“The center-right could not exist without us.” This is, in summary, the thought of Silvio Berlusconi in a passage from a letter to the Corriere della Sera dedicated to the will to collaborate with the majority in this difficult moment: first referring to the relationship with the League, and then to the conditions for vote the next deviations. budget, in particular saving self-employment from the crisis. And with the proposal for a blank fiscal semester.
Forza Italia has decided to respond positively to the call of the Head of State for institutional collaboration.
It is a natural choice for us, even taken for granted, since it is assumed that it is not a question of political support for a government that we no longer approve of by a majority whose values and programs are incompatible with ours – Berlusconi observes – but precisely from our own values. for us arises the duty of responsibility towards the Italians and therefore from the will to lend a hand, from the opposition, to get Italy out of the emergency in which we find ourselves. It is even superfluous to add that this does not question our belonging to the center-right, which is not only our home but without us it could never win, much less govern. It is unthinkable, in a large European country, a center-right government that does not have a marked liberal character ”.
Instead – continues the former prime minister – “it is a question of being aware that Italy is in the midst of a dramatic crisis, a health and economic crisis without equal at least since the post-war period. Those who previously had no guarantee, self-employment, merchants, artisans, professionals, small and very small entrepreneurs, CIF, subcontracted workers, today they are in danger of being left alone, I do not want to create misunderstandings: I do not think that employees are privileged at all.
Precisely for this reason, however, there cannot be two Italies, one that is kept, the other that has to manage alone ”.
“What we ask of the government and the majority is to heal this disparity – Berluscon observes – guaranteeing self-employment, professionals, merchants, artisans, CIF, all the necessary protection, not punctual but structurally. one of the conditions to vote together for the next budget ‘deviations’. This is achieved in various ways, first of all the blank fiscal semester: the suspension of all payments to the State for these categories at least until March 31, 2021 ”.
“But of course this is not enough,” he says, “our proposal is to assign compensation, equivalent to a significant part of the income declared in the previous year, for the months of forced inactivity or serious reduction of activity.”
Furthermore, for the “approximately 2 million self-employed persons registered in the private pension funds and in the separate management of the Inps” excluded from the non-refundable contribution, it is necessary to guarantee “at the end of this year a significant compensation, adequate to the loss of business volume, flat rate “. Everything to be financed “unfortunately with debts”. To achieve all this “we are willing to assume the responsibility of working, for the good of the country, with a government very far from us. I would like the entire opposition to do so, without confusing roles with the majority.”
