Repubblica Futura: sports residences
A series of articles in the Italian press concerning residences given by our government to Italian cyclists are in recent days. The last article, the disturbing one, seemed to us that of the cyclist who declared that he had received the proposal to become a resident, to have all the documentation on the table ready for signature but to have given up on making the request so as not to disappoint the his fans and betray his country of origin. This is all disturbing for a number of reasons. Meanwhile, because no one has denied these on the part of the Government, therefore news means that it is true that there are people who, in agreement with or previous as meaning of the Government, go around Italy to promote residency in San Marino to people who they wouldn’t even think about it, were it not for the diligence of these characters. Indeed, the only one who spoke on the matter was the Secretary of State for Sport, who defended these residences with the sword. Tomb silence on the part of the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, who is not well understood which foreign policy issues he has seriously dealt with since he took office in Palazzo Begni. And that it is so short of arguments as to the bilateral relationship that is most important to us, namely the one with Italy, which has also tried to take the credit for the solution of the “license plate case” (what this government should have resolved in two months , remember?), which recently found a solution only thanks to a ruling by the Court of Justice of the European Union, with respect to which the San Marino government had no role. For the rest, nothing at all. Secondly, because we fear that the “residence for sportsmen” is only the first of a series of residences for Italian citizens inaugurated by the current government; A theme that only a correct naive person with a short memory cannot understand that it will create serious tensions in the bilateral relationship in the short term. Thirdly, because we are not at all certain that these residences are subject to the necessary checks required to comply with the commitments made at an international level: that is, that the people in question actually reside in the Republic, with the use of utilities, the availability of adequate housing for them. income, consumption in the Republic, etc. We would like to suggest to the members of the present realization that they go and re-read something of the recent of this country. And to reflect on how many problems San Marino had to face and solve at the end of the last decade and up to 2013 in order to recover a relationship that had strongly deteriorated precisely because of a way of managing public affairs that creates distortions in the relationship with Italy. Studying a little wouldn’t hurt… but right, we forgot that some members of the current government have always been allergic to study, let alone research and insight. Repubblica Futura intends to highlight its total dissent with respect to this new phase of “happy management” of an important issue, which seriously risks throwing away the sacrifices made for many years by many Sammarinesi to recover a relationship that had greatly frayed. And that had brought the institutions of the country close to us to believe that the San Marino people always included being crafty, to the detriment of Italy, and that it never depends on being changed. We also want to strongly reiterate that not all San Marino citizens think like the members of the current government. Many care about maintaining a constructive relationship with Italy, characterized by loyalty, trust and cooperation. In fact, not in chatter. To this spendthrift and inconclusive government, capable only of making debts that sooner or later the San Marino citizens pay younger (probably those who do not even know if they will have a pension), we ask to stop adventures with which do not bode well.
