“The majority I have in mind for the European Commission is EPP-liberals-conservatives. Le Pen out”
“The income meter is a decree by the deputy minister of Economy Leo and I am against it. It doesn’t work. Litigation is never positive.” This was said by Foreign Minister and Deputy Prime Minister Antonio Tajani, interviewed by Angelo Maria Perrino, at the fifth edition of the Made in Italy Meeting organized by AEPI and Affaritaliani.it. “The income meter contains a philosophy that is an alternative to that of the tax reform we are implementing. It is a question of fiscal oppression, like a police state. We are for discussion and the fight against tax evasion cannot be done with these means. Visco applauded the revenue meter and that means it’s not good. In the Council of Ministers on Friday I will propose the abolition of the income meter and the Prime Minister’s statements today go in the right direction and I am pleased”.
Tajani then claimed Forza Italia’s victory over the failure to introduce the so-called sugar tax, the tax on carbonated drinks. As regards the Superbonus, the deputy prime minister stated that he shares the minister’s battle Giorgetti “for the maintenance of public accounts” but to disagree with the “retroactivity of the law”, which was passed to the commission “thanks to the vote of Italia Viva“. Tajani also said that “Forza Italia will propose an agenda to remedy the situation” but that “the government is absolutely not at risk and that we will continue to vote for confidence until the last day of the legislature”.
In Europe “I know how to defeat the left, I can explain it because I did it. Salvini said not to vote for me because the candidate of the left and I were the same thing” but “I was president of the European Parliament and I defeated the left”. In Europe “the majority that I believe is desirable is that made up of popular, liberal and conservative people”, said the deputy prime minister. “That majority is the same one that led me to become President of the European Parliament in 2017, defeating the left-wing candidate“. And again: “All the polls show the European People’s Party as the leading political force in the new European Parliament and we have indicated Ursula von der Leyen as the candidate, then the heads of state will decide but it will not be possible to ignore the European People’s Party and the president of the Commission will be of the EPP”. Le Pen? “It is withdrawn, like the League in recent years, not for a personal question but for a political one.”
“We are making the presence of the Italian government felt by our companies” after the outbreak of the UniCredit case and “we are protecting them”, said Deputy Prime Minister Tajani. As for the borders in the Balltic Sea, they are “signs of strength” that Putin “launches at the West” are in reality “skirmishes and provocations“, underlined the secretary of Forza Italia. But – Tajani specifies – “we will not send soldiers to Ukraine to fight and we are not on the eve of the Third World War”.
