Strait of Messina Spa, the cap on manager salaries jumps: the wrath of the opposition

Last Council of Ministers before the summer break and last row of controversies.

Tomorrow the government is preparing to launch two omnibus decrees, which range from justice to expensive flights up to the extension of the 8 per thousand to the recovery of drug addiction.

But what infuriates the opposition is a provision contained in the folds of the decree and passed smoothly during the pre-council. It concerns the ceiling on the salaries of managers, which could be blown up, only for the board of directors of the Stretto di Messina Spa company which will have the task of building the bridge.

It remains to be seen if the rule that "breaks" the salary ceiling will be confirmed on Monday, when the CDM is expected. But when the draft was circulated, controversy erupted.

"A shame", "a scandal", "gifts from Salvini", "a choice that widens inequalities and fuels discontent", thunder Avs, Pd, M5s, +Europe and Action. Italia Viva also announces that it will vote against, recalling that "Renzi has put up the roof, Salvini and Meloni are removing it".

"Indecent government, with one hand scuttles the minimum wage and with the other cancels the limit of 240,000 euros on manager salaries," attacks Elly Schlein. “This right does the favors for the usual suspects,” thunders the 5-star Movement.
