Members of Parliament began debating the bill against social and tax fraud on Tuesday, a bill already passed by the Senate in November. The legislation aims to generate over two billion euros in additional revenue, including 1,5 billion euros earmarked for the social security system. It also introduces new detection tools, stricter penalties, and improved information sharing between government agencies.
The left denounces a two-tiered text
The left-wing opposition criticizes a philosophy that, according to them, targets benefit recipients more than tax fraud by large corporations. Debates in the plenary session are expected to continue until Friday, February 27. This is the last major legislative undertaking before the plenary sessions are suspended for the municipal election campaign.
