“Taking a straight leg on pensions does not seem to me the best way to raise the country, also because I remember that 100 has given jobs to hundreds of thousands of young people.” Matteo Salvini puts the first hearing of the Open Arms trial behind him, and as he leaves the Pagliarelli bunker room he returns to the hot topics of the moment: maneuver, taxes and above all quota 100.
“During a pause in the trial I wrote to President Draghi, I am available to meet him from now on whenever he wants,” said the leader of the League. “Because it would be a mistake to refinance the citizen’s income and cut pensions. If you do not want to call it quota 100, that’s fine, the important thing is that from January 1st there are no steps or stairways or approaches to Fornero and that the right to pension is guaranteed, to women, hard workers, employees of small and medium-sized enterprises. . Reading about three or five years of stairways from 2022 onwards is absolutely not useful in a country that is rising again. So, after the judicial interlude we are working on the economic maneuver ».
And speaking of maneuver, Salvini explained the issues on which the League will put pressure on Draghi: “We will ask the government that the 8 billion in tax cuts become even more, starting with the most affected by Covid: therefore, leave VAT, autonomous , freelancers, temporary workers, artisans, traders. We will ask to raise the ceiling of the flat tax up to a turnover of 100 thousand euros and that the eco-bonus of 110% is also extended to countries and small municipalities and to individual units ».
Changes and measures that it will not be easy for the premier to digest: “As we have always done in recent months, we will find an agreement with President Draghi”, closed Salvini who added: “I heard Berlusconi while there was a pause in the process, we’ll see you next week with the six ministers because we have to deal with the maneuver, the competition law, the procurement reform, the fiscal delegation, the public administration reform ».
