We of Italia dei Valori did not swallow the obscene “kill-precarious-workers-regulation”. We voted against it and with a loud voice we are asking for it to be withdrawn.

It’s as though we found ourselves in front of a game of football. At a certain point, while they are playing, the referee gives the victory to one of the two sides before the game is over. It is clear that the referee did an incorrect action by selling himself to the highest bidder. That is what happened with the anti-precarious-workers regulation that has the extra factor of the vote of confidence. One has sold himself to the current entrepreneurial lobby, in this case the post office and to do a favour to them, has penalized thousands of workers. It’s the classic example of how you can abuse the institutions by asking for a vote of confidence even for things that are not of general interest, but that just satisfy the appetites of certain lobbies.

We find it to be scandalous that such a regulation has been done, a measure that cancels out the current system under discussion and that condemns the worker to precariousness for life. It’s as though a current powerful person were to rob a bank and someone decides that that action is no longer a crime. A sort of washing of the rules of democracy, that are no longer such.
