Cisl Campania urges tax relief for lower- and middle-income residents
The Cisl union in Campania is calling for a cut to the region’s income tax surcharge.
It says the tax weighs heavily on residents, while rising prices and taxes are reducing the purchasing power of workers and pensioners.
The union wants relief focused especially on lower- and middle-income earners, backed by targeted funding.
It says its public campaign has gathered more than 50,000 signatures, with over 47,000 already delivered to Campania President Roberto Fico.
The signatures include support from workers, pensioners, young people and families, according to the union.
Cisl says the request should receive a political response and is urging Fico to open talks.
It wants a commitment to include a tax reduction in the next regional budget.
