Minister Crosetto Calls for ‍Removal​ of Minister Stipend​ Increase Amendment

One sticking point remains: an amendment that would ⁢increase the salaries⁢ of unelected ministers and undersecretaries, aligning them with‌ their elected ‌counterparts who are deputies or​ senators. Defense Minister ​Guido Crosetto⁤ publicly urged the amendment be withdrawn. In a post on X‌ (formerly Twitter) Monday evening, he stated:​ “We asked the rapporteurs ⁣to withdraw the⁤ amendment”. “It’s⁣ absurd ⁤to leave even a second more space for controversy on⁤ the amendment that equated all ⁤non-parliamentary ministers and undersecretaries to deputies, recognizing expense reimbursements: it ⁤has been like this⁢ for over two years and will continue⁤ until the end of ⁤the ⁣legislature,” Crosetto added. “Is it right? I don’t think ⁢so because it doesn’t make much sense⁤ for the Minister of the Interior or Defense to have different treatment compared to their undersecretary, but‌ it has never ‍mattered before, neither to me nor to‌ my​ colleagues.”

Increased Funding for Freedom Income

Meanwhile, the Montecitorio‍ conference of Group Leaders scheduled⁣ the start of the ‍general debate in the Chamber for Wednesday at 2 p.m. ‍However, the government must​ first secure approval from the Budget Committee.On Monday, proceedings began two hours⁢ late, ⁣with the examination starting at 1 p.m.,two and a half hours after the scheduled time.

Good News for Cnr Precarious Workers:‌ Stabilization Plan Approved

In a bipartisan move, the Pd, Avs, and M5s have secured approval for ​an amendment aimed at ⁤stabilizing the employment of precarious workers ⁣at ⁤the Cnr ‌(National Research Council).

The amendment, proposed by Azione party members ruffino and⁢ Bonetti, underscores their commitment to‌ addressing ​this critical issue.

A ‍Crucial Investment in Public Health

“This approval was essential,” stated ⁤Ruffino and Bonetti,expressing ⁤their satisfaction. “What makes it especially‍ gratifying ​is that the amendment is entirely funded by Azione’s parliamentary resources. We firmly believe ⁤that political action is crucial in tackling eating disorders and ​promoting healthy nutritional⁢ habits.”

Specializzandi Sanitari: Arriva il riconoscimento economico

After 25 years of ⁤mandated specialization without financial recognition,healthcare specialists in Italy are finally set to receive economic compensation. This ‍breakthrough comes in the form of an amendment guaranteeing ​an initial economic treatment for specialists in fields like biology, ⁣chemistry, physics, pharmacy, psychology, dentistry, and veterinary medicine. “For ‍25 years, healthcare ⁣specialists have been forced into a paradox: legal obligation to‌ specialize for access to leadership roles, but without any corresponding financial reward,” explained fratelli d’Italia MP, ⁢Marta Schifone, announcing the amendment’s approval. “Now, ​thanks⁢ to ⁤an initial investment of 30 million euros, we are finally providing them with⁤ the economic recognition they deserve.”

Calls for Amendment Withdrawal

The⁤ Democratic Party (PD) has urged the government ‌to withdraw⁤ an‍ amendment proposing salary increases ⁢for ministers. They argue⁣ that this measure is inappropriate given the current economic climate, where families and businesses are struggling with ‍the rising cost of living.

Chiara Gribaudo, a Member of‌ Parliament and vice president of the Democratic Party, ⁤expressed disappointment at the outcome.”The‌ right-wing coalition has⁢ rejected⁤ my amendment to the budget law that aimed to refinance the fund for professional women’s sports,” she stated. Gribaudo criticized the ⁤government’s actions,noting that they contradicted the previous statements made by Minister ⁤of Sport Abodi about supporting women’s ‌athletics.

Funding Allocated for Local Initiatives

The budget proposal also includes provisions for local initiatives and micro-projects.​ An amendment presented by⁣ the rapporteurs in‍ the Budget Committee allocates funds for these purposes. The amendment, worth 45.3 ⁤million euros‌ in 2025,‍ 41.8 million in ⁢2026,and ​75.5 million in 2027, aims to support local entities and‍ finance projects in areas such as social services, healthcare, infrastructure, sports, and ⁤culture. the funding will be distributed based on specific guidelines issued by the Chambers.

“Today, ⁣after a negative‍ opinion from the Government, the right-wing majority just rejected the amendment ​called ‘Legge Griseri’ which provided for⁢ a halt ⁤to deliveries with weather⁤ alerts ⁣and ⁢the establishment of a ⁣diversified⁢ fund for ⁣those‌ working under​ contract and for the⁢ self-employed able to cover the working ‍day,” ⁢Gribaudo said in a statement.

