Salvini opens up to the Northern wing and proposes pensions at 64 with contributions from the banks

Matteo Salvini chooses Bruno Vespa's living room to prepare for the count that will take place at the League congress announced from the Pontida stage. And he opens up to the Northern faction, denying that if he is re-elected secretary, there will be only one man in command: «The strength of the League is the team. Creating a group to face the challenges will be fundamental." Will there be a role for Zaia? «For Zaia but not only: I will propose to all those who have things to say and give to be part of a team that must face and overcome enormous challenges».

The goal of armoring ourselves at the congress

Salvini speaks with the aim of armoring himself: he knows that the majority of delegates are loyal to him, but he cannot continue to endlessly repel the attacks of the governors of the North. Even more so on the eve of the election year. Hence the outstretched hand: even if it is not accepted, it removes an alibi.

The goad on pensions at 64 years old

The relaunch strategy is internal and external. Even if the Government's path becomes narrow with the failure to exit the infringement procedure early, it has no intention of giving up its warhorses easily. Starting with pensions. «Italians today are those who retire the latest in Europe, together with the Greeks and Danes: 67 years. We can't afford that for young people. With 1.6 billion next year we will allow people to choose whether to retire at 64, overcoming the Fornero law."

The request to the banks: «Contribute»

To Vespa who asks him about the coverage Salvini replies: «Where do I find 1.6 billion? By asking for a contribution from the banks, which this year will earn 50 billion euros from commissions. Those who have more in a moment of difficulty for many Italians can give more. And I don't understand why pensioners should be asked instead of bankers."

School, "it's not ghetto to help children with Italian"

The deputy prime minister defends the law decree on schools that the Government is preparing to launch tomorrow in the Council of Ministers. «The goal - he says - is to have Italian and foreign children who go to class, growing and learning. We have 34 thousand classes in Italy with more than a third of foreign students. If they don't speak Italian it is a problem for them, for the other children and for the teachers who cannot teach mathematics, history or geography. So helping these children to speak Italian and also encouraging their parents to learn Italian is something that unites, that brings us together, it's not a ghetto." He reserves the harshest attack on the left: «He would like the ghetto classes. Look for new voters, new slaves, new citizens. This is not the Italy I have in mind."
