Recovery, Sartore: ‘with deep river resources for a more prosperous and equitable country’

“With the fund arrive extraordinary resources for the whole country of very large dimensions equal to over 30 billion euros”, “a river of money” that will impact growth and jobs. All this alongside and as a complement to the NRP with the result of “a more prosperous and fairer country, a country where people will live better”. In an interview with Adnkronos, Undersecretary for the Economy Alessandra Sartore takes stock of the effects of the maxi resources arriving for Italy, including Recovery plan and extra fund. “The country will move towards a new model of development, it will make a transition” with “an effort by the whole country after the great pain caused by the pandemic”, underlines the PD leader. An “inevitable change”, which Italy cannot evade and which, with Mario Draghi as premier, rests on the best possible conditions. “Today – he says – there is the desire to define oneself as the best, and this ‘better’ Italy is represented by the Prime Minister, by his authority”. But Pnrr and Fondone must not be separate experiences, but rather become “paradigm for an efficient and pro-growth use of resources – he observes – this is the moment of an immense financial effort accompanied by an effort of modernity and organization in the field of governance. and recruitment “. Hence the pillar reforms on the government’s agenda: from the public administration to justice to the tax authorities. Not only that, Sartore underlines the importance of the “financial simplifications made at the level of allocation of resources”. In this way, he explains, “the accounting procedures are lightened by making the spending of the regions faster, without exceptions to democracy or to controls for compliance with legality, mind you”. As for the complementary fund, it embraces “the competences of multiple administrations for various materials “, explains Sartore, rattling off the range of sectors involved” from satellite technologies to digital, from the development of earthquake areas to the renewal of fleets, buses, green ships, strengthening regional transport lines, integrated urban projects, houses, services for digital citizenship, education and much more “. Interventions that “encourage recovery, as a direct effect, and therefore also employment, as an indirect effect”, underlines the undersecretary of the Democratic Party. Weaver of the canvas of the negotiations in the committee that paved the way for the go-ahead of the Senate, Sartore emphasizes how the approval without resorting to the vote of confidence is a success that can also be repeated with other major measures in the name of “common objectives for the collective good “. And he adds: “we have followed a common goal, political and institutional confrontation is always the best way and we have tried to achieve this goal”. The Parliament, he continues, “does not ask peregrine questions and the desire to collaborate for the solution has meant that the intervention in the Senate has been welcomed in many points and has been improved”, demonstrating that “if we give ourselves some time in order to listen to each other we succeed in the name of a common goal which is the collective good “.
