ROME (ITALPRESS) – With 112 votes in favor, 67 against and one abstention, the Senate renewed confidence in the government by approving Article 1 of the state budget bill for the financial year 2025 and multi-year budget for the three-year period 2025-2027. The House subsequently gave the measure the final green light, with 108 votes in favor, 63 against and one abstention. The maneuver is thus law on second reading, with no changes from the text approved by the House.
“Parliament has approved Budget Law 2025, the third since the government took office. It is a very well-balanced maneuver that supports lower and middle incomes, helps families with children, allocates record resources for health care, reduces the tax burden and lends a hand to those who produce and create employment and welfare.” Thus Consioglio President Giorgia Meloni, commenting on the Senate’s final green light on the maneuver. “We have used the limited resources available to strengthen the main measures introduced in recent years, making some of them structural and with a wider audience, starting with the tax wedge cut. We have continued on the path of supporting the birth rate and women’s work, and we have intervened to support companies that invest and strengthen their solidity and competitiveness,” the premier added. “We are keeping the accounts in order, not giving up implementing the electoral program we presented to the Italians, and we are giving even more momentum to our efforts to combat real evasion and lay the foundations for a new relationship between the state and citizens. Another step forward to build a fairer, stronger and more competitive Italy,” Meloni concluded.
“We have approved a serious maneuver that, without neglecting budget balances, puts the needs of Italian families and businesses first. And which reaffirms attention and commitment to the public sector,” stressed the minister for public administration, Paolo Zangrillo, expressing “great satisfaction” with the final go-ahead for the budget law.
