External competition and amnesties, Meloni’s two Nos to Nordio and Salvini

Two “no”s to leave behind the controversies of the last few weeks. This is the decision of the Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni trying to put a stop to the forward escapes of her ministers. The first no is for Carlo Nordio and his project to revise the crime of external complicity in a mafia association that had caused so much discussion. A brief and concise statement, on the occasion of the train journey to inaugurate the new Rome-Pompeii section, was enough to stop the Keeper’s initiative without using brusque tones.

“I fully understand both the assessments made by Minister Nordio, always very precise, and the criticisms that may come, however I would focus on other priorities”said the premier. The stop decided by Meloni comes both to try to calm the troubled waters of the majority and to bring back an idea of security right and intransigent on issues of justicebeyond the assessments of merit on the effectiveness of the crime of external competition.

The premier’s slowdown was immediately acknowledged and accepted by Minister Nordio, who immediately issued a letter share note: “With her [Meloni, ndr] we are and have always been in perfect harmony. The problem of external cooperation is essentially technical and aims, if anything, at strengthening the fight against organized crime. But its revision is not part of the government programme”

As if that weren’t enough to open a further rift in the executive, he also thought about it Matthew Salvini. The deputy prime minister has decided to relaunch his case once again idea of ​​fiscal peace. During a visit to the Mermec-Ferrosud factory in Matera, the minister, answering some questions from the reporters present, declared: “In addition to the justice reform, a great and definitive fiscal peace between tax authorities and taxpayers is fundamental to free millions of Italians held hostage by the Revenue Agency for too many years”

The no in this case has not come, for the moment, personally from the prime minister but various representatives and sources of the majority, both from the Brothers of Italy and from Forza Italia, have explained how the idea is currently totally to be excluded. The government is in fact working on the tax reform That it should also be approved today in the Senate. Any draft amendment would blow up the whole process and force the government to start from scratch. Furthermore on 30 September the terms of the last fiscal peace plan expire, therefore it would be useful to at least wait for this date to evaluate the effects of the previous measure. However, the speech could be re-proposed by the leader of the League on the occasion of the next financial manoeuvre, but for the moment this idea too should be set aside.
