ROMA (ITALPRESS) – The proposal on taxing extra profits “is ready because we have been studying for months”. This was said by the League leader and vicepremier, Matteo Salvini, interviewed by “IlSussidiario.net”. “We do not want to intervene on profits in general, but on the difference between active and passive interests – continues -. And it’s billions. If we did as in Spain – where there is a government far from me -, starting from 5% we would take home at least 2 billion a year. In the first three years Sßnchez obtained 5 billion and Spanish banks continue to straguadagnate.” On the danger of a possible escape of capital, it minimizes: “It’s nonsense. If this year we have about 40-42 billion profit, 5% is 2 billion. We do not forget that banks are companies that work with state guarantees, have fired thousands of employees and closed thousands of branches. I am a fairly “protected” enterprise, we say so, with little to fear. Forward all, therefore, without remorse. Those who have, at a delicate moment, can give more.”.
For Salvini, it will be put on the table “even a budgetary shake. I intend to propose it in the next few days. We do not need the Brussels ok, we need a national choice, because the wars unfortunately go ahead, in Iran as in Ukraine. Everyone rightly speaks of the cost of fuels, but as minister of Infrastructures I must face increases for billion euros of the prices of materials: tar, steel, cement, without speaking of the necessary energy”. And adds: “They need at least 20 billion. I myself, for the Ministry of Infrastructures and Transport, would need at least 6 or 7 billion only to compensate for the increase in prices compared to the contracts I have awarded. In September I risk the stop of several large yards. We can certainly not ask for this money to craftsmen, VAT matches, small businesses,” he concludes.
