In last night's meeting Mario Monti reassured the secretary of the Democratic Party, Pierluigi Bersani that the Government will seek to the end an agreement with the social forces on the reform of the labor market. Previously, a similar commitment had been reiterated by Welfare Minister Elsa Fornero. The (strong) concern of the leader of the Democrats was in fact that the continuous proposition and repetition of the principle according to which if agreement is not reached at the negotiating table, in the end the Government will in any case go ahead alone for the reform, would lead to a sort of "free all", at the time of the arrival of the texts in Parliament.
In practice, the Democratic Party has drawn the Government's attention to the fact that envisaging a subordinate hypothesis in a negotiation (if there is no agreement, we decide) strongly weakens the main hypothesis (we must find an agreement between everyone at the table). At the same time, however, Bersani also wanted to reassure the prime minister that the Democratic Party is not at all tempted to give up convinced support for his government until the end of the Legislature. And it is precisely for this reason that (whatever the choice that the Democratic Party or its individual components may make regarding forms of participation) that the objective and watchwords of the event announced for the next few days by Fiom are not shared. In short: in any case, the Democratic Party will not share the attacks on the Government. Meanwhile, Bersani has also assured his support for the liberalization provision, while hoping that "along with the advances in banks and insurance companies, some more effort will be made on the professions, energy, petrol and medicines".
In turn, it is the subject of discussion, in the Democratic Party but not only, the letter from the President of the Republic to the presidents of the Chamber and Senate on too many "off topic" amendments to the decrees. Which, in turn, are often, as observed by the leader of the Pd Dario Franceschini, all-encompassing rather than "short and not full-bodied".
