RADARPOLITICO ANALYSIS

What is happening

Matteo Salvini announced a voluntary measure that would permit truck and bus drivers to work until age 70, subject to medical monitoring. Economy Minister Giancarlo Giorgetti said high energy costs could reduce GDP growth by 0.2% and discussed railway and port construction projects.

Why it is on the Radar

The proposal could extend the working life of professional drivers while maintaining periodic medical checks, but the source presents it as an announcement rather than an enacted measure.
