(Finance) – The President of the Council of Ministers, Georgie Melonsdeclared that “the challenge demographicthe economic sustainability to which it is connected, represents one of the main challenges: there is no point in managing the present if the future is not secured”. Speaking at the conference “For a young Europe. Demographic transition, environment, future” in the Hall of the Temple of Vibia Sabina and Hadrian, in Rome, Meloni added that “the government has the responsibility to guarantee a future for its nation. I consider the approach with which this government addresses these issues to be a fundamental change of pace compared to the past.”
“No concrete intervention will ever be sufficient if we do not reverse the situation storytelling that has been done for years: it has been said for decades that bringing into the world a child it would have compromised freedom, dreams, career, in some cases beauty, which therefore was a choice that ultimately was not convenient”, he continued.
“We have made our choice, the result of a vision”, reiterated the Prime Minister, “we have decided to collect the challenge demographic, we put it at the center. Despite the now well-known budget difficulties inherited from cheerful managements that preceded us “they were put in place”2.5 billion in direct investmentswith benefits for Italian families of 16 billion euros, says theParliamentary Budget Office, who is always quite rigid in judging the measures. Public spending aimed at supporting the birth rate is the one that, more than any other, should be considered a productive investment, because it is an investment in the stability of our social system and our civilization”.
“It’s good spending, with a multiplier very high, it cannot be considered like other expenses in our budgets. It will be increasingly difficult to guarantee operation for a four-year period if we do not take care of that next generation which was the basis of the post-pandemic programs,” he added.
Meloni then asked theEuropean Union to do his part. “The Old Continent needs to give serious, concrete, determined answers” on the birth rate, declared the Prime Minister, “for us it is a hope but also a commitment to work on these things: it also concerns thebudget balance which we have been discussing for a long time and which Europe looks at with great attention. Among the implications of the birth rate decline there are enormous ones on the social spending front. If we do not restore the balance between the working population and those in need of assistance, our public finance systems will become unsustainable”
“I continue to believe the uterus for rent an inhumane practice, I support the bill to make it a universal crime. I hope it will be approved as soon as possible”, declared Meloni in a passage of his speech
