C ome expected, the measures against the economic crisis passed by the Council of Ministers is not convinced and Pd CGIL, who demanded a stronger support to disadvantaged groups and a major expansion of social safety nets. Epifani confirmed the strike and calls for a strong role in politics, the shadow minister read already announces the intention to choose the sole parliamentary opposition.
No surprise by the Council of Ministers approved the measures - "in ten minutes," he assured Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi - are the ones largely eviscerated by the media in recent days. Stands out among all the bonuses for low-income families. Will be in the payroll (or board) in January. Will range from two hundred to a thousand euro, calculated on the basis of income (must be in any case less than 22 thousand per year) and dependent children. In the case in one family member is handicapped, the maximum threshold for the payment will rise to 35 thousand euro. Economy Minister Giulio Tremonti said in the decree also included a mechanism to protect those who have a home loan variable rate. E 'established for the interest, a maximum increase of four percent. If the difference is exceeded, will take over the state. Not what you asked for CGIL and the Democratic Party (but also the Confederation of protest that he wanted more money for companies), in favor of stronger action in favor of lower incomes. But the symbolic measure, requested by the opposition and the largest trade union, or de-taxation of the thirteenth, Tremonti did not want to hear. So, ultimately, for the most vulnerable have been only three billion poor, compared to 6:00 to 7:00 he wanted the Democratic Party. It 's inevitable, then, that from this moment on, CGIL and Democrats find themselves behind the same barricade to challenge the government's measures. The secretary of the union of course Italy, Guglielmo Epifani, has confirmed the general strike on December 12 and requested the policy to play a big role, not limited to simply voting against the measure. Epifani said: "It is not the time for timidity, one must feel the force of the positions in the field. The strike could be a tool to ask the government a change in the approach to the crisis." Were more satisfied Showing the other union leaders. The general secretary of Uil, Luigi Angeletti, spoke of a "glass half full" while the CISL, Raffaele Bonanni, welcomed the raising of the threshold (€ thirty-five thousand to thirty thousand) for the tax reduction in wages to productivity. The CGIL and Pd are disappointed not only by the lack of attention to the most vulnerable, the limited resources allocated to social safety nets. It was hoped to take this opportunity to launch an outline of the crisis for reform that expanding the forms of income protection beyond the audience of employees with a permanent contract employees in some sectors (those where the layoff is planned ). The government, instead, merely to raise money in the fund for unemployment benefits notwithstanding, change his name (it has become "social fund for employment and training") and provides, on a trial basis for three years, five per cent income last year to co.co.co who have lost their jobs. They say Dario Franceschini, and Enrico Letta, Assistant Secretary, respectively, and Shadow Minister for Welfare of the Democratic Party: "These measures buffer, good for television." Yet, on this front, the Democratic Party, in the best tradition of the squares of the center is intended to divide between those who collect the appeal of Epifani and join in the demonstration of the CGIL and who, instead, be limited to the opposition Member. The second front will be led by its Letta, who said: "It 's Parliament the place where you battle against the government's measures." Former Secretary of the Prodi government, moreover, had already demonstrated its skepticism about the strike called (and confirmed) by the union of Epifani. Today the two have had time to talk on the sidelines of the Conference on Welfare organized by the Democratic Party. But there seems to be served, because after the secret meeting with Epifani Letta told reporters: "I maintain my opinion, are two different levels. The policy for me is done in Parliament and there will try to amend the measure." Has read from his deputy and former president of the ACLI Luigi Bobba, has already announced that they do not want to go to the streets. Who no doubt is the secretary of the Communist Refoundation Paolo Ferrero, who has not renounced stab the Democratic Party: "I consider very unfortunate that the Democratic Party can not even put on the CGIL general strike."
