The first political confrontation between all the main leaders in view of the elections on 25 September is staged at the Ambrosetti Forum in Cernobbio. We mainly talk about economic issues, given that the traditional workshop brings together the elite of finance and politics. All in attendance, except Conte in videoconference from Naples.
Speeches in strict alphabetical order, ten minutes each, then the questions.
CALENDA
He relaunches the Draghi bis: "I have no problems in running for the leadership of the country, but Draghi is better, we must try to keep him". The return of Draghi, he points out, “is possible if we get a lot of votes. If I were him I would already be on a shuttle to Mars, but whether it is him or someone else you cannot lose the way in which this last government has worked ”.
WITH YOU
The M5S leader relaunches the abolition of IRAP, which "must be in favor of all". And he insists: “We must invest in cutting the tax wedge, both for workers and for businesses”.
Conte says he is "not serene" on the numbers of employment levels: "We have 3 million and 160 thousand fixed-term contracts, 9% of which are for one day only and most of them do not exceed thirty days".
Citizenship income: “Thinking of abolishing it is madness. The problem is not income, but underpaid work. With income, we saved a million people from poverty during the pandemic, without social cohesion you can't go anywhere ".

The dem secretary insists on the need to avoid the recession "at all costs". How? "Addressing the energy issue, lowering taxes on labor and fully implementing the NRP".
“We - he claims - are the ones for Europe, we must not argue with Europe because we are Europe. We are linear and reliable, always for the progress of our country.
From Salvini arrive “free phrases that risk causing very heavy damage to Italy, to our reliability and to our role in Europe. This way of campaigning on the skin of the country's reliability is irresponsible ”.
