In politics, as in other areas of life, it is good practice to judge people and organizations on what they do and not on what they say they do. In essence, we must look at actions and not at words.
The 2019 budget law provides an excellent opportunity to demonstrate concretely what the government's priorities and specific plans are in economic matters. After months of 'we will eliminate poverty!', Propaganda, bombastic statements and media campaigns, Italians can finally judge this government on the basis of a concrete and essential decision such as the budget law.
The proposal recently voted on is the second version of a financing law that has been rejected in parliament and rejected by the European Commission technocrats. Despite the warlike statements by ministers and party secretaries against Brussels and the European Union, it is now clear to everyone how the government has bowed to the Union's economic dictates and has accepted major changes to the most important law of the year. Originally a budget with a deficit of 2.4% was planned. This new version, after the intervention of Brussels, brings it to 2.04% - the difference from a decimal, but something that means billions of cuts in the welfare state. Specifically 7.5 billion cuts.
The two flagship measures of this government - the basic income and the introduction of the "Quota 100" pension reform - are not provided for in the text of the law, because ad hoc decisions will be presented on the two measures. D
