European and municipal, what is Italia Viva’s challenge for Puglia? “We think we can represent a surprise, because the United States of Europe crosses not only the organized vote in which we can do our part, but also the opinion vote.” The leader of Italia Viva, Matteo Renzi, said this, speaking to journalists in Bari. “I – he added – say: maybe in the political elections you have different ideas, but as far as Europe is concerned, the only possible dream for your children are the United States of Europe. Because if there is no United States of Europe we will become the butlers of the Indians or the Chinese in the next twenty years.” “This – he underlined – is why it is essential for the European Championships to have this match and this challenge”. “On the administrative side – he continued – we will do well, we will elect many city councilors starting from the capital but not only in Bari”. – that the fundamental thing today is to tell the citizens, let’s go and vote.”
“If we don’t go and get 37 billion of the healthcare ESM from Europe, our healthcare will end up in pieces”, he added. “You are also realizing this in Puglia – he highlighted – waiting lists, a long time to get the result of an exam, doctors and nurses in short supply. After Covid, all heroes, all heroes” but “we have seen that salaries they did not increase as much as we would have needed to increase.” “In short – he concluded – if we do not take the ESM money that Meloni and Conte did not want to take, we risk ruining healthcare and above all public healthcare”. Europe again in the words of the leader of Italia Viva: “Personally I believe that without a European army, without a European defense, without European diplomacy, peace will be further away. I hope that at the G7 there will be great results to bring to the conclusions But what is also fundamental for me is that, with the European vote, we move towards the United States of Europe and not towards less Europe. Because when Salvini says less Europe he wants to destroy the future of Puglia and Italy.” “I think – he underlined – that we must all root for the G7 to be a great success for Italy and for the world. There is no division on these issues. This time there is Giorgia Meloni, seven years ago there was Gentiloni, seven years before Berlusconi. When there are international events I always support Italy and I am convinced that Puglia will be able to welcome the greats of the world with the style it has always shown.”