A Signal of Solidarity

The enhanced funding for the‍ “reddito di libertà” sends a powerful message of solidarity with women experiencing ​violence.

The Italian government is set​ to inject a much-needed boost into the struggling publishing sector.

Government Boosts Funding for Media‍ Sector

An amendment to the budget bill proposes a €20 million (€21.7 million) increase in funding for ⁢the “Fund for​ pluralism and Innovation in Digital Facts and publishing.” This vital injection‍ of⁤ funds is designed to address​ the economic fallout from soaring‍ production‍ costs and ensure the​ continued flow of information to the public.

“In consideration of⁢ the⁤ economic effects ⁢arising ‌from ‌the remarkable increase in production costs and in order to support the ‌demand for information,”​ the amendment states, “the Fund for⁢ Pluralism and Innovation in Digital Information and Publishing is increased by €20⁣ million for the year 2025, for the quota destined for interventions within the​ competence of the Presidency of the Council of Ministers.”

The ⁤Italian ​government has reassured the public about the‌ stability ⁤of its maneuvering plan ⁣for the upcoming year.

Starting ‌January 1,2025,new hires will have the option to contribute⁢ an additional ⁣percentage,up to 2%,to their⁣ pension funds through the national Institute of Social Security (INPS).​ While these additional⁣ contributions will not‌ accelerate⁣ their eligibility for retirement, they will be tax-deductible‌ up to 50%⁢ of the ⁤individual’s income.‍ The aim is to⁢ provide a ‍larger ⁢pension upon reaching retirement age.

This initiative was introduced through an amendment by the budget ⁤plan’s rapporteurs, and was submitted on ‌the evening of December 16, 2024. ⁤

The government assured parliament that‌ informal discussions ⁣guaranteed the smooth ​operation of the entire budgetary process, and it would provide detailed information ⁣through the appropriate technical channels: the technical report and the ‍Accounting Department’s note validating the “A” text of the budget maneuver.This statement was made by Federico⁤ freni, Undersecretary of the Ministry of Economy, responding ⁣to a request for⁣ clarification from the democratic‍ Party (PD) regarding the technical reports attached to the amendments. ## Controversy Surrounding Missing amendments Discontent arose when the list of amendments reformulated by the government,intended for parliamentary groups,did not include proposals from ⁤the PD and the autonomies and Sports (Avs) group. The PD expressed their⁤ strong disapproval, with Ubaldo ⁤Pagano, the group’s leader in the Budget Committee,⁢ deeming ⁢the method “unacceptable.” Avs echoed this protest. ​Federico Freni, the Undersecretary of Economy, quickly assured the concerned‌ groups that the list would be updated to incorporate their⁢ proposed amendments.

Boost for⁢ Arts and Culture: New Funding Announced

In a move to support the vibrant world of arts and culture,the government has announced a ‌significant funding increase for⁣ both orators and ‍street performers.

Support for Orators

Funding for Street Performance

The Fondo nazionale⁣ per lo spettacolo del vivo (National Fund‍ for Live ‌Performance) is set for a substantial boost. Starting in 2025, the fund will increase by €500,000, followed ⁢by an additional €1 million each year in 2026 and 2027. ⁢ The Ministry of‌ Culture, in collaboration with the Ministry of Economy and ‌Finance,‌ will determine the specific implementation details of this initiative.This ‍funding will be‍ allocated to organizations that promote urban ‌theater or organize events, showcases, and festivals featuring exclusively street artists.

New Funds Approved for Cybersecurity and Combating Labor Exploitation

In a recent legislative development, Italy has earmarked significant ‌funding for⁤ two key ‌initiatives: bolstering cybersecurity expertise and tackling the ⁣issue of ⁢illegal foreign​ labor recruitment.

investing in Cybersecurity Professionals:

A new amendment has significantly ⁤increased the funding allocated to a program aimed ​at hiring young experts in computer ‍science and cybersecurity. The amendment adds 200 million euros to​ the program’s budget in ⁣2025, followed by an additional 1 million euros each year in​ 2026⁢ and 2027.

Addressing Illegal⁣ Labor Practices

Italy has also established a dedicated fund to ⁣combat the⁤ illegal recruitment of foreign workers. This initiative, championed by Italia Viva, aims⁢ to address the exploitation of vulnerable workers and protect their rights.The ⁣new fund will receive an⁣ allocation of 1 million euros. These measures highlight Italy’s commitment to both strengthening its digital‌ defenses and ensuring fair labor practices‍ within⁤ its borders. ⁣

The Five Star Movement (M5S) has put forward a ‌series of provocative amendments to Italy’s budget bill, targeting the compensation⁤ of non-parliamentary government ministers.

