Letta: “Wicked government, it is an invitation to escape”
Meanwhile, however, the opposition goes on the attack. “The Government should follow Europe on some choices. If it followed Europe it would not make this wicked choice of raising the minimum level of cash with respect to the use of the POS. A choice that I hope will be changed because the choice to bring the obligation at 60 euros is clearly a dramatic setback. A way simply to help some categories who do not want to know about using electronic payments, “said the national secretary of the Democratic Party, Enrico Letta, in a press point in Brussels for the opening of the Congress. “Unfortunately this choice will have terrible damage on our country’s tax revenues because it is clearly an invitation to tax evasion. I think this is the worst way for the government to do it because in the end it will give a message and will do heavy damage. our country,” he added.
