"It is a real indecent choice that the government is preparing to make." Thus the general secretary of the CGIL Maurizio Landini comments on the Simplifications decree in an interview with 'La Repubblica' threatening the general strike: "Some of our categories are already ready. We will evaluate it together with CISL and UIL". The government "is wrong. It is clear that if it does not change, we will think about all the necessary forms of mobilization, none excluded". Landini criticizes the "liberalization of subcontracting" and the "tenders to the lowest price" that bring the country "back twenty years, to the time of the Berlusconi government".
For his part, however, the leader of the League Matteo Salvini asks to "reset the Procurement Code" and on major works "to give power to the mayors" and to use EU regulations. "The final way out on which we are working is the zeroing of the procurement code and the use of European standards that are faster and leaner. And I would give the mayors direct powers over the great works", he says on 'La Press' talking about the Simplifications in view of the works to be carried out with the Recovery. To Letta's proposal on inheritance tax, he responds with a counter-proposal: "To reverse the route I have an idea, we tax Amazon and giants like Amazon, which in Europe have gigantic turnover and pay ridiculous amounts of taxes". Then it is said "conquered" by Mario Draghi.
