The government has slammed an
estimate from pensions and social security agency INPS that its
so-called 'dignity decree' against precarious work will lead to
the loss of 8,000 temp jobs a year until 2028.
Labour Minister Luigi Di Maio said "we can't sack (INPS
President Tito) Boeri now but when his term elapses we'll
remember that he's an INPS president not in line with the ideas
of the government".
Interior Minister Matteo Salvini, the other deputy premier,
told Boeri "if you don't agree, resign".
Economy Minister Giovanni Tria said the INPS estimates were
"without a scientific basis", prompting Boeri to accuse the
government of "economic denial".
House Speaker Roberto Fico, of Di Maio's anti-establishment
5-Star Movement (M5S), said Monday that "if Luigi said there was
a plot I believe him".
