Rome, Oct. 19 (LaPresse) – On the one hand an ‘ mantra ‘ (“The stability law lowers all taxes: family, business, the labor market”, and will therefore not only on the first house, said today Minister Padoan ), the other cautious optimism, with some reserve. The match between the Italian government and the European Union on the stability law to play away with a third wheel, the opposition, who are ready to barricades.

Four days later approval in Council of Ministers , the high tension between the government and Brussels on the maneuver seems blunted, with the European Commission aimed to express his opinion directly to November. The commissioners, therefore, are not taking into account the deadline of the end of October, when the budget laws that violate European rules and are contrary to the principles of the EU are returned to the sender.

Remains still hovering granting Italy the so-called clause on migrants: a space of flexibility, equal to 3.3 billion euro, that Italy has asked as ‘compensation’ for expenses incurred in the management of flows. In Brussels, according to rumors in the corridors of the Commission, a further grant of flexibility , besides the above date and amounted to about 13 billion euro, is not frowned upon because they would trace the relationship deficit / GDP which, although below the threshold limit of 3%, however, would reverse its downward trend. A lot more on, at the moment, is the clash between the government and the opposition, the Democratic minority in the head . After criticism expressed in recent days by former Secretary of Dem, Pier Luigi Bersani, Robert Hope, former leader of the Democratic Party in the House, he said that the stability law is not being “no ideological battle”, but “only a request for about: those who have more pay more, those who have less pay less. “

Do not subside even the critical of Forza Italy : the leader of the Blues in the House, Renato Brunetta, laments the fact that the text of the law has not yet come to Parliament, adding: “We are told that this stability law embarrasses Forza Italy because it does things that we should have or wanted to do us nothing further from the truth! Simply because we ipotizzavamo the tax cut after cut current spending and debt, something that does Renzi, because the prime minister does not touch either the current spending or the stock of debt, and then his whole maneuver in deficit “.

Even Sel remains on strong contrarian to the text of the maneuver . Tomorrow the leader Arturo Scotto participate in a press conference in the House that will see the participation of deputies and senators of the left.
