The Italian Minister of Economy and Finance, Giovanni Tria, in the Chamber, spoke about the citizenship income and the probability that the benefit, in addition to Italians, should also go to foreigners, as foreseen by the same 5-star bill presented in the last legislature.
Tria, also in the Chamber, reiterated that the Budget law will respect the deficit and debt constraints (1,6% maximum) and therefore the measures envisaged by the government program will be introduced with "gradualness".
Black day for the M5S also because the leader of the League met Silvio Berlusconi and Giorgia Meloni for a mending of the alliance in view of the upcoming local elections. The League has also brought together its undersecretaries to make a phasing of the maneuver focusing on the flat tax and on the "l00" quota for pensions, leaving out instead the income of citizenship.
In all of this, the OECD has thought to further increase the tension, which has revised its growth estimates downwards and asked the government not to cancel the effects of the Fornero reform. The grillino undersecretary Stefano Buffagni in Tonight Italy, “the contract is clear, the citizenship income is for Italians but within the provisions of the Constitution. Of course it makes you smile that Minister Tria goes to institutional offices citing a document from 5 years ago. Everyone has to do their job ”. Then he attacked Tria also because he has not yet found the resources for the maneuver, "work on cuts in waste instead of making easy money with horizontal cuts and tax increases, because we would all be good at raising taxes".
The vice premier Matteo Salvini on the income of citizenship to foreigners has assured, "I am sure that the Five Stars will guarantee that to take advantage of the income of citizenship will be only and only Italians, as it is clearly written in the government contract".
