In today’s meeting “I took the opportunity to ask those unions who have called a general strike against the government’s maneuver, and in particular those who call for social revolt against the Government, with tones that have no precedent in history union, why they called the general strike today but didn’t do it when the unemployment rate was double that of today, when the employment rate was six points lower than today.” Thus the Prime Minister, Giorgia Meloni, in video link with the closing event of the centre-right electoral campaign for the regional elections in Emilia-Romagna. Why, asked Meloni, was the strike not called, “when the left-wing governments, instead of asking the banks for a contribution to help pay for the measures in favor of the workers as we did, instead used the money of the citizens and the workers to save the banks. I had no response.”
The data tell us about a solid Italy, which gives investors certainty
“Today the main macroeconomic indicators tell us about a solid Italy that faces difficulties better than other European nations” remarked the Prime Minister. “Since we took office, the spread has dropped by one hundred points, in 2023 the Italian stock exchange was the best in Europe. For the first time we became the fourth exporting nation in the world, overtaking first South Korea and then Japan We have the lowest inflation among the G7 economies and among the lowest in Europe and the last time we issued government bonds on the market with 13 billion euros available, requests for over 200 billion were received. euro. That is, everyone today wants to invest their savings with us, because we are no longer the nation without certainties. Today we are the nation that provides certainties.”
No government has invested so many resources, you don’t need a calculator
“For obvious reasons I won’t take out a calculator. It doesn’t serve to demonstrate how in the history of Italy no Government has ever put as many resources into healthcare as this Government.” This was claimed by the Prime Minister, Giorgia Meloni, in a video link to the closing event of the centre-right electoral campaign for the regional elections in Emilia-Romagna. “It is a fact – he argued – because mathematics, calculator or not, is not an opinion. In 2025 there will be 136.5 billion euros in the health fund and it is the highest figure ever. It is a figure of 10, 5 billion higher than when we took office. It also means a significant increase in per capita spending. In 2019, the last year before Covid, 1,919 euros were spent per citizen, in 2025 2,317 euros will be spent, that’s almost 400 euros more. : the rest is simply talk. And where did we get the money to do all this? Given that we don’t have many resources available, also thanks to the inheritance we have collected, part of it comes from the new relationship we have built between tax authorities and taxpayers? , which has allowed us to have more revenue in the state coffers, another from the containment of ministerial spending and a part comes from banks and insurance companies. It is something that simply no one had ever had the courage to do in the past”.
