“If this IRPEF cut (planned by the government, ed) is the beginning of a path, I can understand it, otherwise it is a waste of resources that does not lead to growth. Our proposal, which coincidentally is the same as that of the Brothers of Italy, shows by numbers that it is the best if you want to put money in your pocket for the Italians ». Thus the president of Confindustria Carlo Bonomi speaking in Atreju (the Fdi kermesse in progress in Rome). “The fiscal delegation was broad as never before had any government in republican history – he added – and you cannot make an intervention without understanding what the goal is”. Also because “this maneuver subtracts 13 billion from businesses, 13 billion will be lacking in investments”.
Bonomi: make reforms, or we are doomed to decline
For the president of Confindustria, «the real challenge is reforms. For 25 years this country has hung without reform because we were told that there were no resources. Today there are and there are no more excuses. Reforms must be made to make the country modern, efficient and inclusive. If we don’t do this we are doomed to decline ”. In this scenario, «we cannot afford it is political uncertainty. We need stability, but reforms must be made because stability as an end in itself is useless ».
“We bounce we’re not growing”
Another imperative is that of growth. “We’re not growing we’re bouncing,” said Bonomi. And he added: «Next year the rebound will go down and in Nadef the government honestly predicted that in 2023 we will grow only by 1.5%. We have to do growth, we have to make measures for growth, because otherwise we will not repay the debt “
“Context of the strike motivations, we need confrontation”
Then the jab on the general strike proclaimed by CGIL and UIL on 16 December. «What I contest in the strike are the reasons. Do we want to fight pirate contracts? Let’s fight them but we know who makes them, not the companies. Do we want to fight fake cooperatives where there are no rights to work? Let’s fight them. Do we want to put more money in the pockets of the workers? Present. We want to make a joint commission for safety at work. Present “urges the president of Confindustria Carlo Bonomi who clarifies:” We need a discussion table otherwise, borrowing Greta, he is just a bla bla. Making the master-servants battle again is a Fordist battle of the twentieth century “
“Fiscal policy is no longer Mef but the Revenue Agency”
Finally, a critical reference on the patent box. «The Fiscal policy in Italy is no longer done by the Mef, but the Revenue Agency does it. The proof is what happened with the Patent Box which was dismantled because it works ». And again: “They dismantled the Patent Box because it absorbed too much public finance to find resources to transfer to the navigators and citizenship income”.
