San Marino. CSdL Board: “A series of unacceptable provocations from the Government”
“Reforms and expensive bills: no to blitzes and interventions that create conflict and affect the weakest groups. It is the synthesis of today’s CSdL Directive debate, gathered in data ”.
As regards the pension reform, according to the CSdL press release, “The modification of the parts subject to last-minute blitzes will be requested, as well as those that do not respect the commitments undertaken by the Government and the majority, and the necessary additions will be proposed.
Reform of the employment rules: in addition to being largely useless, it will create conflicts and workers, while the consolidated text of the industry and craft contract is being defined, which contains rules in contrast with the contents of the PDL, in particular in the parts that concern temporary work and secondments.
The CSdL Executive believes that this is a real challenge to the trade union, put in place by the Government and mostly to divert attention from the serious problems still unresolved, such as the stabilization of the state budget and the issue relating to the NPLs of banks, which will weigh like a boulder when you approach foreign debt refinancing.
The reports by Fitch and the International Monetary Fund have exposed the main economic problems that afflict our country. However, they are not new, so there is little to be surprised about. Unfortunately, while until a couple of years ago it was also possible to shrug their opinion, now it becomes crucial to be able to place the securities at rates that are not at the limit of loan sharking.
The announced doubling of gas bills and 136% for electricity is another provocation. In addition to not being analytically justified with respect to the AASS budget, through a dutiful confrontation with the trade union and consumer associations (which the Government has been careful not to put in place), they are also unacceptable because our country has not still equipped with the tools of objectives for which are the weakest sections of the population, which must be protected.
While there are those who can easily endure such increases, the same cannot be said for families who spend their entire income from work or retirement to live, especially if they pay rents or mortgages. Businesses also need to maintain a significant differential in order to compete on international markets. This blow may constitute a further setback for contracts that have not yet been renewed and for contracts which the Associations previously asked for government interventions in order to ensure dignified increases.
It is therefore necessary for the government to convene a table to address the issue of income policy. Even before the pandemic, the standard of living was significantly different between those who work and those who live on income: now the gap is becoming unsustainable.
Evidently the government and the majority want to measure the strength of the union, or look for a pretext to put an end to the legislature, as recently announced by the Secretary of State Pedini Amati, in order to postpone the resolution of problems that are always becoming to a new legislature. more complex. So much for the sense of responsibility! “
