“Today I met Deputy Minister Leo, we discussed the contents” of the ministerial decree on the income meter and “we came to the conclusion that it is better to suspend” the provision “while awaiting further investigations”. Thus Giorgia Meloni in a video released on social media.
“Our objective is and remains to combat the great evasion and the unacceptable phenomenon, for example, of those who pretend to have nothing but go around in an SUV, or go on holiday with a yacht, without however oppressing people with invasive rules municipalities”, says the prime minister in the video on social media.
ANSA Agency Ruffini: ‘The income meter has always been a residual tool’ – News – Ansa.it ‘Used only when no other elements are available’ (ANSA)“No “big fiscal brother” will ever be introduced by this Government. I have always been against invasive income measurement mechanisms applied to ordinary people”. Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni wrote it on social media explaining that “the implementation of the fiscal delegation, carried out in particular by the Deputy Minister of Economy Leo, has so far gone in the direction of improving the relationship between State and citizen, protecting honest workers and combating large-scale tax evasion, which, so to speak, self-styled have-nots with villas, boats and supercars. We will continue in this direction, always on the side of the citizens.”
“On the latest decree recently passed by the Mef which in its intentions delimits the verification action of the financial administration, I will personally discuss with the Deputy Minister Leo, who I have also asked to come and report to the next Council of Ministers. And if they are necessary changes, I will be the first to ask for them”, added Meloni regarding the so-called income meter.
“The income meter doesn’t work: it is an obsolete and outdated tool that the left likes and creates a lot of disputes – says the Foreign Minister and leader of Forza Italia, Antonio Tajani -. I will do everything to ensure that it is abolished. At the next Council of Ministers I will present the proposal to repeal it. I will talk to Leo and ask for its abolition.”
“Everyone has spoken about the income meter. I believe that what Deputy Minister Leo wanted to say is quite clear. The League is firmly against the old income meter, as invented by the Renzi government – said the Undersecretary for the Economy Federico Freni -, and I have not doubts that we will go down this path. The government will make its assessments. The lines on what we are for and what we are against seem clear to me, as the Prime Minister and the League said yesterday, that this government does not have any something like that in your DNA.”
With an agenda for the Superbonus decree the League “commits the government to clarify the scope of the ministerial decree, confirming the overcoming of the income meter institute”. The amendment speaks of the “worrying media resonance around an old vision of the relationship between taxpayers and administration” following the publication of the ministerial decree in the Official Journal on May 20th. The League, yes specifies, “he has always believed that inductive tools”, such as the income meter, “do not offer tangible and concrete benefits in the dutiful fight against tax evasion”.
Conte attacks: ‘He’s making fun of us’. Schlein: ‘They are divided’
“Hear, listen. Meloni now announces that he will save you from the income meter, from the ‘big fiscal brother’. This is what he says. But the Meloni Government included the income meter in the published decree. Was he asleep or ‘was Conte’ on this too? In whose hands are we? They think that citizens are naive, to be deceived. Like on the ballot paper with fake nominations. Like when they act like lions by announcing taxes on banks on social media and then secretly transform themselves into cute bunnies who don’t even ask for 1. euros out of 28 billion in profits for large institutions while mortgages explode for citizens. Enough with the mockery.” The leader of the M5s Giuseppe Conte writes it on X.
“The government is divided on many issues, they are less good at hiding it in this election campaign, one pulls here, one pulls that.” PD secretary Elly Schlein said this at an event at Cna in Rome, answering a question about the income meter.
