Deputy Minister of the Economy Maurizio Leo announced that a new director of the Revenue Agency will be appointed by Christmas, emphasising the importance of changing course on taxation and reaching out to taxpayers, but remaining inflexible with those who commit fraud. The announcement was made while speaking at Atreju at the panel 'Fiscal Revolution: a new pact with Italians'. However, the Fratelli d'Italia event was also attended by Justice Minister Carlo Nordio, who spoke about justice reform, Confindustria President Emanuele Orsini, and the Minister for Enterprise and Made in Italy, Adolfo Urso, who opened a debate on the crisis in the automotive sector.

Meloni surprise on Atreju stage welcomes Lebanese PM Mikati

Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni appeared on the Atreju stage as a surprise to announce an interview with the Lebanese premier, Najib Mikati. The premier was greeted by the audience at the Fratelli d'Italia kermesse with choruses of encouragement: "Giorgia, Giorgia!" they shouted, to which she responded with a smile. Meloni then took a seat in the front row to listen to Mikati's speech.

Leo: Revenue Agency interprets change of course on taxation

"We want to make sure that there is peace of mind in the financial administration and that we actually interpret this change of course that we want to make, and that on the part of all the staff of the financial administration there is an awareness that we want to reach out to taxpayers by definitely being unyielding with those who do fraud, simulations and so on. This is a sentiment that everyone in the financial administration must have'. This was said by the deputy minister of the Economy Maurizio Leo, speaking at Atreju at the panel 'Fiscal Revolution: a new pact with the Italians', referring to the replacement of the director of the Revenue Agency after the demission of Ernesto Maria Ruffini.

Leo: by Christmas the director of the Revenue Agency

'By Christmas' the Revenue Agency will have a new director after the resignation of Ernesto Maria Ruffini. This was stated by Deputy Minister for the Economy Maurizio Leo, speaking at Atreju at the panel 'Fiscal Revolution: a new pact with the Italians'. "We are working on it with Minister Giorgetti and President Meloni," Leo explained, and "I think we will succeed by Christmas. Ruffini has made choices, he has left the Revenue Agency, for a path, I believe, first and foremost personal,' the deputy minister commented. 'I do not know if he will pursue a political career. Until now we have worked absolutely with complete transparency. Now, clearly, leaving the financial administration will be his own path'.

Fiscus: Leo, agreement not a flop, result quite good

"We are still doing the math, but the most interesting data is related to the fact that a good portion of the taxpayers who have adhered were below 8' in the tax report card, these are 'subjects that have somehow emerged'. Thus the Deputy Minister for the Economy Maurizio Leo, asked about the agreement on the sidelines of Atreju. "I wouldn't say it was a flop,' he specified, 'I would say it was definitely a mechanism that aims to bring out the submerged and the result is quite good.

Nordio: if referendum no result? Consequences would be there

In the event of a referendum on the constitutional reform and a result in favour of the government not being achieved 'there would be consequences'. This was stated by Justice Minister Carlo Nordio at the debate on Separation of careers: a reform that Italy has been waiting for for thirty years - The Italian way to fair, more efficient and more effective justice, at Atreju. If 'such an important referendum on justice, which I hope for because on such a delicate subject the last word should be given to the people' and which I hope will take place 'in rational and not emotional terms' were to be rejected.....certain consequences would arise. But I would not want such a referendum to be personalised 'government yes or government no' tomorrow. It will be neither against the judiciary nor against the government'.

Nordio: Davigo protagonist Mani Pulite is now a defendant

"I am the first to advocate the presumption of innocence, which in my opinion is a bulwark. What I can say as a citizen is that a public prosecutor's office that for decades was considered somewhat of a symbol of the Italian judiciary has in a way contributed to the now palpable collapse of the judiciary's credibility. We had a protagonist of Mani pulite who was definitively condemned. Davigo is by now, technically speaking according to his own words used against Craxi in his time, a convicted criminal and we are talking about one of the pillars of the most important public prosecutor's office in Italy after the one in Rome'. This was stated by Justice Minister Carlo Nordio at the debate on 'Separation of careers: a reform that Italy has been waiting for for thirty years - The Italian way to a fair, more efficient and more effective justice', at Atreju.

Conte: M5S not left-wing but independent progressives

"If I am left-wing? Complex discourse, I'll summarise it: if left today means fighting the current government in the sole name of anti-fascism I'm not in, if left means that you can welcome everyone indiscriminately I'm not in, if it means that you only care about those who live in good neighbourhoods, in the Ztl I'm not in. The community preferred the definition independent progressives'. This was said by M5s leader Giuseppe Conte interviewed at the Atreju party by Mario Sechi. "We," he added, "have a different vision from that of the right and we work to build a government alternative. But we are convinced that we must fight the many injustices in the country in an effective way.
