The government collects the confidence on the maxi-amendment to the Senate House. The votes in favor were 166, those against 128, no abstentions.

The vote continues with the Update note to the budget dismissed by the CDM and then with the final vote.

Renzi: yes to trust, but government will change direction
"We do not deny the confidence in the government but we ask for a change of pace so that 2020 is the year of the restart" said the leader of Italy Viva Matteo Renzi intervening in the Chamber during the voting declarations on trust in the budget law.

"Parliament will have to stop plastic and sugar tax"
"On the plastic tax and the sugar tax, Parliament will have to intervene in the coming months. The plastic tax will not allow the seas to be cleaner but the workers to live with greater difficulty. The same is true for the sugar tax. Italians, "Renzi said. "We need to discuss Italy over the next ten years and not about simplistic and demagogic measures," he added.

Romeo (League): Conte liquidator commissioner of Italy
"Conte looks more and more like the liquidator commissioner of Italy, perhaps appointed by Macron and Merkel, other than the people's lawyer, under the supervision of the eye of the great frotto of Rocco Casalino" said the president of the senators of the League Massimiliano Romeo, intervening in declaration: "More than the Papeete's account - he underlined - the Italians are paying today the accounts of seven years of government of the Pd. You could have stopped you avoiding the increase of the VAT. But you have wanted to put yours and then it is the all-tax maneuver arrived ".

Manca (Pd): helps Italy to start growing again
"Of course the growth is still insufficient but this maneuver reverses the trend and above all gives our country a very different credibility in Europe. Salvini had isolated our country. In that there was the failure of the previous government and it is by framework that Salvini our government is born with the assumption of responsibility that we take towards families, businesses, citizens.This maneuver has a vision: it puts more money in the pockets of workers, reduces the tax burden, abolishes the health superticket, makes nursery schools free, fights tax evasion, environmental reconversion is one of its cornerstones, it gives more resources to municipalities, we certainly wanted to do more but finally we reverse a trend, even if we have to sterilize the 23 billion clauses for VAT, and we help Italy start growing again ". Thus Senator Daniele Manca, leader of the Democratic Party in the Budget Committee at Palazzo Madama, in his explanation of vote on the budget maneuver.

Bernini (Fi): is the maneuver of negative records
"This is the negative record maneuver: it arrived in Parliament in mid-December, increases taxes, deficits and debt, affects homes, businesses and consumption and ultimately brings the country to its knees. Born with the excuse of avoiding the increase VAT, the government has actually signed a maxi-ambit on the shoulders of the Italians, who will find themselves in the two-year period 2021-2022 a very heavy legacy between safeguard clauses and excise duties: a 47 billion blow, taxes on plastic and sugar, then, they will penalize the consumptions especially of the less well-off. More taxes, more handcuffs and no investments: a disaster caused by the four left to the government. This is stated by Anna Maria Bernini, president of the senators of Forza Italia.

Calandrini: FdI votes No. It will make Italy lose another year
"Brothers of Italy will vote against this maneuver that nobody likes, to the economic and social categories, but also to the same majority that has presented thousands of amendments precisely against the same Budget law of its government". Thus the senator of Fratelli d'Italia, Nicola Calandrini, group leader in the Budget Committee during the FdI vote declaration on confidence in the Budget law.

"This maneuver does not address Italy's problems, but rather it will cause our nation to lose another year. Fratelli d'Italia has approached this Budget law proactively, managing to approve a series of amendments that have responded to the weaker categories, but unfortunately we must denounce the existence of a typical ideological prejudice of the left, which permeates this maneuver and which has led it to rage against VAT numbers, professionals, traders and artisans considered regardless of tax evaders. maneuver which, on the one hand, affects citizens by complicating their lives with dozens of taxes and, on the other, continues to increase the debt to support the income of citizenship, without making investments and supporting businesses. no ', Senator Calandrini concludes.

From 100 to another 300 mln savings in 2020 - The savings from 100 still increase, due to a lower number of applications for early retirement than those estimated. For 2020 the maxi-amendment to the maneuver provides for another 300 million savings, which add up to the 1.7 billion already charged by the Def. By 2021, further savings rose to 900 million (another 400 had already been estimated), while for 2022 the forecast is 500 million. In total it is 3.8 billion lower expenses for 100 in three years.

