Renzi gives EUR 500 pensioners. It’s a bonus or a commercial election? – La Gazzetta dello Sport

Yesterday Matteo Renzi went to the Arena, the television lounge Giletti on Rai 1, and promised a one-time fee of 500 Euros to all pensioners who take less than three thousand euro per month. Recessed timetabled for August 1.

The usual pre-election move. Type 80 Euros as last time.
Skillful way of turning the omelette. And, for sure, electoral move. Remember the history of pensions and the Constitutional Court.

No, I do not remember.
the end of 2011, taking the then head of state Napolitano sent Berlusconi and Monti called home at Palazzo Chigi, the new government decided to freeze the adjustments Istat pensions. That is, each year ISTAT tells us what has increased the cost of life – 1%, 5% or whatever – and on the basis of this percentage increase is a whole series of costs. For example, the cost of the rent of the houses. Or the cost of pensions for the state. For retirees, the upgrade Istat is usually a nice gift, their pensions from the beginning of the year are adjusted to the cost of living. But at the end of 2011 we were with empty coffers, and we had to save, then Monti announced that, for those who took retirement about 1,500 euro per month (three times the minimum), there would have been no more adjustment. Thanks to this, Europe allowed us to go on living without commissioners, that is, without the Troika that has strangled the Greeks. But two unions, and Federmanager Manageritalia, resorted to the Constitutional Court, arguing that the freezing of the adjustment Istat violated certain principles of our Magna Carta. And a few weeks ago the Constitutional Court proved him right!

Now I remember: for Renzi it would be an outlay of 18 billion.
Farewell Italian accounts. The Court has been highly criticized for that decision, taken over all with a majority of only one vote, that of the president, and now it is going on all debate on the Court, the criteria by which argues, on the privileges (huge) enjoyed by , whether or not face policy and in favor of those who do. Suspicions grew when one discovered that the lawyer appointed to represent the views of the Government in the courts is supreme un’antirenziana of fire, and so on. While our heads were rimbombate this din, Renzi had the problem of a complicated decision to make. Disobey the Court can not, the money to be returned are not there, the announcement of some decree, albeit in a soft, were to maintain the freeze would give arguments to the opposition and could have been pay dearly at the polls of regional elections . And here’s the loophole: Giletti!

We announced the € 500 and you do not add more.
A one-off! Under the three thousand euro gross! “Obviously there will be a full refund.” Therefore, they could get more money. A measure organic will be taken further, in times less bubbling controversy and electoral interests. For the moment let the news positively: four million Italians will give back 500 Euros one-off on August 1.

The money where it finds them?
“There I am two billion which I had kept for measures against poverty. ” Carla Cantone, secretary of the CGIL pensioners and certainly a non-friend of the prime minister, said: “Come and discuss with us before moving, so as not to make mistakes.” Renato Brunetta of Forza Italy has protested to the mega-campaign ad of the Secretary of the Democratic Party. Who also said that by next year will be completed the Salerno-Reggio Calabria, launched signs of peace to the teachers (“Teachers have to understand that you can not threaten the blockade of the ballots. Who wants to talk about the school will Government in an attentive interlocutor. On school we are saying: “Help us to understand where we are wrong on the merits.” We put more money on the school in the past and open ourselves to the meritocracy “), he added that” the Istat data on GDP growth They should be treated with common sense “, and finally defended the Jobs Act,” Now my generation can access a growing contract protections, previously insecure can now learn the meaning of words mortgage or holidays. It is legitimate for the Cgil does not agree, but I do not understand the attitude of resignation of the ruling groups. “
