The issue is highly topical given the next referendum, we will vote on September 20 and 21, where Italians will be called to confirm or not the reform that provides for a total cut of 345 parliamentarians as of the next legislature.
One of the central aspects of this referendum campaign is precisely that of savings, since for the Yes front with the scissors the State will have benefits equal to 100 million the year while, for supporters of No, the figure should not exceed 82 million stupid.
Regardless of the outcome of the referendum, the fact is that the Italian Parliament however, it will remain the most expensive in Europe. Under the 2019 budget, the House and Senate as a whole must move forward 1.52 billion a year.
In detail the expense for the The room is 970 million, while for him The Senate needed 550 million. This money is used to pay the salaries of parliamentarians, reimbursements, social security expenses, old annuities, contributions to parliamentary groups, and all other ordinary expenses.
The most expensive room in Europe
In light of these numbers Daily fact compared all Lower rooms of the main European countries, therefore for us only Montecitorio, being “the only ones elected and voting for confidence in the government”.
According to calculations made by the newspaper, the Camera with its annual expenditure of 970 million it would cost each Italian citizen 16.20 euros per year. A figure higher than the rest of Europe.
In Germany in fact, the expenditure of each citizen would be 14.10 euros per year, with the gap that would later increase significantly when looking at France (7.70 euros), the UK (3.74 euros) and the Spain (1.80 euros).
Even saving, in the best of cases, 100 million a year with the victory of Yes in the referendum, things should not change much: to really reduce the costs of Parliament, we will also have to put our hands in the miscellaneous salaries and benefits reserved for our parliamentarians.
