The anti-price increase measures on fuels approved by the Draghi government, the tensions in the M5s and the ceremony for the ‘non-marriage’ of Berlusconi and Fascina. These are the issues on the political pages of the newspapers on newsstands today.
The Corriere della Sera
“The EU acts on energy and defense”. Draghi, axis with Sanchez and Costa. Petrol and gas, so the price-cutters. Scenarios: Economy, more pessimistic Italians. Three out of four reduce consumption. M5s, troubled elected officials and empty coffers. And there is still no vote on the leader. Today “the union” between Silvio and Marta. But the party divides the family.
The Republic
Tax on super-profits versus expensive bills and discounts on gasoline. Decree worth 4.4 billion. Aid to refugees: money also for those who are guests of families. Pro-Russians in Parliament: “We also invite Putin”. Notice of ‘eviction’ across Casellati: the new regulation provides for distrust. Interview with Minister Garavaglia: “500 million? The extension of the Green Pass will cost us even more”.
The print
4 billion anti-price increase shield: “Energy groups pay”. Aid to businesses and families: funds from the extra-profits of the giants. Donat-Cattin, Christian Democratic letters. The foundation founded thirty years ago to commemorate the politician preserves over 15 thousand documents, including tickets and correspondence.
Daily fact
Another 4.5 billion to reduce the expensive bills and gasoline. 25 cents cut on fuel for 1 month and corporate tax credits. No deficit: “We will tax the extra revenues”. Conversation with Giuseppe Conte: “Excise, the cut is of little use. Now it is absurd to spend on weapons”.
The messenger
Silvio and Marta almost married. For her, Kate’s stylist. Today the ‘non-marriage’ party between Berlusconi and his partner Fascina. New 5S grain: too many absences in the classroom. And Conte now fears for his leadership.
The weather
Lent for petrol. Draghi cuts excise duties by 25 cents but only for 40 days. Hello the Easter holidays but then it will return to market prices. Cingolani: gas cap. The case: he asks Sergio Mattarella for pardon because he wants to go and fight. A Ukrainian detained in Verona, convicted of smuggling, wants to return to his homeland. –
Free
A month of oxygen, that’s what changes. Draghi’s economic measures: gasoline down by 25 cents. Aid on bills financed with the profits of the electricity and gas companies.
The newspaper
War on expensive gasoline, a breakthrough on energy. 4.4 billion in aid from the government. Bills payable in installments in 24 months.
The truth
It is the state who speculates on petrol. Minister Cingolani denounces a price scam and the prosecutor opens an investigation against unknown persons. But in reality the culprit is known: without excise duties, fuel in Italy would have undergone lower increases than in other European nations. We are among the worst thanks to the tax authorities.
