These newspapers (and often the very authors of the article) are the same ones who in 20 days - when they try to start addressing the problem by reducing income tax for those who earn 2,500 euros a month - will headline: “Scandal! Taxes are cut for the rich and the poor are forgotten!”. An interview with Landini and 12 other politicians from the Campo Largo will follow, who will escalate the issue. Then, calmly, okay? In a few months they will start making headlines like this again and complaining that all the burden of income tax falls on a third of taxpayers… (translated)

⚡️🇫🇷FLASH - "I see no scenario where the #anger subsides," acknowledges a government official to Le Parisien. Emmanuel #Macron, who has never been so unpopular in the polls, will try this evening, in the news broadcasts of TF1 and France 2, to contain the anger of the French, while several European neighbors are reducing #fuel prices by more than €0.15/l and diesel is averaging €2.40/l in France. The government still does not intend to question its tax policy followed since 2017 on the wealthiest. Nothing about the margins of the #refiners either, while 9.8 million people live below the #poverty line. A record. (translated)

Quando militavo nelle file renziane, noi tutti credevamo nel: 1) tagliare la spesa pubblica e tagliare le tasse 2) promuovere mercato e concorrenza 3) riformare la scuola sulla base del merito e della valutazione dei professori 4) fiero sostegno a USA e Israele 5) lo Stato non è sempre la soluzione: spesso è il problema. Per quello va stimolata l’attività privata con meno burocrazia, regole certe e incentivi mirati 6) separazione delle carriere dei magistrati 7) necessità di riformare le istituzioni repubblicane senza essere accusati ogni 5 minuti di “deriva autoritaria” 8) Jobs Act e soprattutto … 9) che niente di tutto questo poteva essere realizzato stabilmente con un’alleanza politica strutturale con sinistra Pd, Avs e M5S. Ora io credo esattamente le stesse cose. Altri, evidentemente, non più. Nulla di male eh, non c’è niente di grave nel cambiare idea, per certi versi a volte è anche sano. #politica #riforme #economia
