The first political confrontation between all the main leaders in view of the elections on 25 September is staged at the Ambrosetti Forum in Cernobbio. We mainly talk about economic issues, given that the traditional workshop brings together the elite of finance and politics. All in attendance, except Conte in videoconference from Naples.

Speeches in strict alphabetical order, ten minutes each, then the questions.

CALENDA

He relaunches the Draghi bis: "I have no problems in running for the leadership of the country, but Draghi is better, we must try to keep him". The return of Draghi, he points out, “is possible if we get a lot of votes. If I were him I would already be on a shuttle to Mars, but whether it is him or someone else you cannot lose the way in which this last government has worked ”.

WITH YOU

The M5S leader relaunches the abolition of IRAP, which "must be in favor of all". And he insists: “We must invest in cutting the tax wedge, both for workers and for businesses”.

Conte says he is "not serene" on the numbers of employment levels: "We have 3 million and 160 thousand fixed-term contracts, 9% of which are for one day only and most of them do not exceed thirty days".

Citizenship income: “Thinking of abolishing it is madness. The problem is not income, but underpaid work. With income, we saved a million people from poverty during the pandemic, without social cohesion you can't go anywhere ".

READ

The dem secretary insists on the need to avoid the recession "at all costs". How? "Addressing the energy issue, lowering taxes on labor and fully implementing the NRP".

“We - he claims - are the ones for Europe, we must not argue with Europe because we are Europe. We are linear and reliable, always for the progress of our country.

From Salvini arrive “free phrases that risk causing very heavy damage to Italy, to our reliability and to our role in Europe. This way of campaigning on the skin of the country's reliability is irresponsible ”.

As for the PNRR, “it cannot be renegotiated”, as Giorgia Meloni asks.

MELONS

"It cannot be a heresy to say that the PNRR cannot be perfected: it is foreseen in the norm", underlines the president of Fdi, who spoke about international politics guaranteeing the Atlantic location of Italy and energy: "Waiting for the roof EU at the price, the separation between gas and energy from renewable sources can be done at national level, it should cost 3 or 4 billion ".

Budget gap for aid on bills: "I would avoid it, I think we have other resources".

SALVINI

The leader of the League proposes to move the Ministry of Innovation to Milan. "I propose that the ministry for artificial intelligence, innovation and digitization be in Milan, where there are patents," he told the Ambrosetti Forum in Cernobbio. "The beauty of autonomy - he added - is to enhance the territories".

On sanctions: “We of the League voted for them. Let's go ahead but protecting our workers, because winning the elections by inheriting a country on its knees would not be a great satisfaction ". Again: "I do not give up to those who enter another country with tanks, but as a future government force I wonder if what we are doing is harming those we want to harm".

TAJANI

“Enough with the energy dependence on just one. We must focus on the latest generation of nuclear energy ”, says the coordinator of Forza Italia, Antonio Tajani. “Enough with the No party - he added - which always blocks everything. Think, for example, of the Gronda di Genova, blocked by the party of the No. And perhaps even the Morandi Bridge would not have collapsed had it not been for those No. And therefore we must double our country's gas extraction ”.
