An amendment proposed by the government to the Fiscal Decree aims to change the system of the 2 per thousand, the share of IRPEF that taxpayers can allocate to political parties. The proposal is to reduce the rate to 0.2 per thousand, but with one major change: the share of taxpayers who do not make an explicit choice would also be automatically allocated to parties. If the amendment passes, political parties could receive more than 40 million euros starting next year, almost double the current funding. However, the Quirinale has let it be known that such a measure would not pass the scrutiny of presidential offices. Parliamentary sources report that the Hill expressed doubts for several reasons. First, the measure is considered mismatched with the content of the tax decree, raising questions about the necessity and urgency that would justify the inclusion of such a major reform in this context. In addition, there would be political and constitutional motivations. A change of this magnitude not only affects public funds, but also risks interfering with citizens' freedom of choice, a cardinal principle of the democratic system. According to the Hill, an overhaul of the party funding system would require a more thorough and transparent legislative process, rather than an amendment to an existing decree.
