Dpfp, exam begins in a half-empty chamber: only 4 majority deputies present. Giorgetti: conscious deviation

The session in which the 2026 public finance planning document will be examined has begun in the Chamber. The resolutions on the DPDP and deviation will be voted on: the first requires a simple majority, the second requires an absolute majority. The Chamber is half empty: there are only four members of the majority including the rapporteur listening to Minister Giorgetti.

The session in the Montecitorio Chamber began with a low presence of deputies, even while the Minister of Economy, Giancarlo Giorgetti, was speaking on the DPFP and on the request for deviation. "But I was there!!", the minister commented with a smile to the reporters who pointed out to him the number of parliamentarians, even the majority, sitting among the benches of the chamber. The Assembly will vote on the resolutions relating to the public finance planning document and on the report for the request for the deviation, from 12.30.

The request for a budget shift for the activation of the NEC safeguard clause for defense and energy "is a conscious step away from the line of prudence that I have called for" stated the Minister of Economy, Giancarlo Giorgetti, in the Chamber. “They are something that the commission recognizes and that the markets have recognized as sustainable in a path of sustainability of Italian public debt finance”.
