Financial, maneuver for 25 billion. Tajani talks about minimum pensions

In the end, the measure that the Council of Ministers is preparing to launch on Monday, October 16, could reach 24 or even 25 billion euros. The meeting takes place at Palazzo Chigi, at 9:30 am, but the game still seems open on some issues, starting with the issue of pensions, on which Forza Italia continues to insist in order to achieve an increase in minimum subsidies. Around 23 billion are taken for granted, of which 15 are for the reduction of the tax burden, extended until 2024, and for the remodulation of Irpef with the merger of the first two tiers into a single rate set at 23%. An allocation of 3 billion should be allocated to healthcare, while 5 billion will go to the renewal of public administration contracts, along with a series of measures for the family and birth rate. However, it is a number that appears destined to increase. The maneuver “will be around 23-24 billion and will have as its main objective to help those who are in difficulty. We will confirm the cut in the tax burden for the entire year 2024” and “we will do everything for the doctors and nurses with the renewal of the contract and to exempt anyone who can help us cut the waiting lists”, explains Deputy Prime Minister Antonio Tajani, saying he is certain that the Budget law “will also bring some increase in pensions, above all there will be some reevaluation of the minimums”.

Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni called for a maneuver focused “on combating inflation, on the need to help families and companies. We focus on the serious and important things, which are businesses, jobs, income and families. There are no resources to waste and no money to throw away on meaningless things.” The Minister of Agriculture, Francesco Lollobrigida, reiterates that “the budget law is made with seriousness and an approach that allows us to sow tomorrow’s Italy today.” The meaning is that “we put everything we could, in terms of resources, at such a difficult time also at an international level, which convinces us that we need to be prudent and responsible”, adds the Minister of Business and Made in Italy Adolfo Urso, noting that «Italy is advancing better than other European countries.” The opposition, however, continues to attack. «It is true that the blanket is short, but it is equally true that the Meloni government wanted to shorten the blanket, that instead of discussing how we combat tax evasion, discussed 14 amnesties and were discussing the 15th, why they work like that, by corporate tips that do not produce greater tax justice”, accuses the secretary of the Democratic Party Elly Schlein, while the secretary of Più Europa Riccardo Magi speaks of a “depressing and depressing” maneuver: not only does it have nothing for growth, productivity and competition, but it increases public debt, passing it on to future generations. A stone in the future of our young people.”
