Reform of the European institutions, majority voting, presidents
Reforms for a federal Europe
The Pd's objective remains that of a federal Europe: let next be a constituent legislature for the reform of the Treaties. Priorities are the overcoming of unanimity voting with majority voting and the strengthening of the EU Parliament, which must be given the right of legislative initiative.
Economic Governance
.The new rules for the budget, common debt and Eurobonds Next Generation Eu permanent
Make the Next Generation Eu permanent, increase the common budget share now stuck at 1% of GDP significantly, deduct investments in the ecological and digital transition from the deficit/GDP calculation. Yes to an EU fund for the energy efficiency of the building stock.
Common Defence
.Ukraine and the new geopolitical framework: beyond military cooperation
Yes to EU defence, aid to Ukraine
Yes to a common defence both for deterrence against Russia's expansionist aims and for efficient military spending. Humanitarian and military support for the 'brutally attacked' Ukraine. In the Middle East yes to the 'two peoples, two states' solution and the recognition of Palestine.
Industrial Policy
.Business, competitiveness, energy and environment. Barriers and incentives Green Transition Forward
No step backwards on the Green Deal, whose costs must be borne by common investments. We need an Industrial Act and a review of the state aid regime to support European business in the major transitions of the coming years. Harmonise taxation levels: no tax havens.
Lavoro
Wages and tax wedge, contracts and training of workers, pensions Stop poor work
No more unpaid internships, introduction of a compulsory minimum wage, strengthening of collective bargaining, reduction of working hours for equal pay. Strengthen Sure and create other instruments to protect workers and companies in the digital/ecological transition.
