The Council of Ministers gave the green light to the enabling law for the tax meeting, without the ministers of the League, who did not take part in the meeting of the CDM. Already during the control room, Minister Garavaglia had left the table asking for time for further information.

A tear that comes in the aftermath of the bad result of the league in the administrative.

The absence of the League "will be explained by Mr Salvini today or tomorrow", Mario Draghi cut short at the press conference, "but the exchanges that took place in the control room and in the conversations had given enough elements to evaluate the delegation law".

To those who ask him if the absence of the Northern League should lead to a verification or even to a government crisis, the premier replies: “Not necessarily. There are differences of views but the government action has continued, has not been interrupted and there will be many other opportunities for exchanges in Parliament on this law and the delegated decrees ”. Draghi acknowledges that "it is a serious gesture, but what are its implications we have to wait for what the League says".

THE PROVISION - "The substance of today's Cdm - explained the Prime Minister explaining the measure - was the discussion and approval of the tax delegation. I would like to point out that the law is a delegating law and therefore it is a general law that then it will be filled with contents with a further moment of confrontation ".

It is not the last word on taxation, in short, "the process is not that simple, it will take many years".

"The reform is an opportunity towards a system that is more efficient and less distortive", said the Minister of Economy Daniele Franco, specifying that the pillars of the tax structure such as personal income tax and VAT will remain "but will be reconsidered".
One of the objectives is the "fight against tax evasion and avoidance. It is not a new problem in Italy, it is estimated to be around 100 billion and its containment is necessary to reduce tax rates and have a distribution of the load more favorable to economic growth".

Among the government's objectives is that of "reducing the tax wedge on labor which in Italy is relatively high, for a worker with an average income it is 5 points higher than the European average".
THE LAND REGISTRY - On the revision of the land register, the subject disputed by the League. “It is a reformulation - Draghi specifies -, the government undertakes to stack everything that is not stacked, land, housing, and proceeds to a revision of the annuities, adapting them to those of the market. It will take 5 years, but no one will pay more or less, the annuities remain unchanged ”.

"The average taxpayer will not notice anything regarding the land registry, everything will remain as before", continues the premier.

SALVINI - "I do not vote on the Tax Delegation because it does not contain what was in the agreements. The ministers of the League cannot have it in their hands at 1.30 pm for a meeting at 2.00 pm It is not the horoscope, it is not possible to have half an hour to analyze the future of the Italians. There is something to change in the operating mode ", thus the leader of the League, replying to Draghi, motivated the no of the Carroccio, who deserted the meeting of the Council of Ministers.

"Our ministers told me that in the corridor all the other ministers said 'you are right'. Then inside out of hypocrisy, he bends his head and raises his hand. We do not bow our heads when the house and Italian savings are involved. . There is a hypothesis of a tax increase that the League does not endorse ", he added.

"It is not a government crisis. There is a government that must make it clear that it is not the time to raise taxes", is the conclusion of the leader of the Northern League.
