The judgment of the Italians on the economic maneuver of the Meloni Government is rather conflicting: 12% consider it a positive step change; 35% give a favorable overall opinion, believing that it is the maximum feasible given the few resources available. On the other hand, 4 out of 10 citizens consider it disappointing. This is what emerges from the survey carried out in the last 24 hours by the Demopolis Institute. A broad consensus of 71% agreed on the decision to assign the main budget law allocation, around 21 billion euros out of a total of 35 billion, to measures for businesses and households against expensive bills. Citizens are different about raising the ceiling for the use of cash from 2 to 5 thousand euros: barely 38% of citizens believe this is a good decision, while the absolute majority does not agree on this. 3 out of 4 Italians declare instead to appreciate the reduction of 2 points of the tax wedge on the payrolls of employees with an income of less than 35 thousand euros, and 3 points for incomes below 25 thousand euros. In the Demopolis survey, the increase in minimum pensions to 600 euros for over-75s is shared by 68% of citizens. On the other hand, the relative majority of Italians do not agree with the scrapping of tax records or with the extension of the flat tax. The Institute directed by Pietro Vento finally highlights an extreme political polarization in the judgment on the budget law, which is widely promoted by voters of the governing parties and equally unanimously rejected by others.
