The government Meloni he replies harshly on the topic patrimonial, launched once again by the broad center-left to combat inequality and to finance schools, healthcare, and welfare. Here is the clear and direct announcement of the Prime Minister Meloni.
Meloni's government, the prime minister's accusation regarding the wealth tax: "With the right, it will never see the light of day."
During the discussion on the Budget law, like every year, we return to talk about the patrimonial, strongly supported by the broad centre-left (Avs and Pd), as a measure to reduce inequalities and finance schools, healthcare and welfare.
Here's what the answer was Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni"Wealth taxes reappear cyclically in the left's proposals. It's reassuring to know that, with the right in government, they will never see the light", It is the clear and direct message from the Prime Minister, in a post on X.
The opposition parties' response
Meloni claims that her government is the most reassuring on taxes. Perhaps for American banks and web giants. If we talk about Italian families and businesses, Meloni has established the record tax pressure In the last 10 years, they have increased excise duties and VAT. I also gave you a book on the taxes they increased, have you read it? In front of 25 billion in taxes who have eaten up their purchasing power think they can get away with it by throwing it into a rut and giving workers 2 euros a month?” attacks the leader on social media Five Star Movement, Giuseppe Conte.
Avs: "Poverty has increased under Meloni"
“It is not at all reassuring that with the right in government the number of people living in poverty increases, and that – as happened between 2023 and 2024 – the number of Italians who give up on healthcare because they can no longer afford it increases by 1 million,” so Nicola Fratoianni of Avs reply to the statements of Giorgia Meloni on the wealth tax, from the microphones of Skytg24 during Agenda.
"As it is not at all reassuring to know – continues the SI leader - that Salaries of the majority of Italians in this country, the only case in Europe, for thirty years have been substantially stop or go backwards, while the cost of living continues to rise.
It would be enough - he concludes Fratoianni of Avs – That the ministers of the Meloni government would go out and talk to real people, and I'm not talking about the so-called poor workers, those for whom a measure like a minimum wage is needed—though the right has said no to that too, as is well known—but I'm talking about the vast majority of Italians who see wages stagnant and the cost of living skyrocketing. Perhaps they would understand one thing: how can one make a living in these conditions?
Bonelli, Avs: "Poor abandoned people"
“Meloni writes that with the right to government never patrimonialThe reality is that the Meloni government has increased the tax pressure at 42,8%Who pays? Always the same: workers and pensioners. The right defends the rich and has abandoned the poor, who are getting poorer year after year. Absolute poverty in Italy has reached the scandalous figure of 5,7 million people. And with the Meloni government, the number of people who have given up on healthcare has risen to 1,3 million, going from 4,5 million to 5,8 million.
In Italy, there are 62 super-rich people with a combined net worth of €200 billion. Why shouldn't the super-rich contribute to public healthcare and increase salaries and pensions, which are among the lowest in Europe? We – concludes the Avs MP and co-spokesperson for the Greens, Angelo Bonelli - we are in front on the side of the poor and the middle class. Meloni is on the side of the super-rich and defends a system that is increasingly socially unjust. Moreover, she has already said no – along with Trump – to the global minimum tax on large multinationals.
