A win by Emiliano would be the biggest risk scenario 50 from a financial market perspective, as he wants to build a left-wing alliance and cooperate 40 with the Five Star Movement (M5S).

Currently, the Gentiloni government is still working on drawing up a new electoral law with some form of proportional representation that might reward a M5S 29.5 stable majority to any party or coalition winning 40% of the vote. Although M5S so far has ruled out forming any coalitions with other parties, the traditional centre-right and centre- left alliances currently also fall short of the 40% threshold, leaving a high degree of Centre-right (Forza Italia, 30.4 uncertainty about who will head any future government (see Chart 3).

Come previsto il fedelissimo Graziano Delrio sarà il sottosegretario alla Presidenza del Consiglio.

Ma tutto ancora da vedere e i nomi su cui si sta lavorando adesso e che sembrano essere certi potrebbero essere modificati all’ultimo momento generando una cascata di caselle che cambiano come un tetris. E’ un vero e proprio frullato di nomi, in queste ore, per mettere a punto le squadre dei ministeri e individuare viceministri e sottosegretari. Decisioni su cui – così erano gli accordi – avrebbero deciso i partiti politici. Ma che sembra non sia più così. AGRICOLAE pubblica i nomi su cui sembrerebbe si stia lavorando ma che – a causa di un braccio di ferro tra i partiti e la Presidenza – potrebbe cambiare completamente. Premier Mario Draghi, coadiuvato da Roberto Garofoli sottosegretario di Stato, Antonio Funiciello (lo stesso di Luca Lotti) capo di gabinetto e Carlo Deodato al Dagl. Poi Roberto Chieppa segretario generale, Paola Ansuini portavoce, Luigi Mattiolo consigliere diplomatico e Daria Perrotta capo di gabinetto di Garofoli. Al ministero degli Esteri Luigi Di Maio ministro, tra i possibili sottosegretari figurano Marina Sereni, Pd; Guglielmo Picchi, Lega; Marta Grande, M5S; e Valentino Valentini, Forza Italia.

Due figure di primo piano che si avvicendano a Stefano Bonaccini e Giovanni Toti, governatori di Emilia Romagna e Liguria. A loro va la nostra gratitudine per l’importante lavoro svolto in questi anni di costante crescita del protagonismo dei territori”. Così Giuseppe Carbone, segretario generale della Fials, commenta il cambio al vertice della conferenza Stato-Regioni. “Siamo a disposizione dei neoeletti, come sindacato del comparto sanità, per proseguire l’importante lavoro di concertazione della conferenza – sottolinea – per quanto riguarda le sfide presenti e future, anche per colmare le disuguaglianze: dalla difficile gestione della pandemia di Covid-19 al piano vaccinale, dai rinnovi contrattuali del comparto sanità al Recovery Plan, con tutto quello che comporterà in termini di ricadute sul servizio sanitario nazionale in chiave territoriale, nonché sulla valorizzazione dei professionisti sanitari e degli operatori socio-sanitari”.

It does so through a case study of the law and politics surrounding the destructive outbreak of xylella fastidiosa amidst the olive groves of Italy in 2013. The epidemic prompted interventions by the European Commission and the European Court of Justice to limit the pathogen’s diffusion by applying EU environmental regulations and mandating the eradication of thousands of trees.

E’ evidente la necessità di avvalersi di tutte le infrastrutture e le competenze di alta tecnologia attualmente disponibili sul territorio per contrastare la diffusione del SARS-CoV2 in Italia. In molti altri Paesi (tra i quali Cina, Francia, Austria e Germania) laboratori accademici con elevate competenze sono stati cooptati al fine di fornire apparecchiature e personale per la estensione dei test diagnostici. In Italia esiste una comunità straordinaria di ricercatori che potrebbe contribuire da subito e in maniera molto significativa ed a costo zero all’attuale situazione di emergenza. Analisi matematiche dell’andamento dell’epidemia indicano l’esistenza di una percentuale di soggetti asintomatici o pauci-sintomatici con capacità di trasmettere il contagio superiore all’80% del totale degli infetti. Pertanto, i soggetti non sintomatici o lievemente sintomatici di fatto rappresentano la sorgente principale di disseminazione del virus nella popolazione.

    Al Presidente del Consiglio dei Ministri Giuseppe Conte e p.c. Al Presidente della Conferenza delle Regioni e PA Stefano Bonaccini Egregio Presidente Gli scriventi hanno svolto un comune approfondimento sul programma Next Generation, con particolare riferimento al Piano nazionale di ripresa e Resilienza. Nel dare atto dell’impegno profuso dal Governo italiano in sede UE e dei conseguenti risultati ottenuti in favore di un importante programma d’investimenti da attuarsi con le risorse attribuite al nostro paese, gli scriventi esprimono viva preoccupazione per lo stato del confronto sulla effettiva utilizzazione di dette risorse in ambito nazionale. La bozza di programma circolata nei giorni scorsi prevederebbe una ripartizione delle risorse in ambito nazionale sulla base di un mero criterio demografico fra centro nord e mezzogiorno. Inoltre, la medesima bozza prevede una ripartizione per 6 missioni, in assenza di un preventivo confronto con le Regioni e con evidenti sottostime delle risorse necessarie in settori vitali , in particolare nel Mezzogiorno, quali, ad esempio, la sanità, il turismo, i servizi idrici. È doveroso osservare, per quanto riferito ai criteri di ripartizione territoriale delle risorse , che le prime ipotesi circolate si pongono in evidente contrasto con i criteri utilizzati in sede UE per l’assegnazione delle risorse fra i paesi membri, nonché con i generali principi di coesione sociale perseguiti dal Trattato di funzionamento dell’ UE e dalla nostra Carta costituzionale. Al fine di poterLe rappresentare le ragioni delle preoccupazioni di penalizzazione del Mezzogiorno se non dovessero intervenire adeguati correttivi e di poterLe illustrare le proposte in tema, congiuntamente condivise dagli scriventi, si sollecita un incontro su tali temi ad iniziativa della SS.

Non da ultime, numerose associazioni e reti femminili si sono attivate in difesa dei diritti delle donne e delle loro bambine, dinnanzi alla paventata reintroduzione di norme che ledono i loro diritti fondamentali, chiedendo l’apertura di corridoi umanitari e mettendosi a disposizione per la loro accoglienza. Ed è a questo appello, che proprio a Voi è stato rivolto in queste ore, che le sottoscritte, in qualità di autorità garanti della parità e delle pari opportunità, intendono dare ulteriore vigore, più che mai convinte che tutte le istituzioni debbano fare la loro parte. Se l’intenzione del Governo italiano, che Voi rappresentate, è quella di tracciare una rotta per l’intera Unione Europea, accogliendo i profughi Afghani che arriveranno e bloccando i rimpatri di quelli che sono già sul nostro territorio, nonché aprendo un dialogo costruttivo con tutti i soggetti che possono essere coinvolti in progetti di cooperazione, sviluppo, formazione e istruzione, allora a Voi diciamo che la rete delle Consigliere di Parità c’è e che, forte della sua presenza in tutte le province, è pronta a mettere a disposizione quella competenza e quella conoscenza dei territori, indispensabile per definire e realizzare una strategia di accoglienza concreta.
