Health, work, school, rights, development policies: the Democratic Party thus divides the measures into five pillars in the amendments to the budget presented to the press this morning by secretary Elly Schlein. “Our proposal – explains Schlein again from the Berlinguer room in Montecitorio – is based on a different idea of the country’s future and is based on five priorities which concern: the defense of public health from cuts and privatization of the right”; “education and research as the first major lever for people’s social emancipation in the face of cuts not seen since 2008”; “the question of the dignity of work and wages”; “the industrial policies that this country also needs to accompany the ecological and digital conversion”; “social and civil rights together”.
Responding to a question from journalists about Giuseppe Conte’s words regarding the lack of coordination between the oppositions who today presented to the press, in no particular order, their respective amendments to the budget law, Elly Schlein said: “We have worked a lot in these weeks and in recent months so that there was a sign of some amendments made together with other oppositions, because we believe that this makes them more effective, as was also the battle for the minimum wage. We will continue to insist on these issues for convergences”. She then added “I think it is very positive to have presented together, not only amendments on healthcare but also on equal leave, again on the minimum wage, on industrial policies particularly for the automotive sector, on the need for reconstruction of the affected territories”, remarked the secretary of the Democratic Party.
