THE NUMBERS OF THE SUN 24 HOURS

EXTRACT FROM AN ARTICLE OF THE SUN 24 HOURS ON THE EFFECTS OF IRPEF REDUCTIONS:

36.6% of the 7 billion that the government and majority project dedicates to the reduction of personal income tax will go to cut the tax of those who declare up to 20 thousand euros of gross income per year. Another 12.7%, that is just under 900 million, is destined for the slightly higher step, which houses incomes between 20 thousand and 26 thousand euros. Climbing the income pyramid, then, the financial weight of the discounts is reduced, up to the 40-50 thousand euro range where another 15.4% of the cuts are concentrated. Then the rapid descent begins again with the funds earmarked for income above that figure.

The debate on the distribution of the effects of the Irpef cut coming with the maneuver has flared up in recent days, especially after the proclamation of the general strike by CGIL and UIL. Big words have flown about the "gift to the rich" in the budget law, opposed with equal vehemence by the defenders of the reform. The numbers, however, speak the most effective language to understand what is really going on.

The geography of the tax discounts planned by the new mechanism of the four rates and reinforced deductions, drawn from the data processed by the Mef at the table with the majority, clearly shows the objectives of the intervention. The essential indicator for understanding them, however, is not the absolute value of the tax reductions: we must look at the weight of the discounts in relation to the current income tax distribution.

EXCERPT FROM AN ARTICLE FROM THE SUN 24 HOURS ON TRACKERS:

If at the beginning of January 2021 there were 14,920 trackers, almost a year later, at the beginning of December, they became 11,352, in practice 3,568 fewer. A haemorrhage of important personnel and which certainly makes hunting the virus even more difficult since the contact tracing activity consists not only in swabbing, but also in tracing all the close contacts of an infected person at least in the previous 48 hours.

Thus it turns out that from the ISS report published on January 8 (11 months ago) with data updated to January 5, the Regions were much better equipped than they are today, based on the data of the last report of December 3 (data to 1 December). In fact, the numbers show that almost a year ago the Regions counted on average about 3 trackers per 10 thousand inhabitants, albeit with striking differences, and today they reach 2 with difficulty. practically all the Regions have cut the markers (with the exception of Lazio, Sicily and Trento) and eight in one year have even halved their staff. These are Emilia, Liguria, Lombardy, Bolzano, Puglia, Tuscany, Umbria and Valle d'Aosta. The thing is even more serious if we add the fact that in October 2020, in the middle of the second wave, the Civil Protection launched a tender to quickly hire 2 thousand new trackers. After more than a year, the question is obvious: where did they go?

EXTRACT FROM AN ARTICLE OF ANTS ABOUT ELISABETTA BELLONI (DIS):

There are those who build their careers by enrolling in the category of "reserves" of the Republic. Elisabetta Belloni has chosen another role. Play as a starter. And, with the industriousness of the ants, he conquers primates that do not decline into the singular. This is why we have chosen the Director General of Dis as the "Ant of the Year"

A prime number, but without loneliness. Elisabetta Belloni's destiny is to arrive first by opening a new season with non-solitary benefits.

When Prime Minister Mario Draghi called her to head the intelligence sector, human harmony played a secondary role. Not that it was missing: with the prime minister he shares a past among the benches of the Roman high school Massimiliano Massimo, a Jesuit school that in recent decades has played the central role of training ground for the country's elite.

The arrival in Piazza Dante rather marked the culmination of a career at the Farnesina under the banner of two polar stars: continuity and discretion. It is not a detail. The Italian cliché of a power that appears such only if exhibited finds a clear denial in the figure of Belloni. In her, the idea of ​​power manifests itself through the categories of discretion and industriousness, rigorously declined together.
