(Finance) – The government received confidence in the House on the Budget with 211 votes in favor and 117 against. After a brief pause in the work on the maneuver for the vote on Enrico Letta’s resignation, the Montecitorio Assembly resumed the examination and vote on the agendas for the budget law. The change note is expected at 8pm, the final declarations of vote will begin at 9pm, broadcast live on TV, and the final vote on the measure will take place around 10.30pm. The bill will then pass to the Senate for a second reading.
”In the maneuver we identified rules and resources to support the productive fabric of the South, confirming the decontribution of the South until 2029″ said the Minister of Labour, Marina Calderone.
But for the CGIL the provision “accelerates the country’s economic decline and impoverishes popular groups. The judgment on the government’s economic policy choices for 2025 is, in fact, for the CGIL “seriously negative”https://www.Finance.it/DettaglioNews/149_2024-12 -20_TLB/.”You can’t see it – underlines in a note the confederal secretary of the CGIL, Christian Ferrari – a single measure capable of reversing the country’s economic decline and anemic GDP growth. Indeed, linear cuts to public spending and investments will worsen the situation, compressing domestic demand even further and preventing us from implementing an industrial policy that is up to the crucial challenges we face: the digital, energy and ecological transition of the our production system. The consequences will be immediate and very concrete. Corporate crises will multiply, the request for layoffs will increase and employment levels, both from a quantitative and qualitative point of view, will be affected. Workers, pensioners and pensioners, who have endured brutal impoverishment caused by a flare-up of inflation for which no significant remedy has been provided, will suffer – he adds Ferrari – also the effects of the weakening of an increasingly less public and less universalistic welfare system, of the defunding of the National Health Service, of Education and Research, of the reduction of transfers to local authorities”. Furthermore, the confederal secretary underlines that “there is no there will be no response not even in terms of social security” and “the new generations, who suffer first-hand from a precariousness which increasingly turns from working to existential, will continue to leave our country to seek opportunities for fulfillment abroad”. According to Ferrari “to earn money they will be, once again, those who are accumulating profits, large assets and incomes, which have grown out of all proportion, and the tax evaders, for whom every possible and imaginable system is devised to allow them to continue not respecting their tax obligations”.
