"It is a new challenge. A first step that we look carefully and we will follow carefully in the implementing decrees". Antonio Affinita, General Director of the Moige - Italian Parents Movement, told the Adnkronos, commenting on the delegation bill that commits the government to carry out reforms and strengthen existing ones in favor of the family. Farewell to parents for talks with teachers: "our request has been accepted but the measure must also be extended to parents who represent classes on school boards. We therefore hope that there will be integration in the implementation. On the other front it will be It is also necessary - adds the general director of Moige - to insist that the parent be given the opportunity to choose to take care of their child as an alternative to the nursery and to enjoy the same financial support given to those who prefer it ". As for the period of at least 10 days of paternity leave, mandatory in the first months of birth of the daughter or son, "we will insist on the freedom of choice as to when to use it". The allowance will take into account the number of children: "It is a fundamental step because the ability to pay taxes for those who have children is different from those who do not have them". "It is since 1975 - explains Affinita - that the Constitutional Court has reported the discriminatory taxation suffered by families: taxes must be calculated not on the basis of your remuneration capacity but contribution". The Family Act could contribute "to block the injustices of children stolen from mothers because parents have no economic capacity". The 'reorganization of economic support measures for dependent children' "is very positive. Spot initiatives were so diluted and not organic that in the end they were something that did not benefit families". Finally, on rewarding measures for employers who implement policies designed to promote full harmonization between private life and work, such as, for example, flexible work and telework, Affinita concludes: "Smart working is the only good legacy of Covid" .
