Meloni-Schlein response on healthcare. The Prime Minister: “We are the ones who have invested the most”, the Dem leader: “Denied by her own government”

Giorgia Meloni is in Potenza in view of the next regional elections. And she begins like this from the stage: «I want to thank the leaders of the center-right. We are together by choice. Don’t believe the fake news of those who try to create discord among us in order to put the government in difficulty. This government has produced more than all the centre-left governments combined.” Messi “together with scotch” then added the prime minister at the center-right rally in Potenza in support of Vito Bardi in view of the elections in Basilicata.
Healthcare and taxes
And then the distant exchange between the prime minister and PD leader Elli Schlein. The theme? Healthcare funds and taxes. Remote question and answer between Giorgia Meloni and Elly Schlein on healthcare. The Prime Minister, from the stage of the rally, stated: «Don’t give me morals about money for healthcare. PD secretary Schlein said that taxes are nice because you pay for healthcare. We are the government that has put the most money into healthcare in the history of Italy: 134 billion euros in 2024. In relation to GDP, the highest percentage ever 6.88%”. And she added: «We helped families and mothers, especially working ones. This is how true equality is built, I don’t care if they call me president, true equality is not forcing women to give up something, a job to have a child, the two things must go together” underlines the prime minister . The PD leader’s response came shortly afterwards with a note: «Meloni on healthcare funds is denied by his own government: in the budget law it clearly emerges that healthcare spending on GDP is falling to pre-pandemic levels. The data is there for all to see and the Pnrr decree certifies a further cut of 1.2 billion euros to healthcare which also affects the safety of hospitals. And it is not only the Democratic Party that is denouncing it but the regions themselves, even those administered by the right: instead of trying to hide by evoking unlikely fake news, the Prime Minister should have the effects of her disastrous reforms explained by the center-right governors who, through Fedriga’s voice, they speak openly about dismantling the national health system.” «Instead of making propaganda – continues Schlein – Meloni should put more resources and release the hiring cap to prevent the departments from emptying and the waiting lists from continuing to grow. As usual, Meloni throws the ball into the stands and it is no coincidence that she does so a few days before the elections and on the eve of a parliamentary week in which the self-proclaimed patriot will have to silently fulfill the secessionist wishes of Salvini and Calderoli.”
Taxes are not a beautiful thing
Tax chapter. «The left got angry because I said that taxes are not a beautiful thing. No! Taxes are not a beautiful thing. Of course I’m not.” Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni said this from the stage in Potenza at the centre-right rally ahead of Sunday’s regional elections in support of Vito Bardi. «Free donations are a beautiful thing. Taxes are a necessary thing – Meloni said again – necessary for what? It is necessary to provide services. But it means that you have to know how to use that money well because otherwise people won’t understand that it’s right to pay taxes. That’s what we’re trying to do. And here too the results can be seen because friends of the tax evaders told us, you are the amnesties, then it happened that the data on the recovery of the proceeds from the fight against tax evasion came out and it was discovered that in 2023 Italy had the record of tax evasion recovery”.

Left that sympathizes with those who attack officers
«I want to show solidarity to the police for the umpteenth attack suffered a few days ago at the Sapienza University of Rome, on which no one on the left expressed solidarity, probably because they sympathize more with those who attacked them». the Prime Minister then underlined this by inviting the public to give a round of applause to the agents.
