Description[?]:
| Alessandro Eugenio di Nacosia-Rohan: "Once, our citizens enjoyed an extensive and well funding Welfare. In this century the Istalian welfare was heavily modified and than reduced. The exigences and needs of yesterday are not the one of today. Today, we are willing an increase of social issues. Today we are living in a rich and prosperous society, but which is not at all fair! Where goes this richness? Where it goes to concentrate? We think that we don't need of a revolution for our economy and social system, but a little more care and attention for everyone, for the collectivy, for who most need. To assure fair and equal opportunity at all and more important a dignitous life as human being, as citizens of our great republic!" |
