For the president of Confindustria Carlo Bonomi, the next budget law that the Government is preparing to launch today "

lacks a

strong intervention on the tax wedge

: a shock intervention is needed", he said at the assembly of Confindustria Genoa.

Where to find the resources: "Below 35,000 euros, purchasing power has been lost, so the only way is to cut taxes on labor by looking for 16 billion".

Bonomi underlined that "the resources can be found by reconfiguring 4-5 percent of public spending", adding that "in this way one can give an extra month's salary for the whole working life".  

According to the leader of the industrialists "we need

to focus on the country's priorities

: energy, public finance and work. They are emergencies and emergencies: and it is important to act quickly and well. For this, timely, well-written, well-explained interventions are needed".

In his speech, the president of Confindustria warned: "If the new government has difficulty budgeting immediately for a sharp cut on the tax wedge, it could however announce it for 2023 and 2024, but not in words, putting it in writing".

And he adds: "If instead, as I have heard, space is given to early retirements, fake flat taxes and Irpef bonuses, we will not understand it. Because it is clear that

certain interventions are made to respond to electoral promises

while the real emergencies are others".

Positive judgment on the "intention to put

resources on expensive bills for businesses and households

".

Because "fortunately, the resources are there now - she said - thanks to the extra revenue produced in recent years, but what will we do next year with an expected slowdown of 0.6%?"

For Bonomi, the "gas release" is also positive because increasing national gas production is important. However, we are perplexed because someone wants to prevent the

Piombino regasification terminal

. Cingolani explained well that it is needed within the first three months of 2023. In Germany, while we are still discussing it they made one in two hundred days and it is already starting up".

Furthermore, Bonomi appreciates the government's intention to "

keep the bar straight on public finances without losing the Draghi plan

on debt reduction".

But "we also need to reflect on social spending - he added - because in recent years it has doubled, but the number of poor people has also doubled. Paying attention to public debt means paying attention to the country's interests".
