Rome, 13 Nov. (LaPresse) – “The good news is that the cuts to schools have been scrapped. The government has announced that it will withdraw the planned cuts to the education sector. We have asked that the funds be used as an investment in the education sector.” This was reported by UIL General Secretary Pierpaolo Bombardieri following a meeting with the government at Palazzo Chigi. “On healthcare, we have asked for more investment; Minister Giorgetti said that, partly in light of discussions with the regions, they are considering allocating further resources. We will press this issue,” added Bombardieri, emphasising, however, that with regard to the request on pensions, “there is a deadlock. We insist: there are 800 million available and they must be used now, not in January, by not applying the missed pension revaluation.”
