BOLOGNA. Cut taxes for those who live and work in the mountains: this is the request that Emilia-Romagna sends to Parliament to approve advantageous tax rules to support the Apennines. This morning the Legislative Assembly approved the bill in the centre-left Chambers to introduce a tax ‘free zone’ in mountain areas. As announced yesterday in a very ‘sparkling’ session, the Brothers of Italy and the League chose not to vote on the measure. Yes however, in addition to the centre-left, also from the 5 Star Movement. “In recent years we have dedicated ourselves a lot to the mountains. In the Senate – recalls Marta Evangelisti of Fdi – a proposal to protect the mountains is being discussed, which is combined with various bills, including two signed by us.
«We do not accept lessons from this Region which only wakes up today with a flag measure». On the opposite side, the dem Massimo Bulbi: «The current deputy minister Bignami also proposed this provision, and rightly so, when he was on the benches of this Assembly». The Region, claims Silvia Piccinini of the 5 stars, “can act to stop or contain depopulation, to strengthen road infrastructures to guarantee services”. Favorable vote also from Green Europe (“a proposal which has within itself the important theme of the fight against depopulation, fundamental for the environmental stability of the mountains”, says Silvia Zamboni), Italia viva (a “targeted proposal which could lead to a recall in the mountain areas of medical professionals”, confides Pasquale Gerace), while for Federico Amico di Coraggiosa “not participating in the vote is like escaping from responsibilities”.
