Superbonus, government trusts and M5S wins: “Wicked”

In the end, the government decided to place its trust in the Chamber of Deputies in the decree-law on the transfer of credits. Thus, the obstructionist strategy of the 5 Star Movement, which had decided to register 49 deputies to speak, which, having 30 minutes each, would have exceeded 24 hours, did not go ahead. The Movement led by Giuseppe Conte defends the super bonus until the bitter end. Rapporteur De Bertoldi, from the Brothers of Italy, recalled in the classroom that the government “inherited a situation characterized by fraud, estimated at more than 9 billion” and that there are blocked credits “estimated between 15 and 20 billion”. The grillini respond to accusations that it was a necessary measure to inject liquidity into a country experiencing a pandemic that has blocked everything. And that fraud “on the superbonus amounts to about 450 million, that is, 0.7 percent of all tax credits” declared Deputy Dell’Olio of the 5 Star Movement. Giuseppe Conte called the decree “profane” that “offers no real solutions”. And it doesn’t matter if companies ask the government for an acceleration.

The executive is working hard on the super bonus. The solution we are moving towards, that of a platform to pay off problematic credits managed by the public company Enel X together with the possibility of paying off tax deductions in ten years instead of four, is one of those that we requested» said the president of Confapi, Cristian Camisa, in celebration of the 75 years of the Confederation. His invitation is “to act quickly because our businessmen are desperate. Of the 19 billion credits, three refer to Confapi companies». After the announcement by the Minister of Economy, Giancarlo Giorgetti, of the trust placed by the government in the decree, the device was modified in the Finance Commission based on requests from the State Accounting Office, which raised some observations on the amendment approved in the commission. The BTPs, long-term treasury bonds, will exclusively result from ordinary and non-extraordinary issues, therefore without issuing new debt. The modalities of application of the law will be decided with directives of a managerial nature by the Revenue Agency and the Ministry of Economy and Finance, after consultation with the Bank of Italy. The vote, by roll call, will take place today from 18:00h, with the explanations of vote scheduled for 16:30h.

In the session on Monday, April 3, work will resume from 11:00 am to 5:30 pm for the illustration of the orders of the day and for the expression of opinion by the government representative. From 17:30 to 20:00, continuing into the evening from 21:00 to 24:00 and possibly on April 4th from 9:30 to 12:00, the agenda will be voted on. From 12h00 onwards, the final vote explanations and the final vote will take place with television coverage. The deadline for submission of guidelines ends at 13:00 today. The League rejoices. Lega Senator Stefano Borghesi, leader of the group on the Finance Committee of the Palazzo Madama declared: “Excellent work on the issue of problem loans because, thanks to Minister of Economy Giancarlo Giorgetti, the hypothesis of resorting to the F24 models was ruled out for the attribution of credits and we are moving towards a platform that would be led by Enel-X. The left can rest easy because, finally, with this government, the League is doing work aimed at the good of Italian families and companies.”
