Fdi: «Professionals are the country's strategic resource»

«We are here because we want to thank you for the great work you do every day, you are one of the fundamental pillars on which we are building the company». This was said by Arianna Meloni, head of the political secretariat of Fdi, on the occasion of the Lazio stage of "The Italy of professions, the reforms of the Meloni government and the commitment of Fratelli d'Italia", the national campaign promoted by the national Professions Department of Fratelli d'Italia and by the Lazio regional coordination of Fdi. The Meloni government has launched a package of reforms that affects every sector of the professions: legal, healthcare, economic and technical.

«The Italy of professions is a campaign that comes from very far away, from when we were in opposition with input from Minister Lollobrigida - added Marta Schifone, national manager of the Fdi Professions Department -. We met thousands of professionals and they all brought their requests, their "fears" and above all a lot of vision. We have kept our promises and today they are the laws of Italy: fair compensation, scholarships for postgraduates, valorisation of STEM subjects and many other rules. The Meloni government has put in place an organic and highly participatory package of reforms, starting from the bottom, because we have continued our dialogue with the professional associations."

«I believe that today is a unique opportunity to bring together all the professions - said the Minister of Labor, Marina Calderone -. If Giorgia Meloni wanted the president of the labor consultants to become Minister of Labor it is a sign of respect for all professionals. I believe - explained the owner of Labor - that a reform must absolutely be the result of a dialogue with professionals. The message is to have it clear in mind that professionals are a founding value that makes the difference. I have always said clearly that when we talk about work we are talking about work in 360 degrees, from employee to independent work. Italian professionals are everywhere and as such they also have the possibility of carrying out services that the public requests and needs."

«The bill on the reform of professions has the ability to summarize but the government could not do anything if it did not have FdI - underlined Maria Teresa Bellucci, deputy minister of Labor -. For us, Italy is one of merit and not of welfare. It is study, professionalism and competence that makes the difference, a different way of thinking about subsidies. We want to revolutionize welfare."

Marcello Gemmato, Undersecretary of State for Health, reviewed the news of the reform of the health professions: «Today the national health fund - he recalled - is equal to 146 billion euros, but today there is still a need to finance the Fund. We need to update our national healthcare system, enhancing and strengthening the army of professionals."
