San Marino. Tourism, after the attack by Repubblica Futura, Noi per la Repubblica defends the work of Secretary Pedini Amati
“Alleanza Popolare has returned to using the easy narration of the “notorious nineties” in the illusion of being able to regain the reputation of the past”.
after theattack by Repubblica Futura, comes the answer from Noi per la Repubblica, who adds: “But since the “infamous 1990s” a lot of water has passed under the bridge. You have gone through San Marino, whose legislative, economic and contextual dimension is now completely different. And it has gone through it above all for AP, whose original identity as a moralizing force has been irreparably soiled in the more than twelve uninterrupted years of government. The terrible and wicked compromise signed by AP to survive the 2016 elections produced an unprecedented institutional vulnerability, which in terms of gravity and pervasiveness has far surpassed any old clientelism and any old political profiteering. A long list could be drawn up on the acts of the ora.sm government that have compromised the integrity, independence and unity of the Republic of San Marino, on commingling, on economic defeatism, on culpable concessions. But we are not AP. The policy of hatred, discredit and revenge does not belong to us. We respond to the accusations, be they gallows or folkloric, with facts. And the facts say that this government has managed to keep the country on its feet, despite the pandemic and the economic consequences of the ongoing war conflict. And it did so with excellent results, both in terms of economic growth and employment. We also respond with deeds to the attempts to discredit our Secretary of State Federico Pedini Amati. The arguments on the Christmas lights should belong to a different political culture from that of AP, or rather to the culture of anti-politics, even this now outdated, and they don’t deserve an answer. Tourism, as indicated by the report of the International Monetary Fund (an institution – yes – that once belonged to the political culture of AP) was, together with manufacturing, the economic sector that drove the post-pandemic recovery. In the AP note there is only one point worthy of consideration: the lack of investment. This is a congenital difficulty, not attributable to any particular government, let alone to individual Secretaries of State. As reformist political forces, we intend to guarantee our utmost commitment so that robust development projects complement the efficiency-enhancing reforms of public spending programmes”.
