A law cutting 'vitalizi'
parliamentary pensions will be passed before the end of the
parliamentary term next February, Undersecretary for Relations
with Parliament Luciano Pizzetti said Tuesday. "The Senate
Constitutional affairs committee will set the deadline for
amendments today, and the law will go forward". The announcement
came after the anti-establishment 5-Star Movement (M5S), which
has long campaigned for an end to vitalizi, staged a flash mob
in the Senate to protest the failure to schedule debate on the
issue. "They clearly got scared looking at our placards," said
M5S Senator Nicola Morra. Earlier the M5S blog said that "the
postponement of the bill on vitalizi is another 'coup de main'
after the confidence vote on the election-law bill", which has
moved from the House to the Senate.
