“Do not repay all is compatible with the ruling of the consultation.” So government sources have confirmed the statements of undersecretary Enrico Zanetti, who has ruled out any return to the indexation of pensions, after the ruling of the consultation. The same sources add that tomorrow in the Council of Ministers have not yet planned interventions.
Padoan: minimize impact on the accounts, respecting View
“We are thinking of measures that minimize the impact on public finances, especially at this stage, in full respect of the Court ». This is the reply of the Minister of Economy Pier Carlo Padoan on interventions in the study after the ruling of the consultation on pensions. “We are thinking hard both to the institutional aspects and the effects on public finances,” reiterated Minister, who announced a package of measures to solve the problem of bad debts “certainly before the summer.”
Zanetti: unthinkable repay all
Today the Economy Undersecretary Enrico Zanetti has ruled that it is possible to return to all the indexation of pensions. It is “unthinkable return the index-linking of pensions many times higher than the minimum for the taller ones would be immoral and the government has to say that again. It must do so for the lower end, “said the leader of the Civic Choice, who added:” There is no contradiction with what was said by Padoan. The issue of unconstitutionality arises because the blockade has also affected pension amount relatively low, which means that compliance with the judgment can also be done through a reshaping of that block, going to unlock those pensions immediately above three times the minimum, the threshold identified, but also not going to touch pensions much higher. ” Zanetti, in short “the revaluation of pensions will climb with increasing of the check.”
Sources Government: solution by next week
Between the end of this week and the middle of next, the government will find a way to respond to the decision of the Constitutional Court on pensions. The sources said the government explaining that no hypothesis is excluded, every solution is possible. Among the hypotheses, a Decree “suspension”, to be launched by May, to avoid the appeals coming. Another possible solution is the return of the sums owed to pensioners with a mechanism of installment three or five years. Among the various problems to be solved is that of how to return. At a technical level, based on a careful reading of the judgment, it would be doing well to MEF the opportunity to leverage a progressive mechanism for modular indexing pensions by more than 4 times the minimum up or on a device hooked progressive income along the lines predicted for 2014 by a government decree Letta.
EU: Government does not compromise the stability pact
Meanwhile, EU sources, commenting on the judgment of the Constitutional Court on the non-indexation of pensions decided by the Monti government, they know that Brussels’ awaits the decision of the Government on how to implement the ruling of the consultation and assess its impact on the accounts, “but” this should not compromise the Italian commitment to respect the rules of the pact, “because” fiscal sustainability should remain a priority in light of the high pension spending. “
Changes to compensate Def
A warning, have already launched a few days ago (” any change to Def go offset “). The ruling of the consultation and its consequences on the Italian budget, had not yet been formally defined and quantified measures, were not taken into account in the spring economic forecasts presented yesterday by the EU Commission. But the ruling, which he considered to invalidate the choice of the Monti government to abolish the indexation of pensions over € 1,406 gross, could cause a hole in the budget of around 9 billion euro. Behind the stance of the EU Commission it is hiding in the embarrassment, if it is true that in recent years the Commission has always criticized the indexing to inflation. That said, Italy is at risk of breaching the threshold again to a deficit of 3% of GDP.
