Banks, Salvini “20 billion profits, we will ask for a contribution at a difficult time”

MILAN (ITALPRESS) – “An economic reality that is not suffering, indeed it is making useful never seen in the previous decades, and I say it with respect, admiration and economic and anthropological curiosity, are the banks. Go to ‘googlare’ the quarterly of Unicredit and Intesa Sanpaolo, the first two banks, but I say it without ideological and socialist grudge, good for them. It is estimated that only the first two Italian banks will close this year, of difficulty for the vast majority of families and enterprises, with 20 billion profit”. It has emphasized the secretary of the League, Matteo Salvini, on the margin of a meeting of the party on the house floor. “Little reflection, an important part of that profit is guaranteed by the state, in the sense that a part of those loans are granted with the guarantee of the state. So it means I’ll get you some money, if it’s all right, I’ll make money if it’s all wrong, and I’m good at doing business like this,” Carroccio’s leader continued.

Therefore, “I am convinced the League on this will be intransigent and propositive – he then specified – will ask banks that are making unprecedented profits and profits a contribution to the economic growth of the country. And maybe we will reinvest in the house plan a part of this useful, not everything, I do not want to take away 20 billion, but a part yes”.

“We wait to see, we wait to understand how this flexibility is given, I was talking about it with Minister Giorgetti. We wait to read how we can spend this money, because we must remember that it is our money, and what kind of stakes there are – added Salvini commenting on the free way of Brussels on measures to counter the energy crisis – Meanwhile it is a step forward, it is a starting point. What was a ‘no, you can’t even spend a euro if not for military expenses until last week now became a yes. We try to understand the yes in what is concrete,” the minister added.

“The same von der Leyen said that the war in Iran costs us 500 million a day. A serious situation – said Salvini again – but they say not bad enough to do extraordinary interventions. Translated: the patient arrives in the emergency room and is serious, but as it is not very serious we wait to intubate and to do the breathing because if it is aggravated further we can proceed, otherwise we keep it serious. A rather curious attitude.”.
