“It seems to me that the subject is a bit dramatized. There are good reasons for both yes and no.” Senator for life Liliana Segre, in an interview with Repubblica, gives the No in the constitutional referendum on the cut of parliamentarians scheduled for September 20 and 21. And she explains her reasons: “In the end, I turned towards No, especially in line with my general attitude towards Parliament. I entered the Senate on tiptoe, honored and surprised by the election of President Mattarella who, as I stressed several times, has a deep symbolic value and transcends me. I entered as one enters a temple because Parliament is the highest expression of democracy. So hearing about this institution that is part of my civil religion as if everything reduced to costs and seats, is something that simply does not belong to me. “

Liliana Segre: “Costs and chairs? Parliament is more, that’s why I vote No “

Regarding his support for the Conte government and the executive’s work during the most critical phases of the Covid emergency, Segre adds: “Without a doubt not everything has gone well, there have been delays and errors. But as I said we are facing something unknown and nobody knows exactly how to deal with it, so it is inevitable that both scientists and governments proceed by trial and error. It seems to me that, looking objectively at what has happened around the world, we can say that the Italian government has managed the situation better than others ”.
