Manoeuvre, entire pension package skipped. Crisis avoided by a whisker
In the rule, the government decides to withdraw the amendment with the silent consent on severance pay and the extension of the exit windows
The entire social security package presented by the government on Wednesday in the amendment to the budget law was scrapped overnight. The League's 'niet' stops the entire system built at the Ministry of the Economy, with the silence assent on the Tfr and the two interventions on degree redemptions and lengthening of the windows to cover potential future expenses for the greater expenditure made possible by the integration of the second pillar. "Victory', also exulted the oppositions with Antonio Misiani, economic manager of the PD, after the Dems had said they were willing to vote on the Carroccio's amendment calling for the suppression of the rules with the lengthening of the stay at work.
The executive is therefore presenting a new amendment, stripped of the pension chapter, and limited to interventions on the remodulation of the NRP, the extension of the hyper-amortisation to 30 September 2028, and the refinancing of the Transition 4.0 tax incentives for companies. All the other interventions of the corrective, net of social security, will find their place in a new decree law to be approved by the Council of Ministers next week, as announced by the Minister for Relations with Parliament Luca Ciriani.
The decision came after midnight, and above all after a sort of Mexican-style stalemate had pitted the government against the League, with the concrete possibility of sending the executive under in Parliament over the manoeuvre. It all stemmed from the coverage, almost two billion a year in their maximum extension to 2035, found with the cut to degree redemptions and the progressive doubling of the waiting windows between the accrual of the requirements for early retirement and the actual possibility of leaving work. These rules served, as said, to finance the possible greater expenditure generated by the push of the severance pay fund towards supplementary pensions, with the risk of increasing the possible early exits (64 years of age and 25 of contributions, 30 from 2030) with the recalculation of contributions.
The Carroccio's internal war on welfare ends here. After the political aftermath within the Carroccio and the majority, with wounds still to heal.
