Government, Bonomi: “No conditions to fulfill electoral promises”

“It is legitimate for the parties to try to fulfill the electoral promises, today there are no conditions to do so at this moment. There will be time to make a flat tax or early retirement” but “today the few resources must be put in defense of the industry. and families “. This was stated by Carlo Bonomi, president of Confindustria, during the ‘Festa dell’Ottimismo 2022’ organized by the ‘Foglio’. “The challenges in the short term”, he added, are those of “supporting the Italian industry, because it is not a corporate battle but because without industry there is no Italy. It is national interest and national security to safeguard it, because they are I risk businesses and therefore hundreds of thousands of families “. “We have benefited from an important rebound in previous years, which has allowed us an extra tax revenue of 60 billion that the government has used to stop the emergency. Next year we will slow down, resources are scarce – he reiterated – and must be put all on the issue of energy, to defend families and businesses “.” The government, we have always said this from day one, so from tomorrow, it will have to intervene on the issue of energy because it is a national emergency issue. It must intervene urgently with short-term interventions, therefore from now to the end of the year to continue supporting the expensive bills for businesses and families. now the country is safe “, continued Bonomi.” How much more can a renewal of the tax exempt contract bring? To bring money in the pocket of the Italians, a cut in the tax wedge is needed “, h he said again, continuing: “We have to analyze what kind of inflation we have, it’s particular. Let’s assume it has a curve. It is obvious that purchasing power has been eroded, above all for the lower income brackets, and that is why we were asking for a tax wedge contribution cut, to put more money in Italians’ pockets “. For Bonomi, capacity is not concerned” government to do the PNRR or not “but” supply and demand: we have to unload 170 billion of investments, build infrastructures and beyond “the problems related” to raw materials, the realization time is very short, I don’t know whether the industrial system is able to implement them by 2026 “. But, he warned,” it is not only an Italian problem, but also of other countries and therefore the Plan must be reconfigured at a European level, it must be modified in terms of timing because between been thought to date we have had a crisis of raw materials for prices and availability and an energy crisis “. If the government” asks to meet, we are available. We will evaluate the action on the merits of the measures as we have always done. If it will do well we will say ‘good’, if it will hurt we will say that it is the wrong way for us. But on the individual measures as always “, the words of the president of Confindustria.
