(ANSA) - ROME, NOVEMBER 22 - The budget maneuver, "despite some positive interventions, does not mark a significant step forward towards the modernization of the country. In fact, its approach certainly responds to the need to accompany it along the path out of the crisis, but it does not seem capable of supporting those transformative demands of the Italian economy and society, which are also at the basis of the Next Generation Eu ". This is the opinion of Confindustria, expressed at the hearing on the Budget Law, to the Senate and House Budget Committees and also reaffirmed by the President Carlo Bonomi who asked to increase the resources available for the tax cut.
"We believe the eight billion is low, we believe that at least 13 billion should be put on a strong tax wedge cut," said the leader of the industrialists. According to Bonomi, "it is true that exports are doing very well, this year we will make perhaps 550 billion and therefore the record, but we must also stimulate domestic demand, which has been stagnant for decades. Secondly, given that raw materials are increasing, they are increasing. energy costs, the only factor of competitiveness on which we can work - he concluded - is to lower the cost of labor ".
The trade unions are not of the same opinion, also heard in Parliament on the maneuver.
CGIL, CISL and UIL ask to concentrate the tax cut only on retired workers, because companies, as reported by the union led by Maurizio Landini, have already had 10 billion in the budget law.
