Alessio Mazzucco

addition to the usual slogans and populist excesses, we are facing new scenarios and new policy initiatives in Italy that had not seen for a long time. Maybe too much. Topics touched on: the government, school and university fees. These, at least, on which I would think.
The star dawning of the PDL, Minister Renato Brunetta, has declared war on loafers. Remember? An investigation de L'Espresso accused a minister of the PA absentee in the European Parliament and difficulty in finding a university (despite its vaunted glories, among which the possibility of winning a Nobel nice). Forget the above questions and talk about politics. Brunetta's fight against the inefficiency of the PA has an epic, a kind of fight in the middle between being the champion of the good work and the minister vanagloriosus , good at talking, a little 'less nice to get. Let's be serious: what has gone on to talk about combating absenteeism? One year, maybe more. And the data have disproved some time ago (he himself admitted), showing a contrast in the index of absenteeism. But there are things that I most care about: facilities bureaucratic class action (disappearance between the meanders of a parliament slow and locked), assault on the bastions of power of the PA, ... "Revolution in Progress" is the name of his book, between systems of carrot and stick and maybe some populist ad will start up something. We will see the effects of the new DDL recently approved.

Tax. ICI abolished. Finally, bursts of applause, cheers! Long live what? At best, cheers populism. A recent article in Il Corriere de Sergio Rizzo (in red accounts of municipalities (without ICI) ", November 8) is enlightening: the larger municipalities have been suffocated. Thus says Chiamparino, Mayor of Turin and President of ANCI: "The fact is that ab-BIAM more fiscal autonomy. The ICI is prac-tically disappeared, the additional income tax is frozen. The problem is not the pat-to stability, but the fact that its missing-no resources. ". But abolish the ICI in waves as the Prodi government was planning to do just did not like? Now all applaud, but when the Communists finally cut off funds and initiatives, we will charge the populist Reform melt like snow in the sun. IRAP leave it alone: \u200b\u200bI beg you! At least we can continue to claim the SECOND best health in the world (with flaws and faults, of course, but still democratic and accessible). Maybe, if you really want to pay less tax at all, it is better than evasion with cross-checks, investigations on the accounts of large and medium size businesses, merchants, professionals, their property, etc. .. (As indeed did the Treasury 2006-2008) and less tax shields?
I have a question for the government: you promised the abolition of the provinces, do not talk about it anymore. Another question: Obama seeks to boost the economy given by incentives on the development of clean energy. We what? We will give incentives for clean energy? We will develop new areas for research to find, if not leading, at least in the position of countries so that they begin to grow after the crisis? What has been done to the relationship between environment and growth? It was in the program of the Government, your promise was busy, or not?
will not speak of justice because the discussion is still ongoing. Just one last thing I would say: You may propose and carry less elephants and give a more long-term drift to a country? Maybe less bridges over the Strait of Messina for better rail infrastructure? Less words and more action on fiscal federalism seriously? Maybe less fierce discussions on crucifixes and more political and intellectual debates and arguments on an increasingly global society and heterogeneous? Perhaps less talk about the existing social safety nets and more ideas for new structures of the labor market, relationship with unions and social and economic protection of precarious workers?
