After the agreement on
seaside resorts
and the tax authorities,
Mario Draghi
sees a "significantly cleared" horizon on the reform front and can relaunch the government's commitment to "do what Italy needs".
A sprint that the premier wants to give to the last part of the legislature to face the crisis and bring home all the funds of the
NRR,
one of the main objectives of his executive.
"We are here for this, not to stand still", he said at the national congress of the CISL.
Where he also announces a drop in the tax burden of 0.4%, the "most significant reduction in the last six years".
which, after the agreement on competition, is back in pressure for "fiscal peace".
"Without fiscal peace there is the risk of massacring the Italians. That the government has not yet dealt with the issue amazes me"
, declares Salvini.
The prime minister stresses the effort made by the executive to cope with the economic and energy crisis, amplified by the war in Ukraine: "With the IRPEF reform we have supported the incomes of families, especially the weakest ones. These greater transfers are valid. when fully operational, almost 14 billion euros and make our tax system more rational and progressive ".
So, he remembers the reduction in contributions to be paid by workers for 2022, decided to support wages;
the expansion of the audience of those who can draw on the social bonus to protect citizens from energy price increases;
the cut in excise duties on fuels;
and the one-off allowance of 200 euros "for 28 million Italians".
The watchword, which also gives its name to the CISL congress, is "change".
A need which, according to Draghi, the war between Russia and Ukraine has made even more evident and which requires unity of purpose on the part of political forces and social partners.
Thus, after the very complicated agreement on the beach resorts, which in recent days had created strong tensions in the majority, the premier also announces the agreement on the fiscal delegation and can, finally, affirm that all the objectives of the Recovery Plan will be achieved in time.
Obstacles in the parliamentary path?
"Today I can say that I am much more serene - he replies during a press conference - The law on competition can go on. Let's go on on the tax side too.
The situation is calmer than in recent days".
At the same time, addressing CGIL, CISL and UIL, Draghi hopes for the strengthening of the "spirit of loyal and frank collaboration" with Palazzo Chigi.
"Since its inauguration, the government has sought, and I would say very often found, dialogue with the trade unions" claims the premier, citing the "Ciampi pact of 1993 which made Italy stronger and more competitive and which combined economic growth , protection of rights, defense of workers' wages ".
Faced with the social pact, already mentioned in the past, the confederates have a different approach: the CISL has been hoping for it for some time, CGIL and UIL show themselves more lukewarm by asking to start from the contents.
But when Draghi expresses the goal of "breaking down precariousness" and fighting white deaths, he is addressing everyone: "Much remains to be done, starting with the safety of workers", he says, recalling the people who died at work, over 1,200 in the only 2021. "We intervened to strengthen and make the control system more participatory", but "strengthening inspection activities is not enough. Companies must carry out training, maintenance and prevention activities - says the head of the government -. civilization theme ".
