The EU Commission would have digested the overrun of the deficit / GDP at 2,04 percent but what matters for the EU rules is not the nominal deficit, but the structural one, calculated net of the effects of the economic cycle and one-off measures. There are still 3,5 billion and so we talk about the block of hiring in the PA and web tax. So tonight a summit at Palazzo Chigi with Conte, Di Maio, Salvini, Tria and his deputy ministers Castelli and Garavaglia is a must before presenting the maxi-corrective amendment of the budget law to the Senate.
Also in the day tomorrow, Beppe Grillo is expected in Rome to take stock of the situation with his. A reasonable mediation with the government allies is being examined.
Meanwhile, we continue to retouch and amend to cut another million euros trying not to touch the two main measures of this maneuver: income of citizenship and pensions at 100.
Citizenship income should commit just over 7 billion euros while the revision of the Fornero law would cost about 4,7 billion euros. The League presented another amendment to the budget law to abolish the disputed eco-tax for a cost of 156 million over three years. The grillini, on the other hand, presented an amendment to punish the production of polluting cotton buds with fines of up to 0 thousand euros. Also tomorrow will be known the provision for the bonus to buy electric or hybrid cars. The leader of the League, Matteo Salvini yesterday tweeted several times on the attempts of the elites of the country of to drop the government and he said he did not he wants to know about further "concessions" in Brussels.
Luigi Di Maio, on the other hand, it sees no room for revising citizenship income downwards. The Cinquestelle let it be known that the European Union is not concerned so much with citizenship income as with pensions considered a structural element of weakness in a country that no longer has children. "I signed the contract with Salvini and in the contract there is the citizenship income", Luigi Di Maio closed the game, referring to the doubts expressed yesterday by the League's undersecretary to the presidency of the Council Giancarlo Giorgetti who supported the citizenship income due to illegal work especially in the south. Immediately the accusations of the M5S that spoke of those who want to divide the country between rich and poor.
