Sergio Mattarella, the background: crisis already open on the maneuver, then the Quirinale intervened

In the end he must intervene Sergio Mattarella is avoid the government crisis. A government torn by internal clashes between Pd and Italia Viva, which on Friday 6 December have quarreled all day on tax approaching the breaking point. In the evening there were twists, tables closed and reopened, exits of Giuseppe Conte for institutional meetings with the president of Chad and with president Mattarella, he reveals the weather. And the meeting at the Quirinale between the head of state and the premier was decisive. Even though Conte then insisted that "with Mattarella there was no mention of the majority holding".

The compromise reached, in the end, was the cancellation of the tax on company cars. A second step back was on the Plastic tax: "We reduced the impact by 85% and his departure was postponed to the first of July", explained Conte. I also step back on the Sugar tax that will start but from October 2020 ". Indeed, the prime minister said," we will give more money to families and to all citizens because we will distribute 3 billion super bonuses for purchases with electronic money at the end of 2020 ".

In short, the government itself is saved a few seconds after the explosion. "After the approval of the bill there will be a different climate and there are many resources in the pipeline", added Conte, who after having almost completely withdrawn the fiscal squeeze, said: "It is a lie that it is the tax maneuver" .
