Rome, February 13 (EFE).- The government of the far-right Giorgia Meloni will cut the personal income tax, among other measures, for the farmers who are demonstrating these days throughout Italy, a decision that will help call off the protests, although some groups have advanced who will continue with their mobilizations.
The 50% reduction in the amount of Personal Income Tax (IRPF) for agricultural income between 10,000 and 15,000 euros will be added to the tax exemption for those up to 10,000 euros following the agreement reached this Monday by the majority government, according to local media.
The ultras Brothers of Italy, by Meloni; The far-right League and the conservative Forza Italia reached the pact that unlocks some 200 million euros for farmers following several hours of meeting between the leaders of the three parties, who had divergent positions.
Finally, an amendment in this sense will be included in the decree law on regulatory extensions and tax obligations, which will now have to go through Parliament, where the majority has an absolute majority, and the Government also announced the start of a dialogue with the protesting farmers.
“In light of the publication on the website of the Ministry of Agriculture of the technical table, we are ready to demobilize the concentration of tractors,” said Maurizio Senigagliesi, a spokesman for ‘Agricultural Rescue’, one of the organizations calling for the protests. , which announced “within two or three days” the demobilization of tractors on the roads.
However, not all organizations agree with stopping the protests and while some will maintain their mobilizations, it is still unknown what position the most extremist group will take, which for now remains willing to protest tomorrow, Thursday, at the Circus Maximus in Rome.
“When solutions have to be found, we always find them,” Meloni said following the agreement was announced, downplaying the differences between the government partners and in particular the demands of Matteo Salvini, leader of the League, who wanted the threshold of The tax exemption would be raised to incomes of 30,000 euros.
Their proposals were to “increase the personal income tax exemption (above 10,000 euros), approve the League’s proposal on price control and production costs, and accelerate measures to limit damage caused by wildlife,” in a meeting in which Salvini “confirmed his clear opposition to Europe’s negotiations with South America,” the party said.
“The agreement with the Mercosur countries, in which Brussels continues to work without real guarantees regarding the respect of standards similar to ours, would represent a danger for Italian producers with the arrival on our tables of products that do not offer the same guarantees as ours,” the League added following the meeting in a statement.
“And, furthermore, there is still no global evaluation of the impact of these measures on our market. For the League, this is a new attempt to favor multinationals by harming products made in Italy,” he added.