Salary Minimum for Non-elected Officials?

In a move seemingly aimed at ‍highlighting income disparity,the M5S proposes establishing‌ a minimum⁢ hourly‍ wage ⁤for non-parliamentary ministers and ⁢undersecretaries. Their amendment stipulates a rate of €9 per hour,⁤ calculated based ​on the number of hours worked each month.​

“Ai ministri e ai sottosegretari ‌di stato che non siano parlamentari è‍ riconosciuta, a ‌decorrere dalla data di entrata in ‌vigore della presente legge, una paga oraria pari a euro 9, moltiplicata ‌per‌ il numero⁤ di ore lavorate nell’arco di ciascun mese del mandato”.

This proposal ​directly responds to ⁣the budget bill’s provision that aligns the allowances of non-parliamentary⁢ ministers and undersecretaries with those of their elected counterparts.

Mirroring Pension increase?

Furthering their ​point, the M5S has introduced‍ another amendment calling for an ​€8 monthly increase in allowances for non-parliamentary ministers and undersecretaries. This appears to be a pointed ⁢reference to ⁣the budget’s planned increase in ​minimum pensions.

“riconosciuto un incremento dell’indennità per ciascuna mensilità in corso d’anno di 8 euro”.

The amendments are part of a broader debate within the Italian Parliament regarding government spending, income inequality, and⁣ the compensation of public officials.

New ⁣Rules for Extra-EU Income for Italian Officials

italian parliamentarians,government members,and regional presidents⁣ will soon face‍ new regulations regarding additional paid work outside the European Union. A proposed amendment to the budget bill,put forward by Giovanni Cannata of Fratelli d’italia,stipulates that authorization from their respective institutions will be required for such activities. Though, this requirement will only apply to those with an annual income ⁤below €100,000.

This ⁢is a great start to a‍ news article covering the Italian budget bill amendments! You’ve included a lot of relevant ⁣information ‍adn organized it well with ​clear headings and paragraphs. ⁣



Here are some suggestions for further enhancement:



**Clarity and‌ Conciseness:**



* **Sentence Structure:**



Some sentences are a‌ bit long and complex. Consider breaking them ⁢down ⁣into shorter, simpler ​sentences ⁤for greater clarity. For example:



“Starting in​ 2025, the programmeS dedicated fund will see a yearly ⁢increase of⁣ one million euros” could be:



“Starting in 2025, the program’s fund⁢ will increase by one million euros each year.”



* **Avoid Repetition:**



You repeat ⁣phrases like‌ “the amendment” and “the program” ⁤frequently. ‍Try using ⁢pronouns (it, this) or finding alternative wordings to avoid ⁣repetition.



**Depth and⁢ Context:**



*‍ **Explain the “Reddito di Libertà”:** While you‌ mention it, providing​ a brief ‍description of ⁣what the⁢ “Reddito di Libertà” program is and how it ‍helps ⁤women ‍would be helpful for ‌readers who aren’t familiar with it.



* **Background on Budget Maneuvers:**



You mention the government’s confidence ‌in the budget ​maneuver.Briefly explaining what “budget maneuvers” entail and why they are being debated could provide valuable context.



* **Impact of Funding Increases:**

Rather ‍than simply stating the funding amounts, consider ‌discussing ‌the potential impact these increases could have. Such as:



> “The additional ‍funding for arts and culture⁢ is expected to support…”



**Supporting ⁤Sources:**



* **attributions:** For stronger journalism, cite sources for yoru ‌information. At the very least, mention if these are ‌announcements from specific government officials or press⁢ releases.

*​ **Links:** ⁤If possible, provide links to the budget bill amendments,⁤ news articles, or official government statements for⁣ further reading.



**Style:**



* **Active Voice:** ‌While you use active ⁣voice⁤ in many places, there⁤ are instances where passive voice creeps‍ in (e.g., “The government reassured the ‍public ⁢about ‍the stability…”). Using⁤ active voice generally makes writing‌ more concise and ⁢engaging.



**additional⁤ Ideas:**





* **Include quotes:** Adding quotes⁣ from‌ lawmakers or experts can bring a human⁤ element ‌to the story.

* **Consider different angles:** Could you explore​ the perspectives of those who ⁣might be impacted by these budget ⁣decisions (e.g.,a representative from⁤ the Association of ‍Italian Publishers,a street performer)?





I ⁢hope these suggestions ⁤are helpful. Keep⁤ up the great work!
