09 February 2021 Mario Draghi closes the second round of consultations, collects the green light of the main political forces in Parliament and continues to maintain a very strict reserve on names, nature of government and timing.
But it leaves traces and clues about the government's program to come.
The news of the day (in addition to the more obvious battle against tax evasion) concerns taxes: yesterday Draghi had indicated the tax reform as a key element, along with that of the public administration and civil justice, to obtain the funds of the Recovery.
Today the former president of the ECB clarifies: no flat tax, the workhorse of the Lega di Matteo Salvini and part of the Confindustria, but fiscal progressivity, with a reshaping of rates and without increasing the burden on taxpayers.
In short, reshape the rates but maintaining a progressive system without adding new taxes.
The detailed program, says Draghi, will be illustrated in Parliament.
Draghi repeats to party leaders the firm pro-European and Atlanticist framework of the executive, confirming that to create jobs it will be necessary to relaunch public works and reopen construction sites.
And he adds, another novelty compared to yesterday, that he will work to rationalize subsidies at work, without eliminating them, but simplifying them.
The themes of economy, work and growth will be at the center of the meetings that the appointed Prime Minister will have tomorrow with all the social partners (from industrialists to trade unions, from traders to environmental associations).
The vaccination campaign is also at the top of the priorities of the Draghi agenda, he repeated to the parties: the goal is to improve logistics and distribution to vaccinate as many people as possible in a reasonable time, favoring teachers among the categories that must have the priority in accessing the vaccine.
The second round of
Berlusconi
and
Grillo
consultations
in the Chamber, on the day when the prime minister in charge illustrated to the major political forces the essential programmatic points of his eventual future government, from Europe to the environment, from vaccines to school.
All according to the program in the positions of the parties, with the only refusal to trust the
Brothers of Italy
, which however is waiting to see the complete picture (program and team) to decide between abstention and voting against.
Those who will have to wait for the vote of the members on the
Rousseau
platform
to give the green light to the new executive or not is the
5 Star Movement
, with the political leader
Vito Crimi
who says he is reassured by Draghi on the hypothesis of a super ministry for environmental transition energy and citizenship income.
"We have received various assurances, now we also evaluate the type of structure that can be outlined in this government and we rely on the judgment of the members. We count on collective intelligence to serve the interests of the whole country and not the interest of someone".
"We found very positive the choice of a Europeanism intended as a vindication of the history of the European dream, and the prospect of a further leap forward in the integration of Europe up to a further transfer of sovereignty for an integration that leads to European institutions again stronger ", says the secretary of the
Democratic Party
,
Nicola Zingaretti
, after the interview with the president in charge.
Moving on to the
center
-
right
field
,
Forza Italia's
number one
, Silvio Berlusconi (returning after a year in the capital and greeted by applause in Montecitorio), declared after the interview: "I confirmed our support to the president in charge with the solicitation to adopt high profile choices taking into account the indications of the parties but deciding in full autonomy. What is born is a government without any foreclosure, the response to a great emergency, and will last for the time necessary to overcome this serious health, social and economic crisis " .
Yes, also convinced by the
Lega
: "We have not talked about ministers, undersecretaries, technical or political governments and we will not do it because we have faith in Draghi, so ask the following delegation for these things, if Rousseau allows it", explains the leader of the Northern League,
Matteo Salvini
, with polemical reference to pentastellates.
"We are interested - adds Salvini - that Italy should be interested in an Italian and European perspective: therefore, no to austerity, European-style immigration policies, good border management and the fight against human trafficking such as those of Spain, France, Germany, Slovenia. I told Draghi that it was one thing to use the loans with the Conte government which did not share anything, another is to be protagonists in the management of these funds and in this sense we are interested in being protagonists ".
"
Fdi's
approach
is pragmatic, we don't agree on how this government was born, but we help out in the interest of the country. Maybe Mario Draghi could discover that there is someone more loyal to the opposition than some piece of its majority, it seems to me that we are already fighting "underlines cryptic
Giorgia Meloni
, reiterating the no of the Brothers of Italy to trust.
Inside also
Leu
who reconfirms "the willingness to accept the appeal of President Mattarella and to proceed with the dialogue in the ways he deems".
Federico Fornaro
said this
, arguing that it was "a purely programmatic meeting. Our hope is that the three forces of the alliance, M5S, Pd and Leu, can agree on a univocal attitude on establishing a Draghi government.
And for
Italia Viva.
,
Teresa Bellanova
declares that "with Matteo Renzi we have expressed our total support for the program structure and the choices that Draghi will carry out, with great attention to the vaccination plan that must be strengthened rapidly with attention to the world of school".
"We strongly share the principles pro-European that this government will have, we really want this government to achieve the result, we say it from the heart.
Our group was born with an appeal from Mattarella to builders, then President Mattarella made a second appeal to make this government necessary for Italy and we are pleased to see that 90% of the Italian Parliament has become pro-European and builder, for this is very important to us ", underlines Senator
Riccardo Merlo
, representing the
Europeanist Group - MAIE -
Senate
Democratic Center
, a group that was born a few weeks ago to support the prospect of a
Conte Ter
government
.
Hypothesis postponement Rousseau Postpone
the video on Rousseau platform, to give the base a few more elements to decide. This is one of the hypotheses reasoned by the M5S leaders with Beppe Grillo. Additional time to address a more defined question at the base, on the program and also the model of governance, if entirely technical or halfway between the technician and the politician, on the so-called Ciampi model. A post from the guarantor of the M5S should come out shortly, but the hypothesis of
a referral is on the table.
Recovery: the League votes yes in the European Parliament
The League votes yes to the regulation on the Recovery and Resilience Facility, the heart of Next Generation Eu.
"Having acknowledged the commitment that there will be no increase in the tax burden, that the austerity season is finally over, that the old parameters of tears and blood will be re-discussed and that a new season will open for the use of Recovery funds , let's take the opportunity to bring Italy back into the lead. We will vote in favor of the Recovery Resilience Facility to give substance to the new phase that is about to begin ", say the MEPs of the Lega Marco Zanni, president of the ID group, and Marco Campomenosi, head of delegation of the League in the European Parliament.
Previously the League was oriented towards abstention, like Brothers of Italy.
