A new call to politics and the whole of society has just arrived from Mattarella.
On the occasion of the CNA Assembly, the head of state wanted to send a clear message to the country’s institutions and to the civil and economic parties: theCoronavirus emergency it is on several fronts and must be fought in a spirit of sharing.
Timing is crucial for himItaly: New restrictive measures are expected, while positive cases increase and hospitals risk collapsing.
the Republic President That is why he left an important reflection: the nation cannot be saved if it does not take care of the great inequalities.
Society Suffers, Poverty Increases, and Gaps Between Citizens Can Trigger Future and Serious Consequences – Mattarella’s Warning Words
Fighting inequalities: the appeal of Mattarella
Not only a health emergency: the particular and delicate situation of the world and, of course, of Italy questions politicians and social leaders in various reflections.
Taking action to halt the dire progression of the pandemic also means caring for those who are lagging behind in society, affected by job losses, reduced income and family difficulties. At risk is heritage and social justice.
This is how Mattarella’s speech at the CNA Assembly can be summarized. These are the words of the President of the Republic:
“A period of extraordinary difficulty that must be faced with the necessary support from Public Administrations: shared policies are needed -with the contribution of social agents and territories- for a strategy that, while facing the pandemic and the consequent difficulties, has as its objective closing gaps and reducing inequalities increasingly unacceptable and burdensome “
Sharing and foresight, therefore, in the reflection of Mattarella. Two lights are needed to define the government intervention strategy. The risk, too serious, is “That in inequalities between existing territories in our country, those derived from effects of the pandemic“.
The suggestion of Head of state It is equally clear: the policies, the reforms, the projects of the near future and the investments that will also be possible with the resources of the Recovery Fund, should be used to give “opportunity those who today have less and intervene in environmental imbalances and territorial inequalities “
Because poverty is a real alarm
Epidemic, economic crisis, poverty, social imbalance: a chain of difficult interruption that is being activated throughout the world that is fighting against the pandemic.
It is no coincidence that the President of the Republic has put inequality at the center of his message. In Italy the balance is already sad: I poor have also increased among the self-employed, small business owners and families so far able to survive.
Small businesses are shaking and merchants are in danger of closing. Workers are now more vulnerable and social assistance tools are often not enough.
Not only that, inequality also runs the risk of affecting internet access, fundamental in these periods of closure also for education, and the possibility of adequate treatment.
To avoid inequalities with true foresight and political wisdom the true challenge of Italy and the world will be in the hands of COVID.
