Italia dei Valori has taken action so that the Finance Law can contain an important package of regulations. A package that contains the rationalization of the costs of politics, the elimination of waste, the reduction of the pockets of inefficiency and privilege that still remain within our political system
The regulations that we are putting forward fix an upper limit to the payments made to those who are active, directly or indirectly, in politics. In particular the golden salaries of public managers, of ministers and of undersecretaries.
Many of these regulations have already been approved in the Lower House.
I have been told that for technical reasons the regulation fixing an upper limit on payments received by politicians at the level of villages, towns and cities, provinces, areas and mountain communities has been excluded. These upper limits need to be reduced by at least a third.
This regulation has been presented another time to the Upper House.
On this point that is crucial to our commitment, we will fight to the end in the Upper House.
