“In the transition from one government to another, it is not that I am hoping for it, the commitments undertaken are not renewed or dropped, but continue. His name is principle of administrative continuity“. With these words, the Undersecretary to the Presidency of the Council, Gianni Letta, clarifies that the agreements reached between Italy and the European Commission, in particular those for Community funds to be allocated to the South, will not be called into question by a possible fall of the Government.
"The pact signed - clarified Letta at the end of a press conference at Palazzo Chigi - resists any event, assuming there are any events". In fact, in these hours, after the latest defections from the PDL, doubts are becoming more and more pressing about the holding of the majority in tomorrow's vote in the Chamber on the state account, already rejected in Montecitorio.
As for the question of taxes for the citizens of Abruzzo affected by the earthquake, Letta explained that "the Government is committed to finding the solution in the right time, by November, on the question of postponing taxes for the populations of the crater area". In this sense, "the right venue should be that of an amendment to the stability law".
