Why It Matters
The government is discussing the modalities of the next budget law and whether or not it is necessary to resort to a budget deviation.
"I'm not interested in the form, but in the substance: if it's not a deviation but an important and courageous budget law that focuses on investments, you can not make the deviation but an important budget law. For the League and the Italians, being conditioned by the zero point doesn't make us work well". The deputy prime minister and leader of the League, Matteo Salvini, said this during a press conference on the League's rules.
Marco Osnato, economic manager of FdI and president of the Finance Committee of the Chamber, however holds back: "I am always much more prudent than vice-premier Salvini. I believe that it is right to seek investments, indeed to seek support, but always within a framework of compatibility of public finance. We have done so, I repeat, in these last 4 budget laws and I believe that we will be able to do it even now without doing too many flights of fancy. I don't have this mantra of the budget deviation, but I generally don't believe that it is the best thing to do in this circumstance."
Open Questions
- Exactly what measures will the next budget law contain?
- Will the government officially adopt the deviation line?
