This was stated by Luigi Sbarra, CISL secretary general, speaking at the round table “An international anti-fascist network for work, rights and democracy”. “Obviously we are waiting for the new government to prove the facts, having as always the only yardstick of concrete actions, together with the willingness to measure up to our priorities, with our demands which are the priorities of the country, are Europe’s priorities “, he added

12.20 – Landini: “Dissolve the neo-fascist organizations”
Forza Nuova «has not yet been dissolved. There is an ongoing process. We have great faith in the work that the police and the judiciary are doing.

This was stated by the general secretary of the CGIL, Maurizio Landini, on the sidelines of the round table “An international anti-fascist network for work, rights and democracy” organized by the CGIL at the Corso d’Italia headquarters exactly one year after the attack. “We are reaffirming that the role of the trade unions, of the world of work is to fight the culture of violence and to affirm, instead, the centrality of the person, of work, of social justice. That the real struggle to fight to fight fascism and the return to authoritarian, violent logics is precisely that of changing the development model, the social model that has centered on the market, profit, competition between people ”.

12.15 – Gelmini: “Here is the Action-Italia Viva energy proposal”
“The Action-Living Italy proposal, presented by Carlo Calenda, is clear: while waiting for Europe to do its part, we need a national ceiling on the cost of electricity and gas bills – writes Mariastella Gelmini, senator in a note of Action -. The differential would be covered by public finance with 16 billion euros in 2022 and 24 billion until March 2023, without further deficit. And then on to the Piombino and Ravenna regasification plants, to the Sulmona compression plant and to new storage sites. We cannot allow the rising prices of electricity and gas to shut down businesses, businesses and shops. Effective and immediate interventions are needed. Political forces say how they want to act to protect families and companies in difficulty, the new majority put aside the amazing promises of the electoral campaign. The energy emergency cannot stop Italy ».
9.14 – Calenda, an oncoming tsunami, action must be taken immediately The state must set limits on the price of gas and electricity
«Here everything is missing. At this rate no one will pay the bills and it will be social chaos ». According to Carlo Calenda, interviewed by the Messenger, Italy cannot wait on the gas crisis. «A tsunami is about to hit Italian families and businesses. We need an immediate plan “, says the leader of Action, who relaunches his proposals with a plan worth 40 billion in two years: the coverage” we have indicated. Starting from ten billion delta between planned and real deficit left by Draghi, another ten next year ». They have been sent to Letta and Meloni now – he says – “I am waiting for an answer to what may soon become an emergency of public order. And I hope that Meloni will explain that he wants to neutralize the astonishing 180 billion euro promises of Salvini and Berlusconi ». On Macron’s bill-cutter, Calenda comments: «That’s what we propose. The Italian state sets two limits: gas cannot cost more than 100 Mwh, energy no more than 150 Mwh. It is the minimum ceiling to avoid chaos ». “Hard times for the Europe of nations, which opposes the Commission’s proposals. If everyone wins for themselves, it is the most fragile states that pay the highest price. And Italy is now among them », he concludes.
