Article 18, Poletti intervenes. But it was better than the silence

Articolo 18, Poletti interviene. Ma era meglio il silenzio

After having been silent for days, leaving the various Alfano and Sacconi imperversassero with declarations observance against Article 18 - while everyone is asking where it was finished the minister of labor - finally Giuliano Poletti decides to intervene. And he does an interview to Corriere della Sera that, while it clarifies that the abolition of article. 18 Is not on the agenda, it raises more questions than it clarifies.This is a directly news,article 18. The insertion contract to safeguards growing? Are we going to do, but how to make it more convenient than the fixed-term contract? Boh, answered by the minister. The high unemployment among young people? The only answer is the usual rhetoric of governmental Youth Garantee, even if the same minister says that the south is not putting in the field appropriate initiatives to make it working (and on the other hand, as already pointed out by numerous experts, including that of Voce.info, the scheme is likely to go to grease the employment agencies, without creating real jobs). The shock absorbers universal the much-touted by Renzi, so that no young or pregnant woman remains more without safeguards? Poletti has confused: should pay companies but also the general taxation, "but we have the problem of resources".


The esodati future coming from cassa integrazione income guarantee that will not work and will not be retired? It is a theme that we have in processing, but it is closely linked to resources. THE Irap? It affects the companies with the highest rate of productivity and should be cut, "but we have the problem of resources". The only thing that is certain that it is evident from the interview and that on the enlargement of protections, and other interventions that would help the development, there is no certainty, no hope. Only on cuts the minister seems to have clear ideas: you line pensions high.This is a directly news,article 18. But that means the minister for pensions high? The figure is not provided, but can be inferred from the threatening response to the question of the journalist who note that pensions really high are a very low number. "It depends on where you fixed the rod". Therefore, intervention will be on pensions really high, but on those medium-high. In other words: new taxes on the usual middle-class taxable. What is emerging is a discouraging context but perfectly in line with the government: no clear idea of how to leave the spiral of the recession, an avalanche of good intentions illusory that everyone knows how to be devoid of cover, the desperate search for new fronts on which cut, as if now he had not understood that the cuts to their families and their incomes are not that aggravate the regressive spiral. In all of this, we should also remain cheerful and continue to spend the resources that we have not.This is a directly news,article 18. If at least it had remained the sense of the ridiculous, the situation would be tragic, but at least the farce there would have been spared.
