Ex-premier Matteo Renzi, the
leader of the recently founded Italia Viva (IV) party, on Friday
relaunched his drive to have the 'quota 100' pension reform
scrapped even though Premier Giuseppe Conte has said it is
staying.
"We'll explain why that measure, which invests 20 billion
euros in three years focusing solely on pensioners, is unjust,"
Renzi said in his enews newsletter as he presented the programme
for his annual Leopolda conference in Florence.
"That money should go to young people, to couples, to
families, to salaries and services.
"We'll vote for an amendment to scrap Quota 100 and give to
families and for salaries.
"We'll see what the others do".
The reform makes it possible for some groups of people to
start claiming a State pension early.
It was passed by Conte's first government, which was based on
an alliance between the 5-Star Movement (M5S) and the League and
collapsed when League leader Matteo Salvini withdrew his support
for it in August.
The M5S is now in government for the 'Conte Two' executive
with IV and Renzi's former group, the centre-left Democratic
Party (PD).
Earlier this week Conte ruled out scrapping the reform and
M5S leader and Foreign Minister Luigi Di Maio, the M5S leader,
is against this too.
