The Democratic Party insists: “The government should report to the Chamber on the use of Pnrr funds for Emilia-Romagna”

The day after the visit of Giorgia Meloni in Emilia-Romagna devastated by the flood, the Democratic Party is clamoring for the government to use the funds from the National Recovery and Resilience Plan to deal with the emergency. Request that had already been made in recent days by the dem secretary Elly Schlein in the interview with Republic. “Government stop messing around with the Pnrr – they attack the dem group leaders of the House and Senate, Clare Braga And Francesco Boccia – After the words of Dense a parliamentary passage is needed that gives certainties: the Democratic Party proposes that a policy act be voted in the House and Senate that sheds light on the choices that the government intends to make”.

The exponents of the Democratic Party refer to what Minister Raffaele Fitto has argued in recent days, according to which in the Pnrr, although there are 9 and a half billion to be allocated to hydrogeological instability, in reality they would not be usable for the Emilia-Romagna emergency as they would be ready for specific projects. “There is a region submerged by water and a country astonished in the face of destruction and suffering. There is no time to lose – Braga and Boccia reiterate – securing the territory is an absolute priority, all resources must be used time is up: come to Parliament and tell us what you want to do thinking for once of the good of the country and not of propaganda”.

Therefore, he reiterates, “neither the return of funds nor the non-spending of funds is absolutely on the agenda; at the most, some items can be remodulated to others”.
