“We are currently making an effort to seek, very laboriously, financial coverage to postpone the entry into force” of the sugar tax “to January 1, 2025”. “I believe that we will get there in the end, but I believe that this is not the central theme of economic policy in this country.” The Minister of Economy said this, Giancarlo Giorgetti, speaking at the ‘Day of Truth’.
The postponement of the Plastic tax to 2026 is confirmed. “Yes, in the maxi-amendment presented there is the postponement to 2026 of the plastic tax which does not come into force but no one thanked me for this, I thank myself alone”. This was said by the Minister of Economy, Giancarlo Giorgetti, interviewed on ‘Il giorno della Verità’.
The superbonus is “an exceptional measure for exceptional times” and “we must get out of this type of economic drug”, added the Minister of Economy interviewed by the director of La Verità, Maurizio Belpietro. “Unfortunately, detoxification is painful, but someone has to do it, someone has to order it, taking into account that those who are most interested in it and benefit from it do not agree. We need to get away from drugs, drugs are not a good thing. So I hope that a definitive point must truly be made and it is right and also my duty as Minister of Economy and Finance to clarify the situation”.
Giorgetti then highlighted that “the data are now clear, it is clear that in the next four years, or even in the next ten years if the amendment under discussion passes, At present we will have an impact of approximately 30 billion every year for the next four years“. He then clarified that his calculations are “net of the normal construction deductions that have always been implemented in this country”.

It is therefore “about 150 billion more than the ordinary deductions that have always been made since ’96, which are the ones we are returning to in a detoxification process, i.e. the deductions in the tax return in ten years for a percentage of jobs”. “What is no longer acceptable because it makes no sense – concluded Giorgetti – is giving 110% paid by the State at prices defined by the parties in which the State is not present and cannot even regulate”.
The new Stability Pact, Giorgetti underlined, will define “a path that becomes very difficult to honor for a highly indebted country with high interest rates like Italy. We are confident that on the one hand interest rates will finally fall, and I I believe that the process will begin soon. On the other hand, we must make a serious examination of the expenses we can afford, cutting everything we can cut that is not productive. It is an effort that politics must make seriously.”
“From June I hope that the decline” in interest rates will begin, continued the head of Economy. “Let’s say that with Lagarde there is a nice dialectic that began about a year and a half ago – he added -, in which I observed that in my opinion inflation in Italy and Europe did not depend on the overheating of the economy but on the trend of energy prices and therefore a tightening of monetary policy was of no use”.
“Everyone does their own job Lagarde is being bad by being governor of the ECB, I’m trying to be bad by defending Italy’s interests, acting as Minister of Economy – he continued -. I am convinced that rates must fall and will fall because this is the logic and the reality, we have an inflation that is now around 2.5%, if we want to reach a recession, I’m not talking about inflation but about depreciation, I don’t think so. that it is a realistic scenario neither for us nor for the ECB”.
Superbonus: Tajani, without changes no from Forza Italia in the commission
“We will vote against if the Superbonus decree is not modified.” Forza Italia secretary Antonio Tajani said this on the sidelines of the meeting with Confcommercio in Rome, speaking about the amending amendments presented by Fi and the vote in the Commission. “If positive solutions are found – he added – I am always ready to compromise. Our senators have been ready to discuss things since this morning”.

“There is the content of an amendment presented by the Mef, not at all agreed upon by me who am the vice-president of the Council and who represents one of the majority parties. It’s not that I am bound to say yes if I am not consulted. If I had been consulted I would have said my first opinion. Since we have to say it in Parliament, we will say in Parliament what we think.”
“We have presented amendments – he continued – but there is nothing dramatic. Only the defense of two principles: no retroactive law and no increase in taxes for citizens. So we will vote against if it is not modified. The impositions that are From the outside they don’t agree with me.”
