“I will be able to work in San Marino for Ukrainian refugees”
“I will be able to work for Ukrainian refugees.” The Secretary for Foreign Affairs, Luca Beccari, announced the new outlines of the government road map during yesterday’s press conference. Refugees on the Titan will be allowed to carry out a work activity, according to the new Decree adopted on Monday. Meanwhile, the Titan opens up to a new internal market for government bonds of 50 thousand euros, while tourism drops the ace of the wedding sector seasoned in San Marino sauce with the holiday voucher.
The job application
For the team, the rules on temporary work in the tourism and hotel sector were applied, as well as the flow decree for frontier workers to find. “We have tried to contemplate new needs – explains Beccari – highlighting, however, that the Ukrainians who were present in the territory before the conflict will also be protected”. If they lose their jobs they will not be forced to repatriate but, he explains, he will remain “with a special residence permit”. And he anticipates that in the new document the rules for access to home care will be changed and the points on fixed-term work that concern sectors in search of labor, such as manufacturing will be, will be specified.
Qualifications
A confrontation has already taken place with the Ukrainian ambassador to create “a direct channel to certify the validity of the qualifications of refugees”. As for the arithmetic of solidarity, it is specified that “fewer than 300 people are welcomed, because someone has decided to move to the neighboring regions”. In any case, “the reception work developed by the San Marino circuit with a standard among the best in Europe, welcoming the equivalent of 1% of the population,” remains formidable. An effort loudly recognized, he rejoices, “by the many ambassadors present on 1 April at the inauguration of the new Regents”.
The change in the balance sheet
Turning the page, he puts the draft budget changes in the first reading in the spotlight. A “technical adjustment that – explains Beccari – will not contain any upheavals on the setting of the budget”, even if it requires “changes for the management of the Ukrainian emergency and the changing needs of the moment”.
Interior Lego
The recent visit by the Monetary Fund was the prelude to a project that will soon consolidate public finance. Translated. At the start of the internal bond, “the equivalent of a Bot with a duration of one year, at a lower interest rate than the issue already carried out on the markets”, he points out, noting that there will not be a major cut, only 50 million euros to be used for investments in infrastructures or in the recovery of various types of properties. “Above all – he replies – it will be an opportunity to set up a small internal market for government bonds with the development of a secondary trading system” which with renewed confidence will bring back capital here that has gone abroad. A method to at least partially offset the issue of foreign debt.
Tourism
Tourism Secretary Federico Pedini Amati emphasizes good expectations for the upcoming Easter “with last minute bookings on the rise”. In the meantime, from 1 May vacation vouchers will start again with three nights at the price of one, a formula that in 2021, it notes, brought “a plus of over 10 thousand presences, going from 1.8 to 2.1%”. This year, continues Pedini, it will target tourists from the Middle East. Among the novelties around the corner is the departure of the wedding sector for which “only the signatures of the Regents” are missing. Cherry on the cake? In a few days it will be known, he concludes, who won the tender as director of the tourism office.
