The Italian Government has presented a bill in Parliament that includes 14.3 billion euros in aid for workers, companies and families with the aim of softening the economic crisis unleashed by rising prices.

“I confirm the Government’s will not to abandon workers, retirees and companies,” Prime Minister Mario Draghi said during a meeting at the Chigi Palace with labor unions, according to the newspaper Corriere della Sera.

The Council of Ministers approved this Tuesday the report presented by Draghi and the Minister of Economy, Daniele Franco, to ask Parliament for “authorization to resort to debt for a total amount of 14,300 million euros in 2022“.

On the other hand, the founder of the 5 Star Movement (M5S), the comedian Beppe Grillo, would have threatened the party’s leader, Giuseppe Conte, with leaving the formation if the two-term limit is repealed in the face of the early elections that will take place on September 25 after the resignation of Draghi as head of the Executive.

The vote will be the first held in the autumn in the country’s history, and Draghi will remain as caretaker prime minister until a new government takes office.
