Sometimes it takes very little to realize the twists and turns of Italian politics.
The 110% Superbuilding Bonus, about which all evil is said and about the forthcoming, urgent and essential archiving, is the latest case to reach us from the Palace.
The completion date for the condominiums could be June 30, 2024 and no longer December 31, 2023. Has the center-right changed its mind? Has the state's anti-ecological ferocity disappeared? A little, at least these days.
In the Senate Budget Committee the senator Licia Ronzulli, the senator Claudio Lotito and others have presented an amendment to the Advances Decree to allow the construction sites to be closed in mid-2024. Six more months of work with companies needing to hurry.
According to Forza Italia, the Superbonus should bring some energy benefits to condominiums, so it is worth granting an extension to take down scaffolding and rubble. Remember the Minister's stomach ache Giancarlo Giorgetti ? If Forza Italia passes, the malaise turns into hateful endurance.
To obtain the extension, however, you must have performed at least 60 percent of the jobs to December 31st. This is for FI, but there are also others in the commission who want the construction sites to continue.
The entire construction world had launched a appeal to obtain the extension and avoid the traumatic closure of the works. Are we going to turn them against us, must they have thought about Forza Italia?
Is six months enough?
Six months are enough to recover 70% of the expenses. The question remains open and is not the only one on the energy and environmental front. Even at the Ministry of the Environment, unfortunately, they do their part.
The beneficiaries of the Superbonus will still have to document the energy efficiency works by the end of 2023 through a work progress report. This time we will have to keep our eyes wide open against scams and magic: Pantalone will be better equipped.
The Advances Decree is being discussed in the Senate and should reach the Chamber within the end of the month. If it contains the extension, the builders will breathe a sigh of relief and will think (well) that they have been listened to by the party of one of their former colleagues.
In essence, the six-month delay (?) is one truce against a measure used as a destructive catapult in the political opponent's camp. Too bad the catapult can also misfire.
