Budget, Siri: “Landini attacks the ‘rich’, but is missing on the banks”

Milan, Nov. 8 (LaPresse) – “Landini is missing on the banks; I haven’t heard him say a word about the initiative the government took, even though he calls a general strike against the budget, against ‘the rich’. Then one should also mention that there are 82 stalled contracts in the public administration that the CGIL did not want to sign. And he hasn’t said anything about the housing plan of over 500 million presented by Salvini. As for the chosen day, it is unfair to many others who have to go to work.” This is stated in an interview with Repubblica by Armando Siri, head of the Lega departments and adviser to Matteo Salvini. A “reflection” on a possible restriction of strikes close to weekends “makes sense, as broad as possible, not just from the Lega.” Too many workers feel disadvantaged. It is necessary to reflect the sentiment of the country. We will listen to understand how to act. Certainly, results are not achieved with strikes like this.” Regarding the remarks on the budget made also to Bankitalia and ISTAN, Siri underlines that “these gatekeepers are all left-wing or were on vacation during left-wing governments.” “Bankitalia is the receptacle of many interests. The CGIL also disappears during left-wing governments and reappears with right-wing ones, like invisible ink,” he adds.
