“A budget law that is completely unsuitable for the difficult situation the country is in.” Thus, Democratic Party Secretary Elly Schlein commented on the budget draft approved by the Council of Ministers in the morning.
The Democratic leader continues: “This is a maneuver that does not have a strategic vision, does not include measures that will give a boost to the economy and investments, is intended to give some morale boost, but will not ultimately improve the lives of Italians. By not mentioning the wages of the Meloni government, which are among the lowest in Europe, once again “There are 3.5 million poor workers that he ignores.”
Health questions and answers
Schlein then attacked the executive on health spending, a hot topic that has fueled political debate in recent weeks. “On health, which is an issue we particularly want attention on, Giorgia Meloni does not even provide the seven billion needed to avoid reducing spending levels this year, which would mean cuts to services. And don’t think about that.” “We reduce waiting lists without eliminating the recruitment barrier, only by giving additional workload to healthcare personnel who are already at their limits.”
The first response to the Democratic minister came from Council Deputy President and Union leader Matteo Salvini: “In healthcare – speaking in support of Adriano Galliani, leader of the Northern League, during an election march in Brianza – we have a historical record of the money invested in the Republic, three billion “Plus 136 billion in general, three more for salaries, overtime and cutting waiting lists. Schlein wouldn’t be happy even with a thousand million billion, he’s in the opposition, just doing his job and saying no to everything.”
“Start investing in them,” replies Senator Sandra Zampa, leader of the Democratic caucus on the Social Affairs Committee, and then we’ll talk about it. In the meantime, put in what it takes to make this work and you’ll see the Italians pull it off. We will be happy. “What is being done for now is not enough, because we always remain well below 7 percent of GDP.”
Cappellacci (FI): “Pd and Conte’s ‘scissor hands’ rejected”
Cinematographic quotes also stand out in terms of Forza Italia: “The maneuver is of course a reversal after the ‘Scissors’ years of the Democratic Party and Conte,” comments Ugo Cappellacci, head of the Social Affairs and Health Commission of the Italian Chamber of Commerce. MPs. “The plus sign – continues Cappellacci – is the hallmark of this new phase centered on the right to health: there is 136 billion for 2024, that is 20 billion more than pre-Covid allocations. It is worth underlining the 3 billion waiting lists and the tax on overtime and performance bonuses “More to fight with $2.3 billion for the renewal of the industry contract added to his discount. It’s unfortunate that Elly SCHLEIN is once again playing the person who screams loudest with Conte instead of discussing the merits of the proposals”.
