Proposal for MPs to cut the salary of PD
Cut the salary. To send a signal in this storm. The Palace now talk about it. A little 'to the growing embarrassment in front of thousands of newly unemployed, families on the streets and the army of cassintegrati. A bit 'for the spectrum of the "fork" out there, which disturbs the sleep of the ladies and punctual at all times of crisis. And this crisis is black. The initiative of a group of deputies and senators Pd. But, tell the secretary, a larger project is the study of leader Dario Franceschini. For now, the letter by tomorrow will receive all national and European parliamentarians signed the first port of Laratta Francis, MP Cosenza. In the same direction you are moving to the Senate and Gianrico Carofiglio Vincenzo Vita. "The moment is serious, we leave the rhetoric and for every 25% of our allowance based on a solidarity fund for the whole of 2009. We will deliver the list of accessions to the chairmen of the House and Senate and then we'll see what to do." The audience called into question is that of the 952 national parliaments, of the 78 European Union (from June will be 72) and 1129 regional councilors. Then maybe involve mayors and presidents of the province. "If everyone on board, with 2,500 € each, amount to almost € 6 million per month. I know that my colleagues will hate me now, but we try." Life is convinced that it can no longer "stand idly by, it's time to act, to do something about it and so there we move to the Senate." Francesco Boccia, an economist and member of the Democratic Party, submitted a bill for revision of annuities and pensions of MPs: "We can not demand sacrifices if we are not the first to do it, otherwise we will lose all credibility."
The idea, it must be said, are giving him these days Some local governments. By the directors of the provincial People's Party that Bolzano decided two weeks ago to cut to € 600 per month allowance (€ 6,300) to donate their money to charities, the mayor of Finale Emilia, Raymond Soragni, which has reduced salary by 50% (from 2,000 to 1,000 €). Little things, sure. The idea now bounces back to Rome, but it is also shared vetoes. "I distrust from symbolic gestures, but the theme of the cost of politics is becoming more important and it is essential to face," said Marco Follini last week that the columns of "Reform" suggested a similar recipe for electoral reimbursements, "If you operate a linear cut all items expenditure - salaries, reimbursements, publishing party - then the proposal would be reasonable to rationalize. "So did Helga Thaler, Senator SVP, strong example of" his "advisors in Trentino Alto Adige:" It is time to give the 'example in Rome, reach out to those in difficulty. "But the center-
suppresses the project in the bud, but do bipartisan solidarity." Our job is to make good laws and to address the crisis in Parliament, do not create funds for those who become unemployed - cuts short the PDL deputy leader in the House, Italo Bocchino -. That said, personally I would be willing to give up to 50% in favor of those in need. But it is not with measures like this that will resolve the problems. "Even so, went from his Senate counterpart, Gaetano Quagliariello," is an image devoid of any size, political or fraternal, which is: only serves to make propaganda. The dimension of solidarity, charity, is strictly private, practicing out of the spotlight. This is not what citizens expect from us. "And the music outside Parliament does not change. Giuseppe Castiglione (PDL) has just left the bench dell'europarlamento for the presidency of the Province of Catania:" The Democratic Party does not go away with proposals like this. I have reduced from 15 to nine councilors, I cut ten executives, saved 1 million in external collaborations. Leaving Strasbourg I gave up 12 000 euro per month, now earns 6,400. Should I cut those as well? "
