Unity of politics, concreteness of the proposals, the gaze turned to the reforms and the association agreement with the European Union. Lorenzoli, president of the Young Christian Democrats and member of the Great and General Council, called the Council for 2022, asks the Marinese as a priority for a joint and bipartisan effort to overcome the critical issues, especially of an economic nature, which reach the country. The goal, emphasizes Bugli, is to induce “in the conscience that shot and that change of pace that today are more necessary than ever”. “We have fought and are continuing to fight against a pandemic which, however, is destined to leave a considerable impact on our economic fabric – Bugli said -. Think, for example, of the issue of the rise in the cost of dramatic electricity and gas bills, with increases that in some cases will exceed 40 percent, according to the forecasts released in recent days, impacting in a manner on the portfolios of San Marino families. Added to this is the estimated increase in the costs of raw materials: between January 2021 and January 2022 there were even doublings in some sectors, from food and fuel, with serious consequences both for individual consumers and for our own. industries “. “How can we avoid these consequences? – asks the president of the GdC -. The problems are complex and there are no magic formulas. If there is one thing I am convinced of, however, it is that it should come out of the situation that awaits us only through the adoption of a new method of doing politics. I am speaking of an involvement – true – of everyone, putting aside the leaps forward and the positions taken by individuals, personalisms, selfishness. Only in this way and with the assumption of responsibility to carry out the much-mentioned reforms that we have a necessary need. Politics must return to being authoritative, but it cannot do so if it continues to present itself to the eyes of its constituents as a divided body. Especially now, that the European Union looks to our little Republic in the perspective of an Association agreement ”. Bugli then focuses on two central themes: Europe and young people. “This will be a decisive year in many ways. I want a Europe at the service of young people, said the President of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen in a beautiful speech just before Christmas. His is an appeal that we want to make mine and to which I want to reconnect, even here in San Marino. A strategy needs to be developed to strengthen the involvement of young people in European projects. Study plans, exchange programs, training opportunities, new laws and new regulations for the extension of rights and the overcoming of differences, paths for job placement, support for young entrepreneurs who must see the light now, but also an eye to the environment and new technologies, all declined in a European context. We recall that on the negotiating table there is still an Association agreement, to which our country looks with great hope and positivity. It is time to take that path once and for all, to give substance to the project. We therefore take the opportunity of this French semester – but also the recent appointment of the Maltese friend (already a guest in the Republic of the GDC) Roberta Metsola as President of the European Parliament – to finalize the agreement by 2023 “. In conclusion, a strong reference to the theme of concreteness. “Concreteness, clarity, but also the ability to involve and draw citizens, and not to polarize. We must push our country towards a new phase, whether we like it or not, for many the time has come to change, and we must do it with the greatest involvement of all. Our young people are very clear today the importance and value of a concrete policy. Let’s take, for example, the extraordinary work carried out by the Assembly of Young Christian Democrats, who last December closed 2021 by presenting their programmatic thesis: a document that incorporates topical topics, from the green economy to the silver economy, from the sustainability of the public up to the labor market and health, with feasible proposals and points of reflection that could represent the beginning of a new course for San Marino. But at the same time I would like to underline the commitment that the GDCs, always in the name of concreteness, have been able to impress in their relationship with Europe, just think of what has been done to host, in recent months, events at an extra-national and European level. , such as the EDS SKILLS TRAINING and the YEPP COUNCIL MEETING, which have sanctioned the leading role of our young people within Europe ”.
