Pensions continues derby Renzi Padoan. Premier accelerates, but the minister brakes: “We must not blow up the accounts” – The Huffington Post

A tug of all blows of interviews and public statements is ravaging Matteo Renzi and Pier Carlo Padoan on the game of pensions. The head of economics from the columns of the Republic has returned to put on the brakes after the acceleration of the Prime Minister on changes to the pension system in view of the development of the next maneuver. Only yesterday Renzi, in an interview Unit launched a message Italians but mainly addressed to his minister raising the introduction of mechanisms that encourage early retirement already in the Stability Law for 2016. “I asked Padoan Poletti and identify a mechanism to allow more flexibility in output, “said Renzi.

While not hostile in principle, to touch Padoan mediate among other priorities of the Prime Minister, first cutting Tasi and IMU on the first house, and the need to respect the adjustment path accounts, especially in front of the watchful lens of Brussels. And here, once again, the minister has returned to stop his “superior”, as he once called it, warning of the risks to the state coffers. “There is nothing wrong to consider possible remedial concerning individuals who are close to retirement but with a difficult employment perspective – said from the pages of the Republic – but must be considered of course that this has a cost and the balance of finance public must be maintained. “Even more peremptory Padoan it had been in Parliament two days after the launch of the update of the Def, which seems to be no trace explicit intention to put hand to the law Fornero. On that occasion the minister was It was explicit: “A structural change in the pension system designed by law Fornero scollegasse that the retirement age from the life expectancy would go against the principles of sustainability of the system.” Insert additional flexibility “would entail substantial costs” and therefore any reform “goes carefully considered taking into account the costs and benefits “.

The derby between Matthew and Pier Carlo Match pensions seemed to have put in balance when Renzi earlier this month from the living room of Porta a Porta was more cautious on ‘ hypothesis of an imminent intervention and had spoken of the need for the mechanism to allow workers to retire before and at no cost to the State. Some days, interviewed by Sky Tg24, Padoan had said very clearly that the flexibility in output of pensions “is not on the agenda of the stability law”, closing, so it seemed, the match at the chapter security. Emblematic was also the choice of either not mention the subject in front of the audience of entrepreneurs and investors in Cernobbio, preferring to talk about taxes, an issue that seems to have agreed right away.
