December 18, 2020 "As of today, families do not know if, when and with whom they will be able to live it. It is incomprehensible that Italians do not know how to behave. Even strict rules, but certain, because it is unimaginable that we are faced at the last moment to the fact of not being able to bring a wish to an elderly, lonely and perhaps even sick parent ".
This was stated by the President of the Senate, Elisabetta Alberti Casellati, during the traditional exchange of greetings for the Christmas holidays with the parliamentary press.
A meeting that offered President Casellati the opportunity to have her say on the issues on the political table in these days
. Errors in the emergency
"Ten months after the start of the pandemic, there are too many delays, uncertainties and inhomogeneities in the health reorganization. These are errors that we cannot afford to repeat in relation to the great challenge that we all expect from the distribution of anti-CoVid vaccines. Other countries are already operational, while Italy still has difficulties with anti-flu vaccines. In many sectors, not only in health care, the uncertainty with which the country moves is what worries citizens most ".
Centrality of Parliament
"We cannot afford to make mistakes. As with the Marshall Plan, the opportunity of the Recovery Fund only happens once in history. To disperse the available resources in a thousand unproductive streams would be an unforgivable mistake that would end up falling on the shoulders of our children and grandchildren. And on this fundamental aspect, Parliament must regain its centrality, guarantee transparency and real participation by citizens in the decision-making process ".
The control room
"I do not think that any control room or any group of experts can replace the necessary decisions of the Parliament".
Vaccines
"We cannot afford to repeat" mistakes "with respect to the great challenge that we all expect from the distribution of anti-Covid vaccines. Other countries are already operational, while Italy still has difficulties with flu vaccines. In many sectors, not only in health, the uncertainty with which the country moves is what worries citizens most ".
Enough cumulative measures
"I am aware that we are going through an exceptional situation, but I hope that we will no longer proceed with legislating as in the Ristori decree-law. government amendments. Not only was the reading difficult, but also the admissibility check of the amendments. "
The official voice of the CTS
"The continuous and pounding opinions of virologists and some experts disseminated by the media, often contradicting each other, have generated serious disorientation and confusion in public opinion on the management of the health emergency. an official voice of the Government, starting from access to the reports of the Technical Scientific Committee ".
Majority and opposition
"The moment is serious and, of course, we need to act quickly. But history and many examples, such as the budget law or international missions, teach us that the centrality of the Chambers is not incompatible with decision-making speed. political will. Which possibly means collaboration between the majority and the opposition. To date, we have not yet seen great results. And it is not a question of finding an extraordinary tool, it is a question of understanding what is concretely meant by collaboration, what is the balance and the point of collapse of a possible agreement ".
No welfare
"An emergency finance based on relief assistance is not the answer that the country expects. It is rather necessary to work on a Project Italy that looks to the future, guaranteeing real prospects for growth and development".
Social discomfort
"Faced with the many closed shutters, families who are unable to make it to the end of the month, the risk of an out-of-control social unrest cannot be underestimated. It is a risk that we can only prevent by avoiding that inequalities worsen furthermore, protecting the weaker sections of the population. Otherwise, organized crime will act as a bank and as an employment agency ".
Farewell to the dead
"Guaranteeing family members the right to a last farewell is an act of civility that cannot be denied, even in an emergency. In my opinion, it is sufficient to apply the same precautions used by medical staff in hospitals."
