The consensus among the members of
Matteo Salvini's League party taking part in the group's federal
council in Rome on Tuesday was that it should stand by election
pledges to introduce a flat tax at 15% for people earning up to
100,000 euros and to make it easier for people to take early
retirement, sources said.
The League is proposing a pension reform that would make it
possible for people to retire early if they have 41 years of
social-security contributions.
The League also wants the incoming centre-right government to
adopt large-scale measures to help people with soaring energy
prices, the sources said.
On Monday Confindustria President Carlo Bonomi said that "we
cannot afford to contemplate a flat tax and early retirement"
arguing it would put too much pressure on the public finances.
