But already last night the ministerial offices had been warned of the probable shift in schedule. Government sources explain that the delay would be due to a “complex” refinement work: “adjustments on some items” and a revision of the coherence of the various parts of the text are underway.
From yesterday, government sources explained, “technical discussions” between the Mef offices, Palazzo Chigi and the EU commission on some procedural and formal aspects of the NRP, which is expected by 30 April in Brussels. In any case, the CDM should be convened shortly and will limit itself to an informal examination of the Plan, before the premier’s communications to the Chambers on Monday and Tuesday, followed by the OK in the Council of Ministers.
But some critical issues continue to be reported by the parties of the majority, starting with issues such as the extension of the Superbonus, also cried out today by the M5s and Forza Italia.

With this in mind, the 110% superbonus is a fundamental measure to allow not only to safeguard our planet and significantly reduce emissions, but also to allow millions of families to save on energy costs and make them safer their homes on the anti-seismic level ».
The president of ABI, Antonio Patuelli, and the general manager, Giovanni Sabatini, also asked “the Italian institutions that the measures relating to the 110% increase in order to implement the national recovery and resilience plan be contemplated until 2023. the eco-bonus and the seismabonus which represent a decisive incentive for the recovery of important sectors of our economy “.
Then there is the League’s pressing on the reopening of shopping centers on weekends, which have disappeared since the last dl. Matteo Salvini’s party also claims that the regions have not been listened to enough. And the Democratic Party, with the secretary Enrico Letta, returns to ask for the inclusion of a conditionality clause in favor of youth and female employment. But in Cdm the discussion promises to be articulated on numerous aspects, from competition to the single network.
