Di Maio: "Everyone gets up in the morning and says one, let's close it"
"By now, everyone gets up in the morning and says one on the maneuver ... We must have the constancy to end this maneuver.

Here are all friends of Greta in the world, even in Italy but then when we go to reduce, for examples, the plastic not recyclable to sea ... This tax is not now more impacting on businesses, because plastic tax and sugar tax together make 500 million euros that seem like a lot but we are talking about a disincentive that allows companies to reconvert without bogging down the sector ".

It is insane to say that eliminating the sugar tax favors someone to the detriment of workers And it is a point of reference that Italia Viva does not accept Just listen to the small businesses of Emilia Romagna, already badly hit by the Asian bug, which claim to be a risk and have protested even in these hours to the Parliament. We are approving a maneuver that prevents the VAT increase for 23 billion euros: we must make an extra effort and safeguard the agricultural and food supply chains that would still be penalized by the sugar tax ".

Renzi: "Plastic and sugar taxes are madness, poor people pay for it"