In 2021 clauses for 20 billion, 27 in 2022 - By 2021 the government will have to sterilize 20.124 billion clauses, including VAT and excise duties, which become about 27 billion in 2022. This is what we read in the technical report for the maneuver, updated with the changes to the excise tax introduced in the Senate committee. Originally the maneuver reduced the clauses inherited from the previous governments by about 10 billion in 2021 (starting from 28.753) and by about 3 billion in 2022. In 2021, therefore, VAT increases of 18.933 billion and excise duties of 1.221 billion will be blocked.

Stop bonus merit teachers, contract funds - Via the "bonus merit" for teachers introduced by the reform of the Good school, with funds, 200 million a year the allocation, which will be "used by supplementary bargaining in favor of school staff, without further destination constraint ". This is provided for by an M5S amendment signed by the Moronese, reformulated and approved by the Senate Budget Committee in recent days. The norm is one of those left in the 'maxi-amendment'.

Government: summit tonight, no verification but three nodes on the table
Justice, Autonomy and corporate crises. These are the items on the agenda of this evening's government summit at Palazzo Chigi. No verification, therefore, as underlined by the Prime Minister, Giuseppe Conte, responding to rumors circulated in the press that spoke of a potentially fatal redde rationem for the executive. Rather, government sources explain, this is a way to put together the government's roadmap, just hours away from the Senate's approval of the budget.

Immediately after the vote, in fact, the government will meet at Palazzo Madama to approve the note on the budget change, and then move to Palazzo Chigi for the summit.

But if on the one hand a game closes, on the other hand three are opened. On the justice reform and the new prescription, Pd and M5s have come closer in recent days, after a long tug-of-war. The dems want to avoid a halt to the statute of limitations after a conviction at first instance because they believe that this could lead to a paralysis of court activity and above all because it would delay the trials indefinitely. A point of fall seems to have been found in a bill, to be inserted into the reform of the criminal trial or into an ad hoc provision in which certainty of punishment and reasonable duration of the processes are given space. The other 'knot' on the table of Palazzo Chigi is that of differentiated autonomy. Minister Francesco Boccia wanted to insert the text in maneuver, but he met the niet of M5s and Italia Viva who spoke of a 'blitz'.

Tonight, therefore, we will talk about it again during the majority summit and the most accredited hypothesis is that we proceed through a bill to be presented to the Houses in early January. On the contents, internal sources of the majority, they explain that the aim is to close already in the evening. The last and most difficult knot is that of corporate crises that is putting a strain on the government, starting with Ilva.

But the table will also serve to de-mince the grain of the Bari people's after the Council of Ministers which approved the 900 million intervention in favor of Mediocredito with the creation of an investment institute for the south. In short, if it is not a verification of the government's hold, the issues on the table are many and such as not to leave the majority shareholders safe. It is no coincidence that the leader of Italia Viva, Matteo Renzi, specifies that the government is not in danger from now until January. Then, however, we will have to fasten our seat belts: "The maneuver is gone, now it would be better if everyone took a nice vacation, then we start again from January 7. From here to the end of the year I do not see big problems".

In the morning, chaos in the Chamber after stopping cannabis light
In the morning, it was chaos in the Chamber following the judgment of inadmissibility of the rules on the so-called liberalization of cannabis light. The provision, signed by Senator 5S Matteo Mantero and approved by the majority in the Budget Committee, was judged "inadmissible" by Senate President Elisabetta Casellati for "foreignness". The measure envisaged that industrial hemp with a Thc content not exceeding 0.5% was no longer considered as a narcotic substance. The eligibility was sought by the League, which declared war on the measure together with the Brothers of Italy.

Two members of the M5S therefore asked President Casellati to demonstrate that the choice was not the result of "pressure from her political party". The president replied, explaining that it was a "purely technical decision" and added: "If you consider this measure important for the majority, get a bill."

"I want to technically thank the President of the Senate on behalf of all the recovery communities from the dependencies that work in Italy and on behalf of the Italian families for having avoided the shame of the drug dealer State," said Matteo Salvini, speaking in the Senate Chamber after the excerpt from the maneuver of the cannabis light rules.

"It would be a dangerous precedent if the opinion of President Casellati weighed on the Cannabis Light on the inadmissibility judgment. Jobs and tax revenues are at stake, the amendment is perfectly relevant to the Budget Law. The majority has all the will to proceed with legislative provision to protect a growing supply chain that takes resources away from organized crime: the inadmissibility judgment puts this possibility out of the game. We remain willing to solve the problem as soon as possible "said deputy Pd, Lia Quartapelle.
