The Economy Minister returns to the situation of the interview in which he spoke of “more sacrifices for everyone” in light of the new budget law: “We are children of Pontida. We are on the side of the people who work and produce and make sacrifices today.”
“Thank you because I have the opportunity to explain what happened in the last few days.” So the Minister of Economy Giancarlo Giorgetti returned from the stage of Pontida to clarify the interview regarding the maneuver in which he spoke about sacrifices. “It’s an interview I gave, not to the Gazzetta dello Sport, but to Bloomberg”, he explained, who “asked me if the government was planning to tax the banks and extra profits”.
“Everyone has to make sacrifices”
“I simply said that everyone must make the sacrifices, based on Article 53 of the Constitution” which refers to “those who have the greatest ability to contribute”, emphasized the minister wearing a green Lega polo shirt under his rally jacket. “When I was doing that interview I knew what this government had done and what I have done in recent years”, he showed, citing the number of VAT that benefited from the flat tax and the workers who took the tax wedge out of it. “I think of the worker from Lumezzane”, he said, “they make sacrifices and it is right that someone else makes sacrifices too”.

“I know how to distinguish between those who make sacrifices and those who can make them”
“The government wants to translate this into facts”, ie Article 53 of the Constitution, “which is the principle of common sense and we are doing so through dialogue with the parties”, he continued, thanking Confindustria. “Be still and calm,” he said. “We are children of Pontida. We are on the side of those who work and produce and make sacrifices today. The Minister of Economy is the son of a fisherman and a textile worker – he said, speaking in the third person himself – fishing and textile worker. and he knows how to distinguish between who makes sacrifices and who can make them.”
