Meloni: increase in debt of €174 billion caused by the Superbonus, no lessons from the opposition

In the Senate Meloni said that debt grew by about €174 billion due to the Superbonus introduced by the previous government, which will be paid off in 2027; she rejects criticism from the opposition.

The Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni said at the Prime Minister's Question Time that public debt increased by about €174 billion because of the Superbonus measure, and that those costs will be paid off by the end of her term in 2027.

Meloni challenged criticism from the opposition by linking accusations of austerity to the rise in the debt/GDP ratio, arguing that the increase is mainly related to spending for the Superbonus.

Addressing the representative of the Five Star Movement, the prime minister accused previous governments of committing excessive resources with uncontrolled electoral measures, stating that this made it harder to exit a infringement procedure.

In her speech in the Senate the Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni defended the government's line, arguing that responsibilities for past spending choices do not justify the criticism directed at the current executive during the Prime Minister's Question Time.

What position do you feel closer to?

Supporters of the Meloni Government

Meloni is right to remind people that the €174 billion Superbonus hole weighs on the future and today limits the government's choices, which finds itself managing a very heavy legacy left by those who are now in opposition.

Defenders of the Superbonus and the opposition

Meloni uses the €174 billion figure as a political lightning rod, reducing the Superbonus to a “budget hole” and deliberately erasing its effects on GDP, employment and energy renovation.
