After the ESM was rejected by the House of Representatives and EU finance ministers agreed on the new Stability Pact, the opposition is calling for an urgent hearing of Minister Giorgetti in the Budget Committee. The request was forwarded by the groups Pd, M5S, IV and Action to Giuseppe Mangialavori from Forza Italia, president of the Commission and chairman of the Budget committee in the Chamber.
“Last 20 December – we read in the note – after months of negotiations, European Union Finance Ministers unanimously signed an agreement on the revision of the Stability and Growth Pact (SGP), which will be put to a vote by the European Parliament before the end of the legislative assembly, whose final approval will have to wait “. “Following this important success – explain the opposition parties – whatever the decision on the merits, the House of Representatives, by the vote of the Assembly at the session on 21 December, rejected the bill that introduced this law. The power to ratify the Treaty Amending the Treaty Establishing the European Stability Mechanism”.
Therefore, the opposition thinks that “it is necessary and urgent for a briefing from the Minister of Economy and Finance Giancarlo Giorgetti” in the budget commission.
Last night, after the approval of the finance law in the Senate, Giorgetti himself admitted that, as head of the Ministry of Economy, he would seek the approval of the ESM “for economic-financial reasons”, but added that “this is out of the question”. The mood for approval is purely for non-economic reasons As for the Stability Pact agreement, which was fiercely opposed by the opposition, Giorgetti described it as “much better than it sounds”.
