«Be more careful» (and the income meter will be discussed again after the European Championships, with Salvini and Tajani)

The Redditometer is back in the drawers of the Ministry of Economy and will remain there for a few more weeks. After the verdict of the European Championships, Giorgia Meloni will lock herself in a room in Palazzo Chigi with her family vice Salvini and Tajani and, on that day, the three leaders of the main majority parties will decide the fate of the fiscal instrument he made dance the mazurka to the government.

Having closed the incident in front of public opinion, the prime minister in the meeting metaphorically (and energetically) pulled the ears of his ministers: “We have to be more careful not to fall in political and media traps of this magnitude, on important issues such as taxation – this is the meaning of the warning -. Once the omelette is done, it is difficult to construct a valid counter-narrative.”

A severe lecture, which was not only addressed to the deputy minister Maurizio Leo, signatory of the ministerial decree then stopped and which reveals the right-wing leader’s apprehension about the latest turns of the electoral campaign. Some polls show a decline in voting intentions for FdI and in Palazzo Chigi there is still regret for the missed TV duel with Elly Schlein, which would have reawakened the interest of an electorate inclined to abstention. This is also explained Meloni’s appeal to his ministers, during a CDM in which there were many empty chairs for the Festival of Economy in Trento and electoral commitments up and down Italy.

Beyond Lollobrigida, Nordio, Santanché, Sangiuliano, Pichetto Fratin And Crosettostill at rest due to health problems, Tajani was not there and it was Anna Maria Bernini to represent the demands of Forza Italia. And it was precisely the intervention of the head of the University, who asked for “an amendment to overcome the Redditometer”, that triggered the leader’s recommendations.

Those sitting at the large round table summed it up like this: «I understand that the challenge of European we fight with the proportional system, but we cannot forget that we are here to lead the nation. We are all good at claiming issues that are dear to our electorates and at relaunching compared to the other majority parties… But we can’t play whoever shoots the hardest».

In short, it is also fine to wave flags, Meloni concedes, “as long as the general interest is not lost sight of”. And here even Matteo Salvini, protagonist with Tajani of the verbal assault on Palazzo Chigi and via XX Settembre to cancel the Incomemetersupported the prime minister: «It is right to suspend the topic of the most suitable fiscal instrument and resume the evaluation after the European Championships, avoiding tabling amendments now.” Also because, Meloni commented, «we wouldn’t know which amendment would provideI can’t hang it up.” The problem remains, also because the head of government has acknowledged “his” deputy minister be right on the merits.

«The mistake was having let the election go, in the middle of the election campaign wrong narrative of a new Redditometer – argued Meloni -. But it is clear that we must continue to combat the great tax evasion and those who declare themselves to be penniless but have a boat and travel around in an SUV.” There is the risk, as Maurizio Leo explained, that organized crime takes advantage of any regulatory loopholes and there is the need, shared by the president, to «protect families and honest taxpayers».

The meeting served to tighten the bolts of the majority also with regards to the House and Senate groups. The Minister for Relations with Parliament, Luca Cirianialarmed his colleagues fearing the risk of a «August 15th traffic jam», caused by too many expiring decrees. Ciriani essentially asked to «respect the direction and the times and avoid overloading the government decrees with amendments signed by the majority parties».
