Demos proposes San Marino as a “meeting place for peaceful conflict resolution”
“Rhythm, development and social policies against speculation on emergencies”.
This is what he proposes Demounderlining in a note that “making money on the skin of citizens by speculating on basic needs, from health care to energy, seems to have become the new frontier of liberalism”.
The dramatic press reports of days “project us into the energy emergency that follows the Covid emergency and the conflict in Ukraine in a continuum of emergencies of which ordinary people and economic operators are the main expenses. In times of war, the prices of basic necessities in civil finance are not left to speculation, but Europe, which has become the cradle of the market, this seems to be very difficult and you know when the market can speculate on emergencies it does “.
Therefore, “what we citizens will pay will not only be the price of the war, which by the way none of us wanted, but of the speculative distortions of the ‘free market'”.
The main culprit of this situation “is those who wanted at all costs to open up to the free market in every sector, believing it to be more efficient, to the detriment of redistributive and social policies, when it is known that liberalism is lethal if applied to goods and services of primary necessity, especially in times of crisis “.
And again: “We are facing yet another emergency, a global process that seems to want to follow the thesis of the ‘shock economy’, for which profits are maximized when people are ‘terrified’, while the cost of emergencies is reversed. about ordinary people. Italy has already prepared an emergency plan that provides for austerity, cuts and rationing in homes as well as in the most energy-intensive industries. San Marino, undoubtedly tied hand in glove with Italy, also due to a diplomatic myopia that has increasingly tied us to the choices of our neighbor, will probably do the same thing by tying us inextricably to them “.
“The fact is that for some time apart we have slipped into a dead end that limits our autonomy as a nation, as well as interrupting our millenary neutrality and leading us to be an integrated part of an Atlantic alliance of which we do not we know the salient aspects well but it seems to us that it is also asking us for a lot of burdens in addition to the (few) honors – says Demos -. San Marino cannot live its autonomy completely isolated from the rest of the world, but wanting to maintain its integrity we believe is a must for a state that has existed for over 1700 years ”.
Demos therefore asks the foreign policy of San Marino to “break away from the purely Atlanticist logic and to promote itself to make the Republic a meeting place for the peaceful resolution of conflicts”. Demos also invites all the San Marino ruling class to “draw up a plan for energy and water autonomy that could also be implemented by exploiting the badlands and homes or industrial buildings to increase photovoltaic production and entering as partners in Romagna Acque which is preparing the creation of new reservoirs “.
Finally, Demos asks all citizens to “think about the need to rediscover a capacity for common action as a country, which can return to prosperity, not if it attracts others but if it can it will succeed in attracting intelligence and planning skills: common action be reactivated only if we bear the honors and burdens of belonging to the community, we will promote, to this end, economic initiatives to restore strength and dignity to citizens, inviting them to become an active part in tackling a very complex process of change, such as that that we are experiencing “.
