The premier Giuseppe Conte Monday night he met the Northern League under-secretary Siri and from Tunis said: «We are in the middle of a journey, my jacket doesn't let you pull that much". Conte talked about it with Matteo Salvini during the flight to Tunis where Luigi Di Maio he had already landed the night before. Salvini knows that the story will end with a step backwards from Siri, for reasons of opportunity. Matteo Salvini, meanwhile, begins to give the line of the electoral campaign: «It is mandatory to carry out the Flat Tax as soon as possible for companies, workers and families, as per government contract, without doubts or delays». Count in response he said: «This is not the time to talk about tax reform ", the prime minister commented, pointing out that the government will be busy with the maneuver in the autumn. "
Matteo Salvini does not fit and after the Council of Ministers said: «The tax reform must be done, it is a goal of the whole government, a qualifying point of the contract».
He echoes it Di Maio who, however, is keen to point out that the priority remains the sterilization of VAT increases: "Flat tax? I do not want to increase VAT. That's fine for me, these are projects that we have been carrying out and that we will carry on. But it is clear that nothing is done by increasing the VAT. Everything else is in the contract and it has to be done».
The Flat Tax argument, according to the League, will enter the work tables immediately after the European 26 May. But on the Autonomy of Veneto and Lombardy instead one could proceed immediately.
Probably the head of the undersecretary Siri will be the push for Salvini to give force to the Flat Tax and to the Autonomies, the two new cards considered "winning" for the electoral campaign for the Europeans. Siri for its part supports innocence, but would take a step backwards, or on the side to favor the victory of the League next 26 in May and aspire to future assignments.
