no to documents without figures –

Not an economic and financial document without a real analysis of the impact of the planned measures, but containing only trend estimates. On the eve of the Council of Ministers which, convened for Tuesday morning, should launch the Def, the opposition warns the executive about the rumors circulating on the content of the text that will be released by the CDM. Maria Cecilia Guerra, head of Labor at the national secretariat of the Democratic Party and former undersecretary for the Economy, recalls that «the content of the Economic and Financial Document is not optional, it is not a choice of the government of the moment. It is regulated by law. A »light« DEF, without a programmatic part, would therefore simply be against the law. Does the government really want to go that far?” Nicola Fratoianni and Angelo Bonelli of Alleanza Verdi Sinistra also share the same opinion: «Never, I repeat never, had a government published clearly and precisely in the Def the objectives for the state accounts – explains Fratoianni – And in doing so it will not make Italians understand the dimensions of the economic maneuver. And this only happens because the right in government doesn’t want to let Italians know before the European elections that so far they have only been bluffing.”

For Bonelli “it is a political maneuver that plays with the budget of millions of Italian families, leaving them in the dark about how the Government intends to honor commitments made in the past, such as cutting the tax wedge and merging rates”. But Alessandro Cattaneo, of Forza Italia, assured L’Aria che Tira in the morning that «The Def numbers will be there, obviously they will be numbers with the updates that will be postponed to the second semester. This Government pays great attention to public finances, starting with the follies of the Superbonus 110 where we put a patch: both the Def and all the economic measures are aimed at maintaining an order that makes us credible for Europe and the financial markets” .
