"What happened in Casteldaccia is a tragedy.

The umpteenth. The first thought is to be close to the families of the five workers who died and their colleague who is in serious condition. A continuous massacre that we can no longer watch helplessly. There is nothing acceptable about what happens: in Suviana, in Brandizzo, in Florence and all over Italy every day. We are a Republic founded on work and the battle for security must become the fundamental priority for all political forces, without distinction." The secretary of the Democratic Party, Elly Schlein, in an interview with Repubblica does not mince words. The emergency is there for all to see, and it is no longer possible, if it ever was, to stop at mourning. More inspectors, more resources, more training and an end to cascading subcontracting "A deeper investment needs to be made in terms of safety at work," says Schlein, "both in terms of training, to make workplaces safer, and in making companies responsible. More resources are needed, of course, there is a need to hire staff to carry out more effective controls. In the province of Palermo it seems that there are four labour inspectors for one million two hundred thousand inhabitants. Throughout Sicily 79 out of a need of 280. But the problem concerns the whole of Italy. When cascading subcontracting takes over, then sub-work becomes less secure. In the NRRP decree, we have obtained that the economic and regulatory treatment of the most representative contracts also applies to the private sector". Allocate 7.5% of GDP to health spending, do it now Schlein also returns to another emergency, the one concerning the right to health. Health "is one of the issues that worries Italians the most. The right to health is too often denied. The Democratic Party has presented a proposal signed by me, which stems from those already approved in various regions, he continues, not only from the center-left but also from the center-right. We are asking for at least 7.5 percent of GDP to be allocated to health, which is the European average." The premiership is not a reform, but a great deception "More than a reform, it is a great deception. Meloni says: but how can you not decide who will lead the government? Too bad that behind it there is a gigantic "I decide for you. The premiership does not exist in any country in the world for a simple reason: such a system of direct election binds the head of government to the head of government and drags the elected parliamentarians with him, undermining the balance of power enshrined in the Constitution. The elected parliament finds itself in the wake of the leader. All this – concludes Schlein – translates into less democracy and fewer protections for citizens. What Meloni and the right have always aimed at is the dismantling of the system of checks and balances." Rai military occupation, no to the Hungarian campaign Finally, the strike of Rai journalists to which Schlein expresses "full solidarity" and to which "the company has addressed with truly arrogant and violent words: the right to strike is a fundamental right. A military occupation of the public service is underway. With episodes of censorship of unwelcome monologues, in an overall framework that puts freedom of the press at risk." "Not even in Orban's Hungary has we seen a state-owned company that thinks of selling the second news agency to a parliamentarian of the majority," he adds, referring to the AGI affair, noting that there are "signs that tell us that the Hungarian campaign of a right wing has started that we will oppose with all our strength. We will continue to build an alternative to this government," Schlein concludes. L'articolo Schlein: "We need new inspectors or we will helplessly witness an endless massacre" comes from the Democratic Party.
