A maneuver of about €30 billion for 2025, more than €35 billion for 2026 and more than €40 billion in 2027, with interventions that in the government's intention are aimed at reducing the tax burden and supporting the incomes of the most vulnerable, including employees and pensioners. A maneuver that, in the end, also contains the famous "contribution" from banks and insurance companies, totaling about €3.5 billion, which was also endorsed by Forza Italia. Economy Minister Giancarlo Giorgetti and his deputy, Maurizio Leo, yesterday explained the budget law passed by the Council of Ministers and already sent to Brussels for appropriate evaluations. "Someone calls it extra profit, someone calls it contribution, I call it sacrifice: I hope now someone understands what I meant when I used this overused word, now its meaning becomes intelligible," Giorgetti explained, just about the intervention on banks and insurance companies, after days of speculation about the meaning of the term he used, "sacrifices for all". “In addition to the fishermen who are already making sacrifices, in addition to the workers who are already making sacrifices, now the banks, insurance companies and ministries are making them, with an average reduction of 5% in the current expenses of state administrations. But we will not stop at that, the whole universe of entities and foundations in various capacities that receive contributions from the state will also be called upon to comply with the elementary rules of good finance”.
