Rome, 15 Nov. (LaPresse) – “We should ask the government – which has finally realised that the budget needs to be rewritten – what it actually wants to talk about. I’ve heard that a new summit will be needed. Because they’ve angered everyone by cutting funding for healthcare, education and pensions, whilst not allocating a single euro to housing or climate action. A budget disconnected from the country’s needs. Of course the budget needs to be rewritten, and we’ve been saying that from the start. We’re pleased that the government has realised this too. Now we want to see action. Starting with healthcare, where they’ve allocated half the funding requested – not by the PD, but by Minister Schillaci. If they want to dismantle the public health service, they’ll find the opposition standing firm.” This was stated by the secretary of the Democratic Party, Elly Schlein, on the sidelines of the event marking the 40th anniversary of the Greens in Rome.
