And in spite of good intentions, we can bet that during the national assembly of craftspeople, at <strong>EXPO, on Wednesday 20 May<\/strong>, Merletti will save some surprises for the public.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Mr President, you generally don\u2019t make allowances for politics. On Wednesday, Minister Boschi will be at EXPO. Will you make an exception, or not?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re pleased that Ms Boschi is coming. It\u2019s also true that I\u2019ve never been gentle with politicians, but I generally get angry when they talk about things they don\u2019t know and only for propaganda purposes.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>So, would it be better for Ms Boschi not to make any new announcements during the meeting?<br \/>\n<\/strong>\u201cNo one can do miracles, not even Renzi and his government, even though the Prime Minister emphasises everything he does. I think it would be better to set few goals and establish priorities with respect to a series of things that are necessary for businesses and for the country.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>For example?<br \/>\n<\/strong>\u201cThings we\u2019ve been saying for a long time. For example, to reduce the fiscal pressure, to streamline the bureaucracy and to free up payments by the public administration.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Jobs Act is a successfully completed reform. What\u2019s your opinion of it?<br \/>\n<\/strong>\u201cNot bad. It\u2019s true that jobs have increased, and we all hope they remain and are consolidated, but we mustn\u2019t forget that the increase in employment has been registered since 1 January, not since the reform came into force, because there was the tax incentive from the stability law. Today, it\u2019s more convenient for a businessperson to employ because he already knows how much he will pay in the event of a breach of contract. For the first time, an employment reform doesn\u2019t look at the business with prejudice. What I don\u2019t like is that contracts with increasing protections are cannibalising apprenticeships, and this is a contradiction because it cancels the model of work-related learning, which, in other countries, such as Switzerland and Germany, works very well. And then there\u2019s the question of the social security net, which, for 40 years, the crafts world has managed perfectly, thanks to bilateralism, without asking for anything from the State.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>It isn\u2019t a very negative assessment.<br \/>\n<\/strong>\u201cWell, if you want we can talk about the blank fiscal mandate of Parliament and about the inactivity on such a crucial matter. I realise that after a seven-year crisis like the one we\u2019ve been through, it\u2019s not easy. But I think the great mistake in the politics during this period is that of having wanted to step over the intermediary organisations to avoid consultation, instead of listening to them, because they know better than anyone else what is happening in this country and above all they know the people.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Why is it so important to streamline the bureaucracy?<br \/>\n<\/strong>\u201cBecause behind it, there is almost always a bribe.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>In your opinion, will the reduction in taxes lead also to a reduction in tax evasion?<br \/>\n<\/strong>\u201cThe President of the Republic Luigi Einaudi said it would, and I think he was right. I\u2019ll give you some figures to illustrate: between 2005 and 2015, Italy paid \u20ac29 billion more in taxes, than the other European countries. Taxation per capita, including children, is \u20ac476. The local council property tax (ICI) amounted to \u20ac10 billion, but with the council tax (IMU) and the service tax (TASI), there has been a 150% increase. So, we should start cutting public spending seriously.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>A reduction in public spending is counterproductive for politics, because of the popular consensus.<br \/>\n<\/strong>\u201cIn fact, after seven years of crisis, it would be aa comfort for the politicians who are in crisis. In the UK, David Cameron cut primary public spending by 5%, and he won. Schr\u00f6der cut it in 2005, and took a beating. But in Italy, public spending has risen by one point, and when the government in power finds a little treasure, it immediately thinks about how to spend it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>So, what do we need in order to get the economy going again?<br \/>\n<\/strong>\u201cMy father, who wasn\u2019t an economist, always said that the country is fine when the cranes are working, that is, when the construction industry is working, because that\u2019s a sector that can pull everything else along with it. Unfortunately, at the moment, the cranes aren\u2019t working. It\u2019s a simple rule but one that has worked since the unification of Italy; they breached the walls and created an economy.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Interview
