still no news on the legislation to protect and support the family and parenthood
A month ago, the aim was to implement tools to protect the family and parenthood to give a concrete response to needs that have been satisfying them for too long and can no longer be postponed. During the discussion, the USL promptly exposed all the critical issues and requests to intervene in the direction of protecting the most fragile situations; the project that was presented contains, alongside elements of absolute positivity to the current situation, absolutely to be reviewed. On the side of the protection of the family, in fact, positive proposals have been made to improve the current situation while on the side of the protection of disability and support for family members in difficulty, the so-called “parental leaves” are advancing according to family protection, which participate that we do not share. It is not possible to go to quota the leave exclusively in favor of the residents. We believe it is right to recognize it also to support a non-resident family member; there are in fact many non-citizens who come to reside in San Marino and do not have the possibility of using the similar institutes provided for in neighboring Italy. Also in terms of the protection of frontier workers, while understanding how this aspect must necessarily be included in the more general context of a re-discussion of the terms of the Italy-San Marino convention, it was requested that an appropriate step forward be made on parental leave, on false line of what has already been regulated regarding long paid parental leave. We do not deny that we are surprised that, long after the meeting, there have not yet been any responses to the requests for changes to the decree advanced, nor to the timing of its issuance. We therefore ask that this legislation be considered of primary importance, to respond and fully protect the family and disability, and not set aside.
