Electoral law, Ciriani: hopefully OK by June in first reading in the Chamber of Deputies
‘We hope by the end of June to be able to approve the new electoral law at least at first reading in the Chamber of Deputies’. This was stated by the Minister for Relations with Parliament, Luca Ciriani, in his speech at the Festival of Economics.
“On Wednesday we have the group leaders’ meeting in the House with President Fontana and the majority group leaders will ask for the reform of the electoral law to be scheduled for June. So there is the greatest will to accelerate the approval as much as possible. After waiting for the centre-left’s proposals that never arrived, the centre-right has decided, naturally with the government’s consent, to accelerate. We hope, by the end of June, to be able to approve the new electoral law at least at first reading in the Chamber of Deputies’.
Gardini (Confcooperative): ‘Pact with the government to approve the action plan’
“The pact we want to sign today with the government is to go for the recognition and approval of the action plan” for the social economy. “It is not dropped from above but agreed. The government has listened to us. And that is no small thing. It is a great path that the country needs. A path that would complete the path of fiscal reform’. The president of Confcooperative, Maurizio Gardini, underlined this when speaking at the Festival of Economics in Trento, at a panel with the deputy minister of the Economy Maurizio Leo. ‘The intervention on the social economy,’ he said, ‘is strongly strategic. A milestone. A recognition for the protagonists of the social economy. It is very important for us, even in the knowledge that resources are very limited’. And he warns: ‘You cannot treat different subjects with the same rules. The definition of the Action Plan is our goal. According to the recognition from the European Union, we expect that indivisible reserves will not be taxed, because where there is no divisibility there is no taxation’.
