Salvini: 'Confident of overcoming the Fornero law, pension at 64'

“Exactly, we are working towards this.” This is how the deputy prime minister and transport minister, Matteo Salvini, responds on Radio 24 to 24 Mattino when asked if the council of ministers for the launch of the maneuver will be tomorrow.

"We are thinking because the economic situation is not easy especially at an international level and with the cost of fuel, the cost of energy, the increase in inflation", adds Salvini speaking of the overcoming of the Fornero law which is the "priority" for the League.

"Our priority for some time, and we have finally gotten there, is to overcome the Fornero law and therefore give back three years of life to those who choose to retire at 64 compared to 67. I am confident in being able to maintain a commitment that the League made several years ago and in the previous budget laws, due to other problems, we were unable to bring home". "The Mef and INPS are estimating the cost, there will certainly be the necessary coverage to allow those who have paid contributions to get at least their contributions back".

The other priorities for the League are "to raise the ceiling for the simplified flat-rate taxation of 15% to 100,000 euros which already today helps more than 2 million in VAT registration, then there is", adds Salvini, the issue of security which "obviously not for what has happened in recent days, but for what Italians need", "a further investment in safety, in salaries, in social security, in equipment for extraordinary hiring of forces of the order".
