“You are miserable!” Roberto Giachetti, from Azione – Italia viva, shouted in the Chamber of Deputies addressing the benches of the 5 Star Movement at the end of a speech on the subject of the salary of parliamentarians which, as established yesterday by the Montecitorio Bureau, will not be increased, without linking them to the salaries of the first magistrates of Cassation. «This decision has been taken since 2006, it is a practice that lasts 16 years. But the 5 Star Movement, immediately after the unanimous decision taken first by the College of Quaestors and then yesterday by the Bureau, issued a statement to vindicate its struggle and its battle to reach this result. Not only Giuseppe Conte, leader of the M5S, also intervened at night with a message on social networks. From the leader to the last one who did this, you can define yourself politically with just one term, you are miserable!”
Applauding Giachetti’s intervention is Tommaso Foti, leader of the Brothers of Italy group in the Chamber: “The Cinquestelle have been unmasked, good at staging the comedy of parties. The decision not to increase parliamentary allowances until 2025, without linking them to the salaries of the first magistrates of cassation, as specified in court by the illustrious Giachetti, has been taken since 2006 and was taken unanimously first by the College of Quaestors and then yesterday by the ‘Bureau . The grillini, as always, attribute to themselves merits that they do not have or dissociate themselves and exempt themselves from responsibilities, although they always have them, according to convenience. Two-faced Janus does not compare in comparison».
