The braking of Matteo Salvini on the cut in the Rai license fee comes when the president of the Budget commission in the Senate, Nicola Calandrinithe bell rings to start work on the tax decree. It is the provision that acts as a vehicle for the League’s proposal to extend, also in 2025, the reduction of the contribution for public TV, from 90 to 70 euros. “We are working to lower taxes, the Rai license fee is one of these, but it is not our central activity. Lowering the cost of the license fee has always been an objective not of the League but of the centre-right. Forza Italia doesn’t want to lower? I’m sorry, not for the League but for the Italians for whom that tax could have been cut”, the Northern League leader vents to the microphones of “Non stop news” on Rtl 102.5.
Tensions remain high over the Rai license fee. Yesterday was not enough, with the mediation attempts carried out by Palazzo Chigi, to find an agreement on the Northern League amendment which the Azzurri are against. The last summit at Palazzo Madama, yesterday evening, set the vote for this morning awaiting possible mediation between the leaders of the coalition. If the two FI senators in the commission, Dario Damiani and Claudio Lotitowere to vote no or were not to participate in the vote, then the League’s amendment would be rejected.
