Rome, Oct. 18 (Adnkronos) – “The European Parliament rejects the flat tax, one of the flagships of the Italian right. In fact, an amendment was approved to the resolution ‘Guidelines for the policies of the Member States in favor of employment’ in which it asks to keep the reference to the progressiveness of the tax and social security systems, as indeed the Italian Constitution states. The assaults by the Brothers of Italy were rejected, the amendment passed with 311 votes in favor, 300 against and 30 abstentions. Among other things, the right was divided as Forza Italia voted against while the League’s MEPs abstained ”. Thus Tiziana Beghin, head of delegation of the 5 Star Movement to the European Parliament, in a note.
“For the 5 Star Movement, taxation must be fair and instead today we are witnessing the paradox that large multinationals enjoy privileged treatment, while those small and medium-sized ones that represent the backbone of the European production system are harassed – he continues -. Finally, we express our satisfaction with the approval of two other key amendments: that for a fair remuneration for traineeships and apprenticeships and that for a social rescue tool following the economic and social consequences for the EU of the Russian war in Ukraine. , a kind of new Sure with a common debt issue. On this too, the right split, Forza Italia against, some Brothers of Italy MEPs in favor and others against and the Lega abstained. In short, the right has few and confused ideas ”, concludes Beghin.
