Tria ready to resign, Savona in the chair only for the financial maneuver, Quirinale in alarm

Luigi Di Maio is direct and openly criticizes the Minister of the Treasury Tria, "a real government of change, he says, can not stop at the decimals, because a strong signal must be given immediately on all the priorities indicated in the contract. And to do that we need to push the deficit, already with the update note to the Def, over the wall of 2%, at least at 2,4%".

Giovanni Tria, "I entered a government for the first time and swore in the sole interest of the nation and not others. Obviously, it is not just me who swore, it is a question of the responsibility of the ministers". The minister of the economy confirms his commitment to unblock citizenship income, flat tax and one hundred quota as required by the Government contract. The Minister of Economy said this at Confcommercio, twenty-four hours after the presentation of the update to the GDP. The majority parties are pressing for the deficit to go over 2019 percent in 2, against the 0,9 agreed last year in Europe by the Gentiloni government.

Then Tra was more direct, “obviously everyone can have a vision of the nation's interest and this is the responsibility of the ministers. As they say in science and conscience, try to interpret this mandate well. We are trying to do this, to find this mix of policies that shows everyone that we need to have faith in Italy, not only in public accounts but in growth and investments ”. Tria explained that it is a priority not to scare the markets, because the goal is «a growth maneuver but which does not create doubts about the sustainability of our debt. The first commitment of the maneuver is to prevent an increase in the tax burden and therefore to defuse the VAT clauses. A commitment that was enough to make him
get a long applause from the Confcommercio audience. Then the minister moved on to citizenship income. That «beyond the labels, it goes in the direction of allowing more easily the transformations of the productive fabric that create transitory problems in the social fabric». Therefore it must be an instrument of outplacement, of reconversion of workers in crisis, not a simple subsidy. At the same time, «the difficulties of applying the Fornero law» must be overcome to facilitate turnover, to «accelerate the exit from companies of very old personnel to bring in young people with different skills, because there is a problem of skills». According to Tria, calming the markets and addressing the issue - only in this way can the recovery be relaunched. The important thing, concludes the Minister of Economy, is that “all the measures of the maneuver are implemented in a conscious way, gradually and in a coordinated way.

This time Salvini and Di Maio agree to increase the deficit going over 1,6%. 15 billion are needed to keep the electoral promises. They are also willing to entrust the maneuver (only the maneuver) to Minister Savona. So the Quirinale will not be upset too much. The Undersecretary to the Prime Minister Giorgetti proposes, on the other hand, to exceed 2%, a middle ground between 1,6% and 2,4%. Today at 18.00 there will be the Council of Ministers, we will see what happens. Tria for its part is ready to resign.
