Understanding the maneuver, taxes are shifted but the government is fibrilla

Among threats of government crisis, furious clashes and a tug of war to the last cent, the majority signs what should be the final agreement on the maneuver. The plastic tax of 50 cents per kilo slips in July, the sugar tax starts in October, 65 million arrive for the fire brigade. The agreement, which according to some estimates brings the total value of the maneuver to 32 billion, comes at the end of river meetings that go on in fits and starts for fifteen hours at Palazzo Chigi. At ten o'clock in the evening Giuseppe Conte and Roberto Gualtieri go down to the press room to announce "the complete agreement", including "the details": "Nobody will say any more that this is the government of taxes", says the premier. From Italy alive Matteo Renzi, who had come to ventilate the crisis of government, confirms the "compromise" but already announces the next battle: "In 2020 we will cancel plastic and sugar tax". "So the government does not go on for much longer", they repeat from the Pd.
The premier in the evening goes to the Quirinale to report on what happens to the president of the Republic Sergio Mattarella. An "interlocutory" meeting, they say from the Hill. "A quick update" without "no emphasis on keeping the majority", says Conte. The attention of the head of state to public accounts is known: the priority objective, parliamentary sources observe, now can only be the approval of the budget law.
In the majority there is some tension not only on the measures but also on the "compressed" process of the maneuver: the times are so tight that the changes will probably all be concentrated in the Senate. The Chamber is in danger of not touching the ball: the opposition is already protesting and threatening appeals, the same majority on the point is split. But Conte and Gualtieri explain that, with a government born in September, perhaps better could not be done for now: "We will improve next year". The parliamentary storm will pass, the Democratic Party explains: it is the political tensions and the tendency of Iv and M5s to "worry about" continually reviving "and" undoing the agreements reached every time "to worry about the coming months. The last negotiation on the maneuver, which will lead to an increase in fees on slot machine winnings, lasts all day. And it also leads to limiting the increase in IRES on the profits of public concessionaires: it will cover motorways and airports, not mineral waters or telecommunications and electricity (with the risk of rising bills). The details will arrive in the coming days but up until the last time by the majority they tell of problems on the coverage and on the budget balances.
Gualtieri brings in dowry between 350 and 400 million new resources but the government allies spend the day fighting over how to use them: the screams are heard repeatedly outside the room where they are gathered. Iv calls for the abolition of sugar and plastic tax altogether and from here the clash with the Democratic Party begins, which refuses to cancel a measure such as the one on plastic that goes in the direction of protecting the environment and on which Gualtieri himself has opened a table with companies. "Say no just because you don't want to give it to Renzi," they accuse from Iv. "Better to use the extra resources to increase the tax cut on work", the Dems replied. The M5s with Laura Castelli asked that "the funds be increased for the Fire Brigade". The words become heavy. The Democratic Party accuses Iv of wanting to do a favor "to multinationals like Coca Cola". "The Democratic Party has a Soviet vision of the economy," replies Luigi Marattin from Iv. At stake there are limited resources after all, on a maneuver of over 30 billion. But in the background, in the background, there is the same government. Renzi in a TV interview makes the list of disputes "between Pd and M5s", from the Mes to justice, which promise to hold the discussion for a long time to come. Then he throws out a sentence that immediately bounces between the benches of the deputies committed to the House to vote on the fiscal decree (which passes with 248 yes, 87 no): "I would not go to the vote, it would be a mistake - Renzi declares - but if they force us I will do it. I have no fear whatsoever. " "We're all ready - Orlando hard-nosed replica - We need to know if it's useful for the country". The theme, the Dems add, is that M5s and Iv spend their time demolishing every understanding: the rope is likely to break.
Matteo Salvini, Silvio Berlusconi and Giorgia Meloni in unison attack: "The majority liquefies, while proposing a disastrous maneuver based on taxes and handcuffs". (HANDLE).
