The revision of the citizenship income and the reform of the social safety nets. And then there is that of the taxman, with the cut of the wedge. The game of the Maneuver is played on the difficult balance between the demands of the parties. On the other hand, when it comes to the distribution of resources, mediations are not done in words but with numbers. And they don't cheat: they measure the distances between political forces that are in government from opposite perspectives. Tuesday should be the moment of truth. A council of ministers is expected for that day to deal with the maneuver, also to define the budget planning document to be sent to Brussels. Before the government meeting, there will likely be a control room.
The most politically sensitive issue is that of citizenship income. The Five Star Movement does not want "its" measure to be touched, but the front of those who intend to put a hand on it is wide: Lega, FI and IV would like to intervene with the caterpillar. And even the Democratic Party, with more caution, asks that it be changed. One of the cruxes is the mechanism for the search for work, that is, how to make the citizenship income commit the recipients to find a job. Which is also a tool to make the measurement less expensive. "Questioning the citizenship income is out of time - said the Five Star Minister, Stefano Patuanelli - If we then talk about how to make it easier for the employable part to find a new job, we are very willing to think".Also for Prime Minister Mario Draghi it is necessary to review active labor policies. The group of experts led by sociologist Chiara Saraceno will deliver its report at the end of the month. Among the suggestions, there would be that for a review of the requirements (such as skills or distance from home) that determine the congruity of the job offer to those who receive the income, in order to stem the possibility of refusing it. And then other indications: strengthen the projects useful to the community that the Municipality of residence "offers" to those who receive the income and eliminate the obstacles that now face large families and with minors who intend to access the subsidy. And also to make the parameters for assigning it to immigrants less rigid. Oninvestment in the Maneuver certainly now there are only the 200 million included in the tax decree to arrive until 31 December. And already on those the clash was hard, with the League and the M5s that were said of all colors.
The Minister of Labor, Andrea Orlando, is planning a reform of the social safety nets, with a series of interventions, such as the extension of protections to self-employed workers, in order to overcome or extend the concept of the Cig.
In all, about 8 billion would be needed. For the moment, however, there would be more or less half of them available. The other majority forces - Lega, IV and FI - aim to cut the personal income tax, in the tax reform: for that available there would be around 6 billion. But we need more. The Democratic Party also aims to reduce taxes on labor - also to guarantee more purchasing power to employees - and on this there would have been a certain convergence with Confindustria, in the meeting that took place at the Nazarene. A tool to find resources could be the revisitation of the cashback, suspended for the moment but not yet canceled: but it is another symbolic measure of the Conte government that the Movement seeks to safeguard. Then there is the Quota 100 chapter, which expires at the end of the year. Despite the League asking for its renewal,the government is working to define its fate. One of the hypotheses is to replace it with the 'contributory' Bee.
In practice, as proposed by the president of the INPS Pasquale Tridico, people aged 63 or 64 could access the contribution amount accrued on the date of the request, and then have a full pension upon reaching the age of seniority.
