The discussion of the 2022 maneuver gets underway. The Chamber voted (with 30 yes, 18 no and one abstention) the passage to the articles.
Examination of the text will continue on Thursday starting at 10, while the Budget Committee is scheduled for Wednesday at 16 for its opinion on the amendments.
The councilor for the budget, Giuseppe Fasolino, closed the general discussion tonight. "There is a strategy behind the depopulation measures", he explained, replying to those who, like the minority speaker Cesare Moriconi (Pd), had claimed the inconsistency of the 600 euro bonuses for children residing in municipalities with less than three thousand inhabitants.
"The budget is not the solution to the problems of depopulation, while the resources of the European Social Fund, the ERDF, the PNRR, the agreement with the State signed in 2019 may be".
Fasolino recalled some important measures: the 40 million for the benefit of the Municipalities to equip themselves with projects to participate in European calls, the turnover of Forestas which will lead to a thousand new jobs. "It is not true - he added - that on this maneuver there was no discussion with the social and employers: the 40 million, for example, arise from the confrontation with the Council of Local Autonomies, the fund for commercial activities is the result of interlocutions with trade associations ".
