«We are serene, loyal people. We do not send letters from Santa Claus. We ask for the cancellation of Fornero and the tax cut, he responds to those who ask him about Mario Draghi’s “stick” at a press conference against those who make “ultimatums” and “threaten havoc in September”. “I do not comment on the words of the Prime Minister”, continued the leader of the Carroccio, “we are working and I am happy with the work we do”.
But even the League, loyalty aside, has its points of view and above all its requests to the executive: “We ask the government to speed up fiscal peace, because there are 15 million Italians who have an Equitalia file that risks destroy their life and their family. We ask to accelerate the pension reform and the definitive overcoming of the Fornero law and then to increase salaries and pensions which are absolutely too low compared to inflation and the cost of living ».
The minimum wage? “If it does not concern national employment contracts it is absolutely sacrosanct, otherwise not, because fortunately the national collective labor agreements provide for a higher wage threshold”. Then the jab: «I read that the Prime Minister is against a budget variance. I think the exact opposite. Either you put a real 50 billion into the pockets of the Italians or it will be difficult to face the autumn ».
«On immigration», continued the leader of the Northern League, «I fear it will be a disastrous summer. I hope that President Draghi gives Minister Lamorgese a call, because beyond the Lampedusa emergency, Italy is in the hands of organized criminal gangs of foreigners and there are men and women in uniform who can’t stand it anymore. There is a situation of generalized insecurity. I have heard Draghi say that immigration cannot be unlimited, he has the power not to let this limit be exceeded ».
To close, the Rome «question»: «The situation from Raggi to Gualtieri has not changed, indeed it has worsened. The commissioner of the council is right and right ».
