Prodi: “My elementary teacher taught me to count. It’s not what, they say”
Are you out of the race for the Quirinale? “I was already out of the race before. My elementary school teacher taught me to count. It’s not what, they say. There is age, there is that I feel great like this, there are many reasons . And then there is political realism: if a politician has a minimum of wisdom he must be aware of the situations “. He says it Romano Prodi, former prime minister, half an hour more, on Rai3.
Bills: Prodi, the contribution was right but whoever raises taxes loses – “The government’s” line of march in the face of inflation “is the right one, but then you do what you can. The rejected hypothesis of putting a very small increase in taxes on those with the highest incomes for calmier rates, which was right, made me understand that the problem has remained symbolic as it has been for twenty years in Italy: when you touch the tax authorities you must always have the minus sign, if the system is fair it does not matter, who puts the plus sign also to do good, he loses the elections. It’s a big problem, eh “. He says it Romano Prodi, former prime minister, half an hour more, on Rai3.
Is politics distracted by the approaching vote for the Colle? “The distraction – he replies Prodi – it is an excellent political tool when tensions rise. The reality of politics is what it is, a very strong and serious “government” agreement but with divergent basic interests. Not only is the election of the head of state, which from this point of view is marginal, but the political election is not so distant: there are positions taken, an alignment that looks to that moment. When individual interests are triggered, from the managers of the bathing establishments to the imposition of more than 75 thousand euros, they assert their voice and the caravan slows down “, he adds.
