A new meeting of the leaders with Minister Giorgetti is expected before the vote on the amendments.
School, pensions, healthcare. But not only that. These are the macro areas on which "targeted and agreed upon" corrective measures could be implemented in the majority while preserving, however, the balance of the accounts. But the requests and pressure from the parties go, at least at this stage, even further. So much so that a new meeting of the center-right leaders with the minister Giancarlo Giorgetti has already been taken into account by everyone before the voting phase on the amendments gets to the heart of the matter.
Here, point by point, are the requests and the state of the art on possible changes on the various fronts.
SCHOOL - The focus is on the reduction of 7 thousand units between teaching staff and Ata. The school unions are on a war footing and the minister Giuseppe Valditara has made it known that the government is working on the measure. Forza Italia defined the measure as "unacceptable" also because the savings are not reassigned to the sector. But the League is also reportedly thinking about possible amendments. In the majority - it is confirmed by multiple sources - discussions on the point are underway. One hypothesis, which is being studied but which has not yet had a final green light, is to postpone the crackdown until 2029.
PENSIONS - It is difficult, at the moment, to hypothesize a change in the tightening of check revaluations. However, with the pressure of Lega and FI who in recent days have met with the unions of the sector, the so-called dedicated pension could be introduced: a fund to support workers in the security sector who, with contributions and an early exit from a demanding job, find themselves with an often very reduced social security check. The League then requests that the outgoing social security resources of 850 million be allocated to the 64 million mark but the issue has been referred to Parliament and FdI has highlighted the opportunity to allocate it as a priority to those who carry out strenuous jobs or to social measures.
HEALTH - The budget provides for an increase in the National Health Service fund of 2.4 billion in 2027 (to which is added a further billion for next year but already allocated), 2.3 billion per year in the two-year period 2028-2029. It remains to be seen whether the resources will be further strengthened as the Regions also request.
SUPERBONUS - The maneuver confirms the spreading of the Superbonus credits over 10 years. The government is reportedly considering a change to safeguard small and medium-sized businesses. On this point, Deputy Economy Minister Maurizio Leo explained that the government is "thinking. It is enough to remain - he underlined - within the perimeter with which the law is constructed".
PUBLISHING - Forza Italia, on the proposal of the undersecretary for Publishing Alberto Barachini, aims to allocate the annual growth in revenue from the web tax to the Fund for pluralism and digital innovation of information. Still on the culture front, we are thinking about a possible expansion of the Artbonus audience.
EXIT TAX - Possible adjustments coming to the new tax foreseen by the budget for those who transfer their tax residence abroad. FI asks for changes and in the majority there is a reasoning. "The principle - Leo underlines - concerns those who instrumentally move abroad and sell the shareholding with an elusive objective, for all other cases we'll see".
SECURITY - The League aims to increase the number of soldiers involved in Operation Safe Roads to 10,000 for the whole of 2027. And it is working on an amendment to finance another 3,200 men, which would be added to the 6,800 already foreseen, for the whole of next year.
SUGAR AND PLASTIC TAX - The entry into force of the two taxes has been postponed to September 2028 but companies are asking for a further extension or cancellation.
AMENDMENT - Fratelli d'Italia is working on a reopening of the terms of the building amnesty in particular for Campania, excluded from the 2001-2003 one. But that doesn't mean there won't be any proposals for changes to broaden the scope of intervention.
