(ANSA) - ROME, NOVEMBER 23 - "The President of Forza Italia, Silvio Berlusconi, met in videoconference with the national coordinator Antonio Tajani and the group leaders in the Senate Annaria Bernini and in the Chamber Paolo Barelli, to make the point about the Budget Law and the other upcoming parliamentary deadlines . During the meeting, he reaffirmed the centrality of supporting businesses for the creation of new jobs, also through tools such as cutting the tax wedge, to which adequate resources must be allocated in each sector ". It can be read in a note from FI.
"Creating work through growth - explained Berlusconi - is the main way to address the issue of poverty that afflicts many Italian families in a structural way, especially but not only in the South. In front of this emergency Forza Italia has always supported the need for forms of integration to the income of those who - through no fault of their own - cannot work: I am thinking of the elderly, many disabled people, housewives, young people waiting for employment or forced to work with low pay. We called it in 2018 'Income of dignity', on the model of negative income tax of the great liberal economist, Nobel laureate Milton Friedman. "
"We are not saying anything new by reiterating the fact that the abuses, to be fought with the utmost severity, do not cancel the need for a form of income support that will make people responsible and incentivize - for those who can - the search for a job. petition of principle, however, it is necessary to create new jobs, through a dynamic use of the fiscal lever. The resources of the PNRR must be used thinking about this need ", he concludes.
