ROMA (ITALPRESS) – “Everything divides me from Pedro Sanchez, but the tax on bank profits created by Spain is a “on the field” test that shows that you can do. In Madrid it did not bring any disaster, but indeed it provided a good jet without depressing the growth of the sector”. To speak, in an interview with Milano Finanza is the vice-premier, minister of Infrastructures and Transports and leader of the League, Matteo Salvini, underlining that the proposal to “ask large banks a 5% contribution on profits does not mean penalizing the sector nor questioning its solidity, but asking those who have earned more to contribute a little more”.
For Salvini it is “a principle of equity: in years when families and enterprises have paid much higher interest rates, the banking system has achieved useful records”.
For the League, Salvini emphasizes, “it is necessary to put an end to the constant reform of pensions and to work to have simpler and fairer parameters. We are studying a change that could be definitive, allowing early retirement to 64 years for all, provided you access it with the contributory system. Of course, it would be a possibility limited to those who wanted it and would not have any difficulty in sustenance. Another parameter very requested by our voters is the possible extension to 100,000 euros of the flat tax for the self-employed. Until today the EU has opposed, but we will try again. Finally, I would like to see some strong measures in favour of birth and families. It is one of the great Italian emergencies and I hope that the maneuver will go decisively in that direction.”.
As for the bridge on the Strait “only in the construction phase, the investment of 13,5 billion euros will determine a positive impact on the pil of more than 23 billion total. The exercise phase, in addition to lowering the costs of insularity for Sicily, equal to more than 7 billion a year, will activate a multiplier of development destined to create extraordinary relapses, even greater than any positive expectation, on the industrial and economic system of the country. As for the times, those of construction are established by the contract in 7.5 years.”.
About Mps Salvini emphasizes that “Monte dei Paschi di Siena is the oldest bank in the world and therefore cannot be treated as “a normal bank”. It is part of the history of Italy and must be protected as a work of art. Mps is also a symbol: a reminder of the malages of the left, which destroyed what neither wars and plague had managed to break down, but also a symbol of our good government: saving the bank was one of the first acts of the legislature, in 2022. For me, Mps would have been able to remain state-owned, at the service of the territory, and we would have earned us not too little, but the European rules forced us to sell. Asking that history, identity and employees are preserved is the minimum.”.
“We look carefully – he adds – to the movements of the Italian banking system. I am not convinced that the creation of ever larger and more distant mega-groups from the needs of the territories has brought particular advantages to the currentists and our small and medium-sized enterprises, which have always had valuable relationships with proximity banks. For this reason we look with interest to the possibility that more banking policies are created, protecting history, autonomy, employment and bond with the territories”.
