Diliberto: Berlusconi Cuts Pensions And Taxes For The Rich
Agenzia Giornalistica Italia
Rome, Italy
July 8, 2004
"Berlusconi is planning to begin his destruction of the Italian society by cutting pensions. The Prime Minister is seeking to regain consensus by promising tax cuts, but in fact his only true goal is reducing taxes for rich and affluent classes and cutting welfare spending and social services indiscriminately", said PDCI secretary Olivioero Diliberto. He added that "if this trend continues, Italy will become a post-feudalistic country, dominated by age-old privileges. But the opposition shall do all it can to oppose the Prime Minister's plans. Recent elections showed that the Berlusconi era is over, as proven by the crisis within the governing majority. Given the current state of affairs, Mr. Berlusconi should really resign from his office and make room for early elections".
