ROMA (ITALPRESS) – The Meloni government is preparing to cross the finish line of the longest running of the history of the Republic. A result that, for Forza Italia, is first and foremost the result of the stability of the central-right coalition, now called to use the remaining months of the legislature to complete the government program.
Among the priorities indicated by the party of Antonio Tajani are above all the reduction of fiscal pressure, the reform of bureaucracy, the support for exports and a budgetary law able to look also at the next legislature. “The main thing is the success of the centre-right coalition, whose stability has produced several positive effects and has been appreciated by international markets,” says Forza Italia spokesman Raffaele Nevi, in an interview with Italpress.
“We had a very low spread and a precise direction of the centreright on the most important issues.” For Nevi, the budget of the executive also includes the ability to bring to the center of the agenda the battles of Forza Italia, “from the right justice to that on the decrease of taxes, to the setting on the issue of immigration”, always “discutting everything with the allies, sometimes even in a harsh way, but always managing to find a synthesis”. A model that “comes from the example of Berlusconi, who always said that the fundamental thing was the unity of the coalition.”.
If there is a regret, it is instead linked to the referendum on justice. “We remain of the idea that the reform remains important, even to be reproposed perhaps with an even wider consensus,” he said. “We have to double our efforts, to achieve a fairer justice, with better performance, in which there is more balance between prosecution and defence, the judge is truly third and there is a chance for the citizen to face the process more serenely.”.
Looking at the coming months, Forza Italia is determined to complete the program of government, “in the awareness that the international crisis in place, which unfortunately could not be expected, certainly affects the ability to do everything we would like”.
The absolute priority remains the fisco. “For Forza Italia it is essential to decrease taxes even if we are proud that we managed to lower Irpef and wedge tax of 20 billion a year. Italy remains one of the countries in the world where tax pressure is higher and this affects both the consumption capacity of households and the growth capacity of enterprises.”.
Next to the fisco, Nevi indicates the reform of the bureaucracy – on which “the very much has been done, as Minister Zangrillo said, but we want to go ahead” – and the support to export, from which they pass “the development of this country, the growth of enterprises and the occupation.
In the calendar of the last months of the legislature, the central game will be that of the next budgetary law”
The goal is to “write a finance that speaks of the future and that you impose the work of the coming years. We’ll see what tax spaces will be,” but “for us it’s essential that taxes still be reduced to families and businesses and they put money on those who deserve it.”.
Among the hypotheses are the detaxation of the tredicesime, the intervention on the Irpef scaglione to 33% up to 60,000 euros of income and an intervention on the auto stamp, “because with the cost of gasoline at these levels could be a structural measure to solve or attenuate the problems we have”. The bottom line, the blue spokesman insists, is to promote investments. “We want to build a tax that asks who wants to invest in our country”, a vision far from that of the left. “We are of the idea that, before redistributing wealth, we must produce it.” Of the hypothesis of a contribution on the banks raised by the League “if it talks about it, because if an ally puts a theme we talk about it”, explains Nevi. But FI’s position doesn’t change: “We think it is a wrong measure, it would be better to follow the path of a voluntary contribution as we have done in recent years. Those who produce important profits must not be punished, indeed.”.
The fear is that an increase in taxation induces a rebound effect, leading banks to increase spending on current accounts, mortgages and citizens: “it is exactly the opposite of what we would like.” As for the duration of the government, Nevi excludes at the moment the hypothesis of an early return to the polls. “I don’t see the reason, we want to get to the end of the legislature.” Not to pursue the duration record, precise, but “because we want to carry out the work we have set”. Electoral law is considered an instrument to ensure stability and to ensure that the citizen is “the protagonist of the choice of those who must govern the country”. At the next elections, the goal of Forza Italia is to “take as many votes as possible”.
The goal set by Secretary Tajani by 20%, remembers Nevi, is ambitious, but it is a result in reach because “there is a potential basin of 20% to reach”. Much will depend on the party’s ability to “aggregate a whole series of formations that refer to popularism, even European”. The longevity record, for Forza Italia, is not a point of arrival. “We are already thinking about how to address the next legislature with the experience that comes from these five years of government,” Nevi concludes, keeping the essential condition for the future of the centre-right, “the unity of the coalition”.
