«Positive meeting, there is availability»- Corriere.it

«We have found a very prepared counterpart. Meloni is very prepared ». Carlo Calenda thus describes the premier, at the end of an hour and a half of discussions at Palazzo Chigi. An acknowledgment that has a counterpart on the side of the majority: «If we did something normal once in a lifetime, if the government parties, read FI, instead of sabotaging Meloni, helped to carry out the manoeuvre, and the opposition instead of going to the square presented improvement measures, perhaps it would be a normal country. Instead we continue to be a Machiavellian country of which we understand nothing”. Having said this, the Action leader clarified that «there was no request, none. And we would not have accepted it», when it comes to responding to those who yearn for the Third Pole to play the role of “crutch” for the majority. «We simply said that we will not obstruct – he claims – to try to go beyond the scheduled times and send the country into provisional operation. And we wouldn’t have done it in any case, even without this meeting.”

The leader of Action explains, in detail, that “we have gone through our proposals” and that “we discussed an extension of enterprise 4.0, a ceiling on the cost of gas in place of tax credits” as well as an increase in the salaries of health professionals, the restoration of ‘Italy safe’, and an analysis of the Pnrr. One of the requests made at the discussion table – which was also attended by Paita, Richetti and Marattin for the Third Pole and Urso, Leo and Fazzolari for the government – was to “re-propose the Citizenship Income as Rei”. It is on this issue that the leader of Action dwells, advising Palazzo Chigi «caution in the sense that, together with the limitations on the basic income, a strengthening of scholarships is needed for children who lose their income and want to study. A negative tax for those who find a job. A system must be built around it in which the Income returns to being Income of inclusion, the Municipalities are involved, also to avoid scams ».

Calenda then adds that he had offered the Democratic Party «to see together this counter-maneuver, there was no response”. From the Democratic Party “a document of qualifications was sent that is not dignified for a party, I would suggest that they take a research office”, underlines Calenda, then remarking that “they have a way of opposing that we do not agree with . The opposition is made on the merits of the issues, otherwise politics becomes child’s play where you say no prejudicially, without knowing what you are saying to.
