The allegations are denied in part. Meanwhile, however, history becomes the pretext to put out the fire and rekindle the resentment among the majority and the hatred that is generated within the 5 Star Movement. In fact, a political storm is unleashed on the president of the INPS Pasquale Tridico, father of the citizens’ income, wanted by the 5Stelle at the head of the pension institute. The news, published by the daily La Repubblica, is one that causes a sensation. The number one of the INPS had a salary increase, raised to 150 thousand euros, 50% more than his predecessor Tito Boeri who earned 103,000 euros a year. However, the heart of the matter would be retroactivity. According to the newspaper, Tridico should be paid another 100,000 euros for arrears. The news was denied by the grillino minister Nunzia Catalfo and by the director of human resources of the INPS only after many hours.
In this communicative void, parties break out. Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte announces that he will ask for clarification. The majority enters fibrillation and Italia Viva asks for the resignation of Tridico, the president who carries the 5Stelle as a flag. “Italy, year 20XY. Remember when Italy went crazy and was filled with populists? Those who sought consensus with the slogans How we reduce wages to castes! and then, quietly, they took us all to the c … ‘. It only remains to understand what numbers we put in place of those X and Y “, writes on Twitter the president of the House Finance Committee, Luigi Marattin. From the Democratic Party also Debora Serracchiani, president of the Labor commission, defines it as “a disconcerting matter, if only because of the opportunity and lack of transparency.”
Not only. The most angry are the Grillini parliamentarians unleashed in the multiple talks. In an uproar the deputy Emanuela Corda, who in conversations with colleagues speaks of an “unworthy” matter, urging the presentation of a parliamentary question. There are people who are committing suicide because they have not yet received the redundancy fund, the country is in “underwear”, there are those who cannot put the plate on the table – this is the meaning of some messages published in the chat by the grillini , furious – but the president of INPS “increases the salary in full emergency.” For five-star MP Carmen Di Lauro, the M5S needs to distance itself from Tridico. His colleague Gabriele Lorenzoni arrives to invoke the resignation of the number one of the INPS. Sabrina De Carlo, Foreign Commission, is on the same wavelength. Foam of anger also Teresa Manzo, deputy of Campania. And there are those who remember the case of Marco Rizzone, the 5 Stelle deputy who was expelled for having collected the € 600 INPS bonus for VAT numbers in difficulty: we cast him out for an unfortunate but not illegal initiative – observes an elected grillino – while Tridical wage increases during the pandemic.
Even the compact center-right calls for a step back from the INPS president. “I have no words,” says the leader of the Lega Matteo Salvini on social networks, “instead of increasing your salary, first you pay the dismissals to the hundreds of thousands of workers who have been waiting for you for months, then you apologize and resign.”
In the afternoon, when the issue has now become a new battlefield for the majority, the director of human resources of the INPS Maria Grazia Sampietro, specifies that “no arrears have been paid to the president and in any case that no arrears have ever been the payment of delayed remuneration for the period from May 2019 to April 15, 2020 is expected. Therefore, the news of a delayed remuneration to the Chairman of 100 thousand euros is unfounded ”. Then comes the note from the Ministry of Labor: “The inter-ministerial decree signed by the ministers Catalfo and Gualtieri on August 7, 2020 does not allow the recognition of any ‘delay’ to President Tridico. The aforementioned decree completes a process initiated by the previous Government to determine the remuneration, which ended with the inauguration of the Boards of Directors of the two bodies. In the case of the INPS, on April 15, 2020. Only from that date, therefore, the president of the Institute has the right to receive the fees determined by law ”.
However, by now the internal government guerrillas have begun. And on the same day school also ends in the middle. Nicola Zingaretti observes the mobilization of teachers and students and asks the government “to listen and give answers, especially regarding the situation of precarious workers. Oh, to pretend that nothing has happened ”. Conte defends the work of her executive: “Asking for all teachers on September 14 is like a fairy tale world.” The shades are these and they are meant to brighten up even more.
