Strike, Napolitano: “aggravations do not do well.” D’Alema … – The Republic

Strike, Napolitano: "aggravations do not do well." D'Alema … – The Republic

Rome – While CGIL, UIL and UGL are in the streets to protest against the Jobs Act and government policies, the policy is uncertain about the consequences of such a harsh contrast between some of the trade unions of the country and the executive chaired by Matteo Renzi. And in the Democratic Party resurface the splits that had accompanied the troubled green light to the reform of the labor market.

Try to soften the tone of the confrontation the President of the Republic Giorgio Napolitano: “The aggravations are not good for the country,” he said today in Turin: “The general strike called for today is undoubtedly a sign of considerable tension between unions and government. ” The Head of State is not wanted to go into the opposition: “I hope – he said – which are discussed both the decisions already taken, such as the Law of reform of the labor market, is to be taken, especially for the revival of ‘ economy and employment in a European context, that it is the way of a peaceful discussion. ” “Naturally, then, the government has its prerogatives and also the Parliament. It has its role to play even the union. And ‘well that there is mutual respect for these prerogatives,” said Napolitano.

Lights on the controversy within the Democratic Party: a part of the minority, in the head Stefano Fassina, chose to take to the streets with the unions. And on the strike intervened ‘former premier Massimo D’Alema , which takes the side of the protesters and called on the government to stop: “The country’s situation is serious and I hope that the government plays this square and taking into account the demand that comes from the workers, “said D’Alema reporters who met him randomly in the municipality of Bari, where the exponent of the Democratic Party has made a surprise visit to the mayor, Antonio Decaro. “The workers – said D’Alema – are in the streets to demand a greater commitment to the work, for the development, and this seems to me to understand.” Former Secretary PDS has passed randomly within the procession of workers in Bari ( Video ), where he was heavily crit icized by some protesters.



In the morning also the leader of Sel Nichi Vendola warned: “It ‘a big mistake to go against the square in a country dirt is the only garrison clean”, while calling for the executive to “fundamentally change the page.” The reasons for the strike are also shared by the secretary of the Northern League Matteo Salvini but distanced “from the infighting within the Democratic Party between CGIL and Renzi.” “In an economic time like this – said Salvini – those lucky enough to have a job working. The dispute as to the fact that government policies are a joke Renzi joins the CGIL, Merkel and the League, so it is acceptable. But are different answers. ” Then Salvini attacks the Head of State, that a few days ago had thundered against “subversive anti-politics”: “Napolitano is partly responsible for everything that has happened in this country and the tran sfer of sovereignty to Europe, so it should have good taste to be silent. ”

The critics do not seem to dent the government’s willingness to move forward on reform. While the applause comes to reforms of Italy from the EU Commissioner for Economic Affairs Pierre Moscovici, from Brussels defends reform Labour Minister Giuliano Poletti : “We listen to the square but we intend to move forward with ‘ implementation of reforms, we can not afford a stroke of the brake, today the EU asks us to be consistent with our commitments. ” At Camusso that the square of Turin attacks the executive and asks to reopen the comparison replied the Deputy Secretary of the Democratic Party Debora Serracchiani, which defined the general strike today is “above all political, legitimate, but absolutely political “and praised the attitude taken by the CISL that” although not sharing the JOSB Act and of the stability law, considered still useful to keep an open dialogue and make proposals. ”

From Turkey, where he is on an official visit, makes its voice heard premier Matteo Renzi , which, while not speak directly of the strike, spoke about the future of Italy and reiterated the need to proceed with reforms to change the country: “We have to love the future of our countries: means having the courage to change, the courage to see things that do not go, do not like the ones that put the dust under the carpet and say ‘okay, so things will change.’ ”

“The things – said the prime minister – change only if we change ourselves. That is for those coming to invest outside, to create jobs, and risks, bets, tries. It also applies to politicians, who must have the courage to make reforms. Especially in Italy, where there is need to change many things, to change the government, to simplify the tax department, to make tougher laws on justice but also to simplify the proceedings.
