Description[?]:
| Samanta Monaldi, PSLI (Libertarian Collective): "Hon. Collegues, I'm here as a representative of the Libertarian Collective of the PSLI which in the last years has substantially increased its weight within a party we think requires a profound ideological revision, a review of its goals, and find the way to face the state's interference within the lives of citizens. For this reason, the Libertarian Collective presents itself as the only and serious alternative to the current triumvirate whose unity is largely compromised. With this manifesto we want to present ourselves as future party leadership and we ask our colleagues, now that the national emergency is now behind, to finally convene the National Congress. Whit this Manifesto we want reaffirm the freedom which deserve our citizens, we want reaffirms the less government interference on the life of people, an "interference" aimed at allowing and not banning! Allowing to do something leaves full freedom to those who do not want to don't do it, without dissatisfaction with anyone, and who say to be dissatisfied is only because he suffers from a serious need to deal with other people's affairs. Furthermore, this bill propose to reform some national policies to align them with the real social and economic situation. For example, the increase in retirement age: our is a Nation developed and modern, where citizens have access to large public services to grant them healthcare, education, subsidies, ecc... and our citizens by now reach high ages. So, we think it is time to reform this matter. And we think also that we should overcome the contrast between public and private by promoting a beneficial cooperation for both! For example, the infrastructure reform: at national and regional level, by organizing open tenders for private companies, we will be able to guarantee work, competition and development for the private sector while the public authorities will therefore be able to provide services and infrastructures for the citizens. A Manifesta for a new century, for a new era! Thank you |
