Agreement found on the goverment's Youth Plan

The exectuive presents the final reform but the political forces are in turmoil: towards the end of Moretti experience?

May 5648

ROMULA – After months of intense political debate, the Moretti Government today officially presented the final version of the Youth Plan 5648–5653, which includes the reformulation of the controversial point 4 regarding well-being and work-life balance. The new proposal, the result of intense mediation work also carried out personally by Gian Maria Moretti, seems destined to pass the parliamentary vote without obstacles, thanks to the agreement reached between the main forces of the majority.

The solution adopted provides for a significant part of the welfare measures for young adults to be implemented through public-private partnerships, especially in the sectors of mental health and parenting services. The direct involvement of companies and foundations will allow the activation of services without imposing new structural burdens on public coffers.

In parallel, the Government has introduced a package of tax breaks for companies that promote forms of corporate welfare for employees under 35. The incentives will grow proportionally to the quality and quantity of the measures offered, rewarding the companies that are most active in terms of workplace well-being.

While the Democratic Socialist Party has confirmed its support for the proposal, National Secretary Fabrizio Moccia has defined the compromise as a difficult but necessary choice, underlining that the concessions made in terms of public welfare are the price paid to allow the approval of the entire Youth Plan, a responsible decision.

The allies to the left of the PSD have been much more critical: the New Communists, abandoning all reticence, have harshly attacked the reform, calling it yet another capitalist measure and denouncing a government that, in their opinion, no longer represents, and has in truth represented little, the interests of labor and the working classes. In several youth circles of the PNC, Moretti is now labeled as "the old liberal bureaucrat", already distant from the values of the radical left and now increasingly so.

But it is not only the New Communists that have definitively withdrawn their support for the government. In fact, the Movement of the Greens and the Alliance of Autonomies have also officially announced the end of their support for the government, criticizing the line adopted on environmental and territorial matters.

The Greens have declared that the government's measures on environmental protection provided by the programs carried out have been decoys and have not offered a real green turning point, while the Autonomists have accused the executive of "systematic centralism", denouncing that even the measures aimed at Alaria do not respond to territorial specificities, but seem to have been designed by looking only at the national average. Particularly embittered within the autonomist camp are the Majatran representatives, who complain about the total absence of interventions dedicated to their identity and community claims.

The Moretti Government, which have had a technical and limited mandate from the beginning, has so far rigorously respected its program, nut now, with the withdrawal of some of its supporters and the completion of the main planned reforms, voices are growing even within the PSD calling for an orderly conclusion of the technical experience and a return to the polls. On the other hand, it is quite clear that the withdrawal of support from PNC, MdV and AdA comes now that the Government seems to have completed its task.

"It's time to give the electorate a say again", one hears repeated more and more often in the corridors of the PSD, galvanized by the wave of popular mobilization on the left in recent years that could profoundly reshuffle the political balance.

For its part, the center-right continues to reiterate its choice of responsibility in supporting the executive, claiming the stability guaranteed by its presence in the majority and, in many cases, appearing more satisfied with the work of the Moretti government than the left. In particular, the leaders of the PNL have repeatedly expressed appreciation for the executive's firm neutrality towards the recent social unrest promoted by progressive movements and civil rights associations.

However, there is no shortage of criticism: according to detractors, the center-right has exercised a preponderant influence on the executive's line from the beginning, contributing to making it, according to the more radical fringes of the left, a technical government that is only superficial and in reality closer to liberal and conservative positions.

Furthermore, part of the opposition accuses the right of fearing a return to the polls, hypothesizing a clear electoral setback for them. The leader of the National Liberals, Valeriano Giunio, has repeatedly responded to these rumors, denying on several occasions any fear of the elections, declaring himself absolutely calm and confident that the left's polls are inflated by expectations and self-referential narratives.

According to Giunio, the moderate camp can count on silent but solid support, which also emerged through a surprising popular counter-mobilization that has disoriented several analysts. "The real Istalia" he recently declared, "does not allow itself to be seduced by Metzist utopias and slogans increasingly disconnected from reality".

For the moment, all attention remains focused on the exit polls and upcoming surveys, which could define the tone of the next electoral campaign. Elections that have not yet been officially scheduled, but which everyone now considers imminent.
