No, not it’s a war bulletin. They are fathers and Apulian children who in the latter two months have lost life while they worked. They died to bring bread at home or because they had succeeded to realize the dream of a stable job. I am died in the factory, in factories, in construction sites, even On the road. And there is no distinction among adults or small companies. The official data INAIL indicate than in Puglia, from January in March, there were fifteen accident reports with fatal outcome, to which we need add the latest tragedies which I mentioned earlier.” This is how the Council’s work begins, illustrated by President Loredana Capone. «In Italy in the first three months of the year 191 died Between workers and workers. Alone Yesterday five workers in the province of Palermo. Died while they worked in the sewerage network.

THE FIRST TO SPEAK: FAN
“In the top ten minutes of his speech of today There is the real reason why we are proposing the motion of no confidence. She dedicated the first ten minutes to tell us, to illustrate those which are the acts officers placed in be from the President Emiliano in the last month: change of councilors, councilors who have been revoked, councillors who resigned. To the new councillors let’s do ours best wishes, there would be missed. This is one of the main reasons for which we realised which, objectively, there there are more conditions of serenity administrative in head to the President, to fulfill their own obligations”. Thus Francesco Ventola in his speech.
«The last Council regional was held on the 26th March. They have passed almost two months. We no longer have held regional councils For approve or disapprove laws, which is the real reason for which we were elected. The 19 April we have learned from news of printing that was in I’m about to do yet another one postponement of the Council regional, in this case of the 23rd April, date in which we should have discussed of laws important, many of which also shared in Commission. We learned from press reports that would have been postponed, I dare say “for for the umpteenth time.” We wrote to her immediately: “Very kind President, we learned from press reports that it is his intention and President Emiliano, contrary to what was agreed upon Conference of Presidents of the Groups councilors, not to convene the Council regional for April 23rd”. They hoped whatever it was a fake news and we urged her to honor commitments who had been hired in the Group Leaders’ Conference. The same day, in the afternoon, he was coming announced a Conference of the group leaders, in video conference, to which we had predicted not to participate. Immediately After, the convocation of the Council regional for on May 7.
This was the drop which caused it to overflow The vase. Self an Assembly legislative, for problems that pertain to the activity administrative, policies ‒ and I underline “policies” ‒ administrative activity of the President Emiliano stays in plaster, from the two each: or we find the conditions so that Truly there is a norm that protects us from this point of view… Objectively, we take of the allowances, but if we don’t exercise them, by not coming to the Councils, there is some problems, evidently. We were elected. We have to do our job. Our work and do laws. Self we are not put in the conditions to do so do, some problem can be born”.
