(ANSA) - PADUA, 02 MAY - "We strongly insist that in the intervention that the Government will make today there is an intervention in support of wages. Italian wages are among the lowest in Europe, if the cost of living increases dramatically those wages the cost of living cannot be sustained: this is the equation on which to intervene, either wages are raised or the cost of living is lowered. the increase in the cost of living is more contained than what has been happening until now ".
Thus the Pd secretary Enrico Letta, in Padua for an electoral initiative.
"Our proposal is the energy check that is able to compensate both businesses and families - added Letta -. We believe it is necessary to pay it with a heavy tax on the extra profits that the large oil and energy companies have made in this period due to the volatility of commodity costs ".
