Manoeuvre, Salvini: 'With every bank complaint we ask for an extra billion'

The Lega has relaunched the banks, Forza Italia defends them but insists on short term rentals, the ministries are worried about the cuts: the manoeuvre has not yet begun its course in Parliament and already there is a need to restore some order. And so, in order to take stock and remind everyone of their responsibilities, a new majority summit is scheduled for the next few days, in the presence of Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni. The most accredited hypothesis is that the new meeting could be as early as Tuesday, although it has not yet been officially fixed.

Matteo Salvini's party once again raises its sights and directly attacks the bankers.

"Every extra complaint from the banks is an extra billion that we ask them for. Because part of these profits are guaranteed by the State and therefore by the citizens," said the transport minister and Lega League secretary Matteo Salvini, responding to the polemics of Antonio Patuelli, president of the Italian Banking Association, on the contribution put into the budget. "It is a way," said Salvini on his arrival in Naples, "of doing business whereby if I earn the money is mine, if I lose it is put in by the State and therefore by the citizens. Doing business this way is not normal

«Dalle banche, che fanno guadagni da decine di miliardi arriverà un contributo in più, penso che il contributo possa crescere ancora, sono soldi che possiamo investire. Le mie priorità sono forze dell’ordine, medici e infermieri. Sicurezza e diritto alla salute» ha sottolineato il vicepremier e leader della Lega ribadendo che «se il Governo ti chiede un contributo ad esempio per assumere forze dell’ordine o medici e infermieri, o per rottamare le cartelle dell’Agenzia delle entrate, dovresti solo essere felice di contribuire alla crescita del Paese». In Italia, ha affermato ancora Salvini, «gli unici che non si possono lamentare sono i banchieri. Banche che finiranno quest’anno con 50 miliardi di guadagno, una parte dei quali dovuti alle commissioni che impongono ai commercianti o gli interessi che chiedono a chi prende un prestito in banca». Interessi che, invece, «non vengono dati agli italiani che lasciano soldi in banca». Dunque,

Salvini's words came after a party note the previous day had spoken of 'surprising and irritating statements by some bankers regarding the financial manoeuvre. In the face of almost 50 billion in profits, it is the duty of the large institutions to help the health sector, families and businesses. The banks have a moral duty to return to the country a part of the earnings that are the fruit of effective government action and the commissions and interests of citizen-customers. The Lega Lega groups are determined to propose solutions to make the contribution even more significant'.
