The challenge of D’alema: “Ready to split, the new party is worth 10%”. Renzi: “If I go back to the government cut income Tax” – The Republic

(reuters) ROME – to Cut income Tax and not to increase the Vat. Matteo Renzi feels he is already in the election campaign and puts it on the carpet immediately the question of fees with a post on his blog from the evocative title "Scrap Dracula". "If after the elections we will return to the government we will have to re sume the reasoning from the personal income Tax, and not only that. The last time that it increased the Vat that was in September 2013, prior to our arrival: the time when there ricordatevela well because it must be the last", he writes, in fact the former premier.

A message who knows a lot about early voters and that serves to once again attack the "old guard" of the Pd. "The left and the tax – observed the former prime minister – have always had a relationship, complicated, in Italy. We were painted as the party that only knew how to raise the fiscal pressure, we have given the idea of considering the pockets of italians as the atm to solve every problem of the financial statements.

After the attack against the "old party", also comes that of the personal against the men, and ministers that have governed the party and the government: "Some of our leaders of the past, then, are presented as champions of the fight against tax evasion through a method of the absurd: a tax vampire, controls to the carpet, the logic of punishment, first of all. A wrong choice, and devastating". Putting together the vampire and Dracula it is clear the reference to the minister of the Prodi government Vincenzo Visco, renamed exactly Dracula from the centre-right, and Tommaso Padoa-Schioppa, the minister prodiano, which stated that "paying taxes was good." Examples of fiscal austerity that the premier is common to that adopted by the Monti government.

Us, continues Renzi, we have adopted a different strategy: "In the fight against tax evasion – insists the former prime minister – we have scrapped the model for Dracula, and we have chosen the fisco-model 2.0, The conclusion is that if you pay all, you pay less. A new way to combat tax evasion has allowed us to lower taxes. Pay all to pay less, really. As it happened in the small, with the canon the past from 113 euros to 90 euros". Of course there is also the claim of the measure of the 80 euro and the victory in the fight against tax evasion. Renzi, also insists on the fact that he has not increased Vat and will not increase in the event of his return to the government. The subject rather thorny because the safeguard clauses in the past few years that require precisely the increase in Vat, have been postponed to 2018 and 2019. And then in the next Final, April, and in the next Stability Law, in October, the government will have to find € 19 billion to defuse t he mine.

But to keep bank is the clash between the former premier, Massimo D’alema, on the congress of the Pd and the future of the party. That does not stop. Today, D’alema has raised more net the hypothesis of a spin-off. Interviewed by Bianca Berlinguer to the "White Paper", D’alema said: “early Elections? The day in which, without changing the electoral law, Renzi was asked to Customers to resign to go to vote early, I believe that the reaction should be that of preparing a list." The former Foreign minister adds: "I Hope that we never get to the spin-off. But if in the left it will form a new party will surely surpass 10% of the vote. I say that because I did do some research". D’alema, however, does not exclude an alliance with the Pd: "it is One thing to ally with you having a strength and being able to influence. It is another thing to surrender in the hands of a governing group".
