This confrontation must extend to the world of school, university and training. For helping the workers of today and those of tomorrow. Today's manifesto is an excellent example of how to manage this collaboration. You have spoken in a frank, pragmatic, inclusive way. And thus you have traced a shared path, which can also be a model for others sectors ".

We are allocating more than three and a half billion to the hydrogen supply chain, in which we are also investing at European level. We are improving links between universities and business, we argue. innovative start-ups, we promote partnerships between research institutions and companies. We strengthen the system of Higher Technical Institutes and strengthen the skills in technical-scientific subjects of girls and boys ", the premier's words.

This plan binds the allocations to the achievement of precise results with defined deadlines for the next 5 years. In the meantime, to limit increases in the short term and to help the most vulnerable and poorest families in particular, we have allocated 1.2 billion euros in June and over 3 billion in September. We are ready to intervene again and again with particular attention to the weaker groups ".
