The Council of Ministers gave the green light to the enabling law for the tax meeting, without the ministers of the League, who did not take part in the meeting of the CDM. Already during the control room, Minister Garavaglia had left the table asking for time for further information.
A tear that comes in the aftermath of the bad result of the league in the administrative.
The absence of the League "will be explained by Mr Salvini today or tomorrow", Mario Draghi cut short at the press conference, "but the exchanges that took place in the control room and in the conversations had given enough elements to evaluate the delegation law".
To those who ask him if the absence of the Northern League should lead to a verification or even to a government crisis, the premier replies: “Not necessarily. There are differences of views but the government action has continued, has not been interrupted and there will be many other opportunities for exchanges in Parliament on this law and the delegated decrees ”. Draghi acknowledges that "it is a serious gesture, but what are its implications we have to wait for what the League says".
THE PROVISION - "The substance of today's Cdm - explained the Prime Minister explaining the measure - was the discussion and approval of the tax delegation. I would like to point out that the law is a delegating law and therefore it is a general law that then it will be filled with contents with a further moment of confrontation ".
It is not the last word on taxation, in short, "the process is not that simple, it will take many years".
"The reform is an opportunity towards a system that is more efficient and less distortive", said the Minister of Economy Daniele Franco, specifying that the pillars of the tax structure such as personal income tax and VAT will remain "but will be reconsidered".
One of the objectives is the "fight against tax evasion and avoidance. It is not a new problem in Italy, it is estimated to be around 100 billion and its containment is necessary to reduce tax rates and have a distribution of the load more favorable to economic growth".
