20 October 2019 "A real fight against tax evasion and the reduction of taxes to those who pay them is the fundamental point on which action must be taken". The government "has made commitments with us" and some points such as the fight against tax evasion and the cutting of the tax wedge "cannot be questioned. It does not occur to anyone not to do them". This was said by the general secretary of the CGIL, Maurizio Landini to 'Mezz'ora in più'.

"We have appreciated that after so many years before making the stability law, this government called us and confronted us." But "he has made commitments with us, and the law they propose on some aspects, such as reducing the wedge is a point that cannot be questioned, such as the fight against evasion".

Problem is serious fight against evasion
"I am not worried about" the full square yesterday, "it is not the first time that the square is filled with Berlusconi, years ago it was filled even more. Instead, there is an element that worries: a series of messages that come from there and not only, also from Leopolda. If faced with what happens from the right and not only the message arrives that the problem is "no taxes" this is unacceptable

On this point the secretary of the CGIL also attacks the former president of the council. "Renzi has made the premier and cannot say that it has nothing to do with what has been done in these years in which tax evasion has never been affected" - said Landini - replying to the words with which the leader of Italia Viva criticizes the anti-evasion choices of the M5S-Pd government. "The real underlying theme is to charge taxes to those who don't pay them," he explains. "It is also a cultural breaking point: those who do not pay taxes steal and I cannot defend them while those who pay them do their duty. Then small, medium or large evasion ... I must strike at those who do not pay. European Union has our tax evasion ".

VAT re-modulation? Ready to discuss it in tax reform
VAT VAT rate modulation? "The theme we have set is to restart investments and within a comprehensive tax reform, the fight against tax evasion and corruption, we have no problem in re-discussing that issue there. Many billions of tax evasion come from VAT."

Whirlpool: "Development agency is needed"
To deal with the Whirlpool affair but also to all the other industrial crises underway would need a "development agency, a sort of new IRI". So Landini re-launches the proposal put forward by the union "of new instruments": "it is not a question of new nationalizations but of public intervention", he explains, in order to get the situations back on their feet.

Alitalia: ok new entries but define business plan
On Alitalia we are asking for acceleration. Nothing against the entry of FS, Atlantia or Mef with a quota. But it is necessary to define an industrial plan ".
