This afternoon’s vote of confidence in the Senate on labor reform. And the path to the Jobs act appears to be smoother than feared in recent days, for the substantial softening of the positions of the minority dem. Therefore Matteo Renzi – while Pier Luigi Bersani told reporters that “even in the face of a force like that on trust, loyalty and responsibility need” – could claim to “not fear ambushes from the Democratic Party. I am convinced – added the prime minister – it’s natural that everyone will vote in the Democratic Party as it has always happened. “
Optimistic President of the Council, to which, on the eve of the EU summit in Milan, came from German government sources an informal ‘support’ of Chancellor Merkel. The same source Berlin, although “not expressing judgments” about the dynamics of a State Parliamentary Union and the reform itself, did not fail to add that “simplify the access of young people to work is certainly one way to fight youth unemployment” .
OPTIMISM
But the optimism of the Prime Minister also came from face to face – the first since he sits at Palazzo Chigi – with the three trade union confederations had in the early morning. And they got the 
maximum results possible in a context of strong opposition such as the one marked by the confrontation sull’art.18. Taken for granted the adversity of the CGIL to renziana labor reform and, consequently, the confirmation of the big protest rally organized for October 25 in Rome, Renzi scored an opening by the CISL and the UIL that are
or less, the premier also showed in yesterday’s press conference to want to pull straight on his way: “We will not be blocked by vetoes or negative opinions,” said Renzi remembering that the Jobs Act “in the Democratic Party has done a lot of work seriously, even changing the initial line to receive some criticism. But at some point you have to decide, and the management has decided. ” It will be the result of this work combine to produce the maxi-amendment that, after the last tune-ups yesterday, will arrive in the late morning in the Senate to be voted on in the afternoon with confidence. The goal is to have the prime minister today, while Milan will preside at the EU summit on growth, the first yes Parliament on the reform of labor. A reform of which he said: “Other than the slogan! We are producing measurements of rare intensity, which will allow us to introduce ourselves to the discussion with our European partners with a positioning extraordinary. ” A job, that of the Jobs Act, which Renzi – replicating those who, like the Camusso, compared him to Thatcher – intends to claim as a sort of flag of European inspired progressivism “to the” third way “of Bill Clinton and Tony Blair or economic policy and democratic left of Obama. ” The Secretary has in fact dem distanced himself from the Iron Lady. While “respecting his extraordinary leadership – he said – if there is a person from whom I feel culturally distant is precisely the one who said” there is no such thing as society. ‘”
A judgment, to Renzi on Thatcher, that may not be shared by his greatest ally, Angelino Alfano, who yesterday continued the pressure of Ncd in favor of the trust and of ‘”integrity” of the Jobs Act: “An act – said – that gives the imprinting reformist and on which the government or get the trust or falls. “
