The maneuver slips: a decree is on the way for the bills

The time for the approval of the budget law is getting longer, which should arrive between Christmas and New Year's - The government is therefore thinking of bringing the money forward in another measure to mitigate the increases in electricity and gas prices

The timing for the green light to maneuver they stretch. The final vote should come between Christmas and New Years, given that the government's amendments – including the one for the Irpef cut – will arrive in committee in the Senate only tomorrow and will be examined from Saturday. The vote on the maxi-amendment should take place in Palazzo Madama on the 23rd, so the Chamber will have no margin for modification and will have to limit itself to ratifying the text by the end of the year to avoid the provisional exercise (which this year would be particularly dangerous, because it would risk postpone the transfer of the first installment of European aid).

Precisely because of this slowdown, the government decided on Monday to anticipate in a decree the allocation of 3,8 billion to mitigate increases in electricity and gas bills Coming January XNUMXst. The provision should be approved today in the Council of Ministers, so that the Energy Authority has the certainty of the funds available and sufficient time to recalculate the new controlled amounts.

As for the sindacati, CGIL and UIL have confirmed next Thursday's general strike. In response, the government first let it leak that it was in no hurry to meet again with the workers' representatives, then sent an invitation to the three confederal acronyms (including the CISL, therefore, which also does not join the mobilization). The appointment is for next Monday at 15.30pm and on the agenda is the eternal debate about pension reform.

Meanwhile, among the last-minute changes to the maneuver there is also a regulation already renamed "save-Naples”, which aims to help all the large municipalities in a state of pre-instability – starting with the one led by ex-minister Manfredi – to avoid bankruptcy while unlocking hiring. These entities will be guaranteed new funds to be repaid over 10 years in exchange for very stringent measures such as the increase in surcharges and embarkation fees for ports and airports.
