Rome, 10 Nov. (LaPresse) – “There is no sign of improvement on the horizon; on the contrary, the economic and social situation continues to deteriorate.” This was stated by the CGIL during a hearing at Montecitorio on the Budget Bill before the Budget Committees of the Chamber of Deputies and the Senate. “We are faced with a budget bill that is entirely lacking in transparency,” observes the CGIL, “from its opaque funding arrangements – with massive recourse to tax revenue and PNRR resources to finance numerous one-off measures – to the total absence of any indication as to the allocation of the substantial debt-financed resources resulting from the activation of the safeguard clauses for defence and energy.” “We are faced with a budget bill that is not even remotely capable of tackling the current economic and social emergency and which accelerates Italy’s decline and the impoverishment of the vast majority of citizens, rather than remedying the situation.” So said the CGIL during a hearing on the budget bill at Montecitorio before the Budget Committees of the Chamber of Deputies and the Senate. “The CGIL has called a general strike for 20 November to change it,” the trade union states, “not only in the interests of the people we represent, but of the whole country.”
