Nuclear, minimum wage and tax relief. In pills the program of the Third pole of Calenda
Here are the proposals on economy, work, energy and taxation of the Third Pole promoted by Action by Carlo Calenda and Italia Viva by Matteo Renzi
Four women and two men presented the program of the Third Pole , the coalition born from the alliance of Action with Italia Viva. Carlo Calenda must have thought of taking shelter in this way from the accusations of poor valorisation of the female components that are raging in the PD field these days. At the presentation of the program , 68 pages for 20 points, were present, in addition to Calenda, Luigi Marattin, Maria Elena Boschi, Mara Carfagna and Elena Bonetti. Absent, but not for strategy assures Calenda, Matteo Renzi . "Today there is not, but it is not tactical – says Calenda – we will make a great initiative together with Milan".
THE TWENTY PROGRAM POINTS
The third pole has articulated its proposal for the government of the country into twenty chapters : Productivity and growth, Growth of the South, Energy and environment, Work, Taxation, Justice, Health, School, University and research, Rights and equal opportunities, Youth, Welfare and third sector, Public administration, Transport, Innovation, digital and space economy, Agriculture, Culture, tourism and sport, Immigration, Defense and security, Institutional reforms, Europe, foreign and Italians abroad.
ENERGY: THE THIRD POLE SAYS YES TO NUCLEAR
To combat climate change, the third pole proposes an energy policy in three phases. In the short term, the urgency is to free oneself from dependence on Russian gas , also by increasing "national gas production by re-activating and upgrading existing plants", " evaluating possible partnerships with gas production companies to share costs in exchange of supplies at agreed prices ”and strengthening“ the renewable energy strategy ”. For the medium-term phase, the objective is to reduce CO2 emissions by 55% by 2030 with renewable sources. "We must continue the path of decarbonization – it says -, with the aim of reducing CO2 emissions by 55% compared to the 1990 level, possibly by 2030". Zero emissions, on the other hand, is the long-term goal. “The“ zero emissions ”target for 2050 passes from a strong electrification of energy uses, with an electricity requirement between double and triple the current one. For this it is necessary to use the right generation mix, which includes renewables and nuclear, using the best technologies available ”.
WORK: MINIMUM WAGE AND RETHINKING CITIZENSHIP INCOME
In the field of work, the first point addressed by the Third Pole concerns the introduction of a minimum wage. The centrists also suggest "fighting precariousness by promoting regular flexibility" and "supporting companies that invest in the requalification of the workforce (not just employees.") Citizenship income, a measure strongly opposed by the Third Pole, is not eliminated but reformed by suspending the disbursement of the benefit after the first refusal of a suitable job offer. In terms of social safety nets, the centrists think about strengthening the redundancy fund for professionals and active policies for the self-employed. During the presentation, the former Minister for the South Mara Carfagna focused on the chapter concerning the Growth of the South. "We must guarantee full time which in the South is almost a mirage," she said.
TAXES: REDUCING IRPEF AND FIGHTING EVASION WITH DIGITIZATION
The leader of Action on fiscal policy has no doubts: “ taxes must be reduced “. They do not find space in the Action and Italia Viva patrimonial program or inheritance taxes while the reduction of personal income tax has a special place, in particular for young people: "A complete tax reduction up to 25 years and 50 percent up to 30" , Luigi Marattin specified. The Third Pole would like to reduce the " taxation of savings " and reform the flat-rate regime by introducing a "two-year concessional tax slide that gradually accompanies entry to ordinary personal income tax" for those who exceed the 65 thousand euro threshold. On the front of the fight against tax evasion, he appeals to the PNRR, one of the objectives is, in fact, the reduction of the tax gap From 2014 to 2019, as a consequence of the introduction of electronic taxation, the tax gap to 15.8% by 2024. "This goal can only be achieved by continuing to invest in digitization and at the same time simplifying and reducing compliance".
JUSTICE: SEPARATION OF CAREERS AND REDUCING APPEALS IN THE EVENT OF ABSOLUTION
A guarantee-based approach characterizes the proposals on the subject of justice in the Third Pole. Provision is made for the restoration of the statute of limitations, the introduction of rules aimed at reducing the cases of appeal by the public prosecutor in the event of acquittal and the separation of the careers of magistrates. As regards the execution of precautionary measures, it is suggested to increase alternative measures to imprisonment.
THIRD POLE ON THE PA: RAISE THE FUNDS FOR MUNICIPALITIES TO 750 MILLION TO REALIZE THE WORKS OF THE PNRR
The reform of the PA also finds space in the program of the Third Pole. The goal is to digitize participatory processes and, as far as possible, eliminate bureaucracy for the elderly and people with disabilities. The centrists suggest raising the funds available to municipalities to 750 million euros a year for the design costs necessary to carry out the works envisaged by the PNRR and not to count the incentives deriving from projects financed by the PNRR to reach the annual limit. provided for public employees. However, this "generosity" clashes with the positions of the centrist coalition on the state presence in the economy. "Alitalia must be sold and Ilva must be reprivatized," said Marattin.
INSTITUTIONAL REFORMS AND INTERNATIONAL LOCATION
The old Renzian project of making the prime minister the "mayor of Italy" is back to quell the instability of the governments. “To try to restore this relationship of trust and at the same time guarantee greater stability to governments, we propose to take as a model the institution closest to the citizens for a reform of the constitution. This is why we propose the direct election by the citizens of the Prime Minister on the model of the mayors of the larger cities – writes the Third Pole -. The reform of the so-called mayor of Italy is also accompanied by a necessary reform of the electoral system ”. The international position is firmly pro-Atlantic and European, so much so that it is proposed to adopt a common foreign policy that must lead, over time, to "a more consolidated integration of the army and common defense".
