Youth Minister rejects the accusations made by the government of not listening to the voices of protest to the streets of
Flavia Amabile
Giorgia Meloni, Minister of Youth, the President of the Republic laments the gap between the government and young people . E 'right?
First I thank the President of the Republic because it has chosen to put young people at the center of politics. No one can think that being young is a problem that affects individual and the community. E 'must consider not only us but also what we leave behind. It is true, there is a problem between politics and people. It 's a difficult time, and the indifference of the media policy of offering only the deteriorating aspects of the policy does not help. Who does something really hard to get exposure, but whoever insults get pages that do nothing for sure that even more young people away from politics.
In reality, however, disagree on the fact that young people are far away from politics. I deal with this for almost 20 years, I started as a little girl and I am still president of a youth movement. I still see a lot of interest, a great turnout. And basically, if you think about it, forty years ago it was easier. In the economic boom, there were more economic and security guarantees. Today, the insecurity would lead to only worry about their own personal success, but many still choose to volunteer in a political movement showed much courage and desire to participate. I do not believe that there is a disconnect between politics and young people.
Between politics and young people maybe not, but among young people and institutions. That 's what people who actually complains took to the streets to protest against the reform of the university.
No, not even this statement is not true. Ours is a government that has had the courage to face the problems that others had returned. Maybe it does not mean concerns of young people standing rimerrere a system of schools and universities prepare today's students, nor make them competitive and able to find work? We could worry about their jobs to ensure those who work in schools and universities today and instead we preferred to think of many that will have to find a job in the future. It 's a choice that does not bring votes but maybe it can create a future for many. Yet those who protest is not aware of it or of the fact that we are the government which has created social safety nets for the precarious and is building the working groups to discuss with young people in many subjects, from fighting the mafia to the creation of productive activities .
But you're the government that has cut funds for education.
The cuts were and have been restored. The reform distributes resources according to merit. It had been years in the student movement asked for it. Students evaluate teachers, this was one of the requests. Who holds a professorship must demonstrate that work for 1500 hours per year. And then barred entry to universities in the whole pedigree of the lecturers. How do you protest a reform that?
The cuts were there. Also on scholarships figures speak for themselves.
The cuts were 3% in total. We had to find 34 billion for social safety nets for the precarious, a figure equal to almost three financial laws, somewhere had to reduce the resources but the cuts at the university were the most content. Especially if we think that is an area where 90% of the expenditure is for salaries to be paid. And since 1999 the faculty grew by 24%, but the students ol 7%. It was a problem to be addressed, and we did it because we are interested in the future of young
Young people accuse the government of not having been heard. The
CNSU (National Council of University Students) had many meetings to develop the reform. And I always said to be ready to go and talk anywhere, but you know what happens if I go to university? That my presence becomes an issue of public policy.
The President of the Republic, however, has invited you to listen to young people
And I thank him for speaking of young, but this is not the government that cares about young people. Although I am the owner of a minister without portfolio, and despite the crisis, I found 300 million and developed a package of policies which we called "Right to the Future." We will recruit 10 000 young unemployed and precarious workers who are under 35 years and older, offer bank guarantees to 10 000 poor couples under 35 years are unable to access a loan. We have provided a loan of honor for deserving students and inserting 30 000 of 20 000 young people in the world of work. Will fund projects to 40% of young talent. and we also opened 21 points of free advice for young people in universities who want to start a business and do not know how to do it because they are sons of art. We have expanded the categories of temporary social safety nets for the first time in the history of the Republic. We are very confident that this government does not listen to young people?
