Tito Boeri, the president of
pensions and social-security agency INPS, on Tuesday blasted
Italy's trade unions for allegedly flirting with populist
positions.
"Our trade union movement is showing increasing attention to
what is outside the world of work, instead of what is inside and
has plenty of problems too," Boeri said.
"I see winks at those who propose spending even more,
forgetting the budget limits.
"But the trade unions should know that populism has always
led to the destruction of the intermediate bodies, which they
are".
Boeri did not give specifics about what he was referring to,
saying his assertion was based on "some interviews that are
enthusiastic about certain theses".
