The mission is to approve the labor reform before the EU Council scheduled for 28 and 29 April. On this road, the biggest obstacle is the exodus node, which creates stomach aches in the center left, especially in the Democratic Party. In recent days there has been talk of a separate decree, but between today and tomorrow the timetable should be clarified by the Minister of Labour, Elsa Fornero, which will have to answer first in the Senate and then in the Chamber on questions relating precisely to the exodus issue.
Still holding court the number of people involved. “An initial estimate from the technical office was 50 units – said Fornero -. We have brought it to 65 thousand to have a margin of flexibility. We then agreed that there were other people but for them the The problem is not immediate and requires a survey and identification of the criteria we are working on. I ask you to be patient, because we can't do everything in a short time. Consider that the country's financial resources are at this stage rather limited and it is necessary to ensure that every euro spent on welfare is well spent. I can only promise my sensitivity and my commitment: I can't pull resources out of thin air".
Today the minister knows that his answers on this point will not be those of the past few days and to unblock the situation he has also opened up the hypothesis of "coupon" for the reform at a later date, if it is seen that "some rules" are not working. Today, presumably in the afternoon, after the Senate, Fornero will take stock with the group leaders in Montecitorio. After that it cannot be ruled out that ABC, Alfano, Bersani and Casini seal the agreement with Monti.
