The key points
- Modulation over several years
- The objectives set by the League
- The Democratic Party and the extension of “Woman Option”
A gradual transition from Quota 100 to the Fornero law in full version. It is Mario Draghi himself who reiterates from Brussels after the EU Council how the government intends to manage the delicate pension chapter of the budget law, expected next week.
“I have always said that I did not share Quota 100, it has a three-year duration and will not be renewed,” said the premier. He added: «What needs to be done is to ensure a gradual transition to what used to be normalcy. The important thing is to keep fixed the fact that Quota 100 will not be renewed for a three-year period and at the same time, it is necessary to be gradual “in applying the new rules. Draghi reiterated that the competition law will be presented by the end of October. And he confirmed that a decree is coming (perhaps as early as next week) “a decree that should remove some of the impediments that exist” on the path traced for the implementation phase of the NRP, on which, underlined the Prime Minister, “we have not No delays”.
Modulation over several years
On pensions Draghi did not provide details on what the final scheme will be for after Quota 100. A “scheme” on which an intense confrontation is underway between the parties of the majority and the Ministry of Economy in a real whirlwind of meetings. Even yesterday the most popular option was that of a succession of shares over a period of three or four years. With the inclusion of Quota 103 between the “102” and “104” proposed by Minister Daniele Franco. But the League continues to focus on a longer term 102 Quota, at least two years, possibly “fixed”, even if a mediation on Quota 103 appears possible. While simulations are taking place at the Mef and INPS, there are also those who look, even in the Democratic Party, to a flexible path that starts with retirements with 63-64 years, for the sole contribution portion of the treatment exceeding 1.2 times the social allowance, in line with the proposal of the president of the INPS Tridico.
Regardless of what the final choice will be, which will accompany the extension of the social Ape to at least a first group of new categories of heavy work, it is already certain that the dowry of 1.5 billion for three years (600 million in 2022) indicated by the programmatic budget document, will have to rise while respecting the “balances” already established. And resources, through specific coverage, appear destined to rise by at least one billion over the three-year period.
The objectives set by the League
The confrontation in the majority will go on until the last possible second. Claudio Durigon, head of work for the League, makes it clear that the Northern League will try to resist on “a 102 quota in a fixed form” and lasting at least 24 months which must be accompanied “by targeted exceptions for certain categories or specific situations”. An intervention that would set the bar for new retirements at 100 thousand over the first three years and that should cost more than 1.8-2 billion when fully operational. The cost of the Tridico proposal, which is being looked at in other areas by the majority, would also be slightly higher than 2 billion in the three-year period.
