The center-right risks going under in the votes on Superbonus decreeso Fratelli d’Italia improvises a stratagem to guarantee their numbers: increase from 19 to 20 the components of Finance Commission of the Senate. The blitz took place on Tuesday afternoon, when a communication signed by the group leader Lucio Malan and addressed to the president of the assembly arrived from the Melonian party Ignazio La Russa: the senator Salvatore Sallemi, we read, “ceases to be part of the Justice Commission and joins as a member of the Finance Commission”. A hastily decided move to consolidate the majority and neutralize the risk that the sub-amendments presented by Forza Italiaespecially the one for abolish retroactivity of the ten-year extension of the deductions decided by the government (“spreading” the state debts). However, opposition arises, remembering that by regulation the variation is valid communicated to the House. And so here is the new piece: the work is suspended to resume at 5pm, taking advantage of the plenary session scheduled for 4pm. At the meeting La Russa announced the change, specifying however that the new composition will be in force from Wednesday.

“It’s the last step of a crazy management, amateurish and anti-democratic; the government has no idea of ​​economic policy, it aims only and exclusively to raise cash from citizens and businesses, trampling on every minimum principle of legitimate expectations. Scandalous”, denounces the 5 star group leader on social media Stefano Patuanelli. The president of the Dem senators was also very harsh Francesco Boccia: “We are witnessing the technical rehearsals for the premiership. The FdI group has just announced, on the eve of the vote on the amendments to the superbonus, that it has added a member to the Finance Commission. Legitimate. But doing so on the eve of an important vote and without having first communicated it to the chamber is one thing obvious forcing. Which smacks of fear of going under in the vote and of absolute indifference for democratic rules and parliamentary regulations. The majority is increasingly leading institutions and the country on the Orbàn road“, he attacks.
