Salvini, sorry: wasn’t it supposed to be the moment of national harmony? Why did you present distrust to Minister Gualtieri?
“Guys, here we are on closing day 45 … We exercised the art of dialogue, calmness, velvet for 40 days. And we have presented 204 constructive amendments to the Cura Italia decree. All things agreed one by one with traders, farmers, doctors, unions. Result: 203 amendments rejected. And the Mes? »

The Mes? Go on …
“We will pay for it in blood.”
–
Secretary, don’t you overdo it? In the end, the EU Commission will present bonds on very advantageous terms. It was not at all obvious …
“The issue of bonds will serve to finance the European recovery fund, on which the Council has decided not to decide. To evaluate their advantages, it will be necessary to see which eurotaxes will be introduced to repay them. The only sure thing for now is what nobody wanted: the use of funds from the Mes. Money loaned at too short deadlines and under precise conditions, decided by Berlin. We will also talk about it on Courier service in two or three years “.
–
Was the alternative the ECB?
“Of course. The most advantageous conditions, those at zero cost, are the money of the European Central Bank. These are the resources used by Mario Draghi, to be clear… Whatever it takes, whatever it takes. The ECB, like other central banks, serves to print money and guarantee money to states. Between now and the end of the year, 200 billion emissions are expected for Italy. It could have been 300 or more. But it’s not just about this, they make fun of us ».
–
What are you talking about?
«Excuse me: didn’t Giuseppe Conte say that we would not sign the Mes? Didn’t he say that Mes is old? Didn’t you come to tell us that it was not necessary to vote in parliament because we wouldn’t have signed the Mes so much? ».
–
Could it be that you played your cards trusting that the northern countries and maybe the 5 stars would have spiked the deal?
«Look, it is not just us who say that the Mes is not going. I remind you of the appeal of 101 well-known economists that was spread by Micromega: not a newspaper close to the League “.
–
If that’s why, Silvio Berlusconi, his ally, has also expressed himself clearly in favor of Mes.
«I heard Berlusconi a few days ago. We talked about industry, advertising, turnover and real problems. Then, he left for three days in a row saying “long live the Mes” … I’m sorry that he has joined Prodi and Monti, I seem to be returning to 2011. What should I say? I hope nobody intends to crutch the government. Maybe to allow someone to serve as minister for six months. “
–
In short, never ever a government of national unity?
“To do what? Monti Bis? But please … Look, it hasn’t brought the country well. They have already said that they want to regularize 600 thousand irregular immigrants, they are the front of bureaucracy and leadership. ”
–
The hypothesis of national truce is also closed?
«Look, we on May Day, workers’ day, will present a great national reconstruction plan, we are working hard on it. If we see a seriousness different from that seen so far … And then we would like an immediate signal on the reduction of bureaucracy “.
–
Abolish the procurement code?
“Also, of course. But for the moment, I was thinking about the immediate end of self-certifications. In order to let the law enforcement agencies resume their work and the citizens are freed from unnecessary obligations: from 9 March to 23 April over 9 million 700 thousand people were checked. Think about the volume of the pieces of paper … The penalties also hit only 3.6% of those arrested. It means that the Italians have been respectful ».
–
While what will the May 1st plan foresee?
«As we said, the radical modification of the procurement code: enough with the preliminary checks. He checks himself later, and whoever has been clever ends up in a cage. And then the zeroing of tax collection files. They tell me 8 million are coming. Let’s take this ballast out of Italy. “
–
In short, a grave amnesty?
“Call it what you prefer, call it reset of the past. They tell me that 8 million tax collection files are on the way: they are torn. You pay 10% of the amount and start again. But the truth is that in the majority they have other thoughts. “
–
What are you talking about?
«Yes, the 5 stars will not have to worry about the debts we will contract to get out of Covid: they will leave the hole to those who come later. But this is not a joke to Salvini, it will be a joke to the Italians. In Italy there are about 8000 billion between owned houses and savings. It seems clear to me that someone is betting on this money. I am ready to bet: they will either enter current accounts or on houses «.
