The recent passage of the budget law in Parliament has sparked significant debate, particularly regarding its impact on health care and pensions.

Concerns about Health Care and Pensions

The law includes measures aimed at tax cuts for workers and support for families, but there are concerns about cuts to ministries and salary caps for agency managers. Health care professionals are dissatisfied with the allocated resources, with doctors' unions planning a strike due to insufficient funding. The budget also addresses pension increases, but unions criticize the amount as inadequate.

Focus on Work, Wages, Family, and Health

Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni defends the budget, emphasizing its focus on work, wages, family, and health without raising taxes. However, there are questions about the impact on middle-class families.

Measures Affecting Banks and Insurance Companies

The budget also includes measures affecting banks and insurance companies, with a focus on generating revenue.

Cuts to Ministries and Public Services

Significant cuts to ministries and public services are outlined in the budget, raising concerns about education and the efficiency of public services.

As the budget law progresses through the parliamentary process, the government faces a challenging landscape of competing interests and demands.
