The right-wing government is accused of undermining the NHS to benefit private healthcare, leaving millions without adequate care. Critics highlight a projected funding shortfall of 19 billion euros by 2027, urging a shift in priorities from military spending to healthcare resources to uphold citizens' constitutional rights.
Italy's labor market shows signs of slowdown, with September witnessing a drop of 63,000 employed individuals, primarily in permanent positions. The inactivity rate rose by 56,000, while the unemployment rate remained stable at 6.1%. Despite a year-on-year increase in employment, the overall trend indicates economic challenges ahead.
Giorgia Meloni's government marks nearly two years in power, showcasing stability in Italy amid a fragmented opposition. While her administration has seen economic growth and regional electoral successes, critics highlight ongoing issues like emigration and internal conflicts within her coalition. Despite challenges, Meloni remains a dominant figure, with prospects of lasting until the end of the 2027 legislative term.
Protests are escalating over proposed financial cuts affecting health care, local government, and research, with critics demanding a review of the government's figures. Premier Giorgia Meloni defends the measures, while Health Minister Orazio Schillaci points out unspent resources meant to address waiting lists. Labor unions, supported by political factions, warn of severe impacts, including a potential general strike against the cuts.
The recent government maneuver has been criticized for its lack of support for families and the poor, with minimal increases in pensions and healthcare funding. Significant allocations include €200 million for migrant centers and €110 million for tourism, while ACI faces a €50 million levy to the Treasury, raising concerns about the impact on public services. Overall, the approach appears to favor private healthcare and strong economic interests over the needs of the less affluent.
The 2025 Budget Law, presented by Premier Giorgia Meloni, emphasizes priorities such as work, wages, family, and health care without raising taxes, totaling 28.5 billion euros. Key measures include a bonus to boost employee paychecks, a cap on deductions for high earners, and an increase in minimum pensions by 2.2%. Additionally, 1.3 billion euros is allocated for health care, with plans for hiring starting in 2026.
Premier Giorgia Meloni's 2025 Budget Law emphasizes jobs, wages, family, and health care without raising taxes, but faces criticism for insufficient funding in health care and minimal pension increases. The opposition labels the measures a "shameless handout," while unions prepare for strikes over healthcare funding cuts.
The budget law, recently passed and now in Parliament, allocates €30 billion for 2025, focusing on tax cuts for workers and families while imposing cuts on ministries and capping agency salaries. However, the healthcare sector faces criticism for insufficient funding, prompting doctors' unions to call for a strike, while the increase in minimum pensions is deemed inadequate by unions. The government defends its measures, emphasizing a commitment to maintaining fiscal order without raising taxes.
The 2025 budget maneuver allocates 1.3 billion euros for healthcare, which unions deem insufficient, prompting a national strike on November 20. While the plan includes modest increases for medical professionals and families, significant cuts to ministries and a cap on high-income deductions raise concerns about the impact on public services and social welfare.
Maneuver 2025 introduces new tax deduction ceilings for incomes above 75,000 euros, with maximum deductions varying based on household composition. Singles and families without dependents earning over 100,000 euros face the most significant reductions, while the government aims to save over a billion euros annually. Health expenses and certain past mortgage costs remain exempt from these changes.
