The Minister for Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, Antonio Tajanianswered a question on the Minister’s position regarding the conflict between Russia and Ukraine in the light of recent statements by Senator Silvio Berlusconi (Silvestri – M5S).
“Berlusconi is a man of peace, he never defended Putin, his message was: “Let’s think about how peace can also be achieved through a recovery plan”. We must repeat to the Russians that war is not the solution, the line of firmness must not weaken, I will reaffirm this position in the next international commitments, Tajani said while defending the blue leader Berlusconi. “The position of the government and the entire majority – said Tajani – was always clear: we are on the side of Ukraine, NATO, the West. The independence and freedom of Ukraine must be defended, crimes committed must be prosecuted and the conditions for a just peace must be created. Actions and votes count: Fi supported Kiev without hesitation in the last legislative period and also within the EU.”
The Minister for Family, Birth Rate and Equal Opportunities, Eugenia Rockella, answers questions on the payment of the increase in single-parent allowance and flat-rate allowance also to single parents (Molinari – Lega); on initiatives to revitalize international adoption (Bicchielli – NM(NCUI)-M); on the timing of the adoption of the implementing regulations of the so-called Family Law, in particular in relation to measures to support children’s education and initiatives to refinance educational activities and summer camps promoted by the municipalities (Gadda – Aktion-IV-BETREFF); on initiatives to combat violence against women and domestic violence (Polidori – Fi-PPE); on initiatives to combat the declining birth rate, in particular on measures to support families and to strengthen the Network of Services for Children (Foti – FDI).
“Around a year after the introduction of the standard check, a number of critical points need to be eliminated. They concern, for example, cross-border commuters, single parents who are not entitled to one of the increases provided for families with two incomes, the difficulties in interpreting foster children and young people, the safeguard clause. All issues are being monitored by the Observatory, which has already met twice in recent months,” Roccella said.
“According to Cai international adoptions were 742 in 2020; 735 in 2021; 705 in 2022. Despite confirmation of a bearish trend, there is evidence of the ability to “resist” despite the difficult international situation. Italy is still the second largest receiving country in the world for minors and, more importantly, the country that adopts the most minors with special needs,” said Roccella.
“I believe that the family law should be continued in the implementing regulations, but at the same time adapted, recalibrated to the priorities of the new majority. Hence continuity and discontinuity,” declared Roccella. “I confirm the government’s willingness, for the current year and for the years to come – he added – adequate resources for the strengthening of summer camps, territorial socio-educational services and centers with educational and recreational functions, carry out activities in favor of minors, also in collaboration with public and private bodies”
The prevention and protection tools for women (including the electronic bracelet) “need to be strengthened Interference with the already existing rules at the level of the penal code and criminal procedure,” said Roccella.
The Minister of Tourism, Daniela Garnero Santanchéanswers a question on state-owned maritime concessions, also with reference to the relative competence within the sphere of government (Gnassi – PD-IDP).
The question of bathing establishments, the division of responsibilities between several ministries and the layered underlying regulatory framework “has been inherited from this government and is, as you understand, a very complex and articulated issue on which the Executive intends to intervene. As will be done by the Honorable Questioners mentioned that the bill converting Decree No. 198 of 2022 with time extensions, in which some provisions on this subject were included during the consideration in the referring Office, is being discussed by the other parliamentary group, so I will end by stating that after the final approval of the provision by this Housethrough the legal and administrative instruments to be identified, the government will carry out a revision of the discipline also with regard to the division of responsibilities‘ said Tourism Minister Daniela Santanchè in response to a question on state concessions in the maritime sector, also referring to the relative competence within the government structure in the Chamber.
The Minister for Institutional Reform, Maria Elisabetta Alberti Casellatianswers a question on the draft law on differentiated autonomy recently adopted by the Council of Ministers (Borrelli – AVS).
“The government is determined to continue the successful process of differentiated autonomy already started by different Italian regions according to the constitutional provisions and in implementation of the principles of subsidiarity and solidarity in a framework of national cohesion. I am sure that thanks to the parliamentary debate, the draft law will come out stronger in terms of content and unity,” said Casellati, repeating: “As for the role of Parliament, it was the will of the government, in silence of the constitution, the widest participation of the chambers , both in the preliminary phase of the agreement regulations and during approval. Casellati recalled that “a bill has been entrusted to the parliamentary debate, which fulfills a guarantee function for all the actors involved and which aims to limit and limit the discretionary powers of the decentralization phase. The same solution as the elaboration of a general transposition law of Article 116 of the Constitution, although not expressly provided for in the Basic Charter, aims to ensure strict compliance with financial balances and to honor as much as possible the role of Parliament. and politically, the need for a law is a sign of the central role that representative assemblies will play in reorganizing territorial powers in the name of national unity and cohesion. It therefore seems unique and contradictory that the interrogator, while claiming the centrality of Parliament, should ask a government to withdraw the bill c he instead entrusted it to the widest and most democratic parliamentary debate,” he concluded.
