VENICE (ITALPRESS) – “Frankly, I have no idea what I will do, every day I am assigned somewhere. The latest one is to the presidency of the Coni….” President of the Veneto Region Luca Zaia thus responded in an interview in the daily newspaper La Ragione to the question about his political future at the fourth event of the literary review “Autori in Costa.” Talking about his book “Fai presto, vai piano” – published by Marsilio and presented in Costa Smeralda – the comparison especially focused on young people, on the generation of digital natives. “Young people, as I emphasize from the title that was my mother’s recommendation, must understand that they must live life to the fullest, seize their opportunities, not surrender to the nostalgic and pessimistic narrative that so many adults reserve for them.” on differentiated autonomy, the challenge of his political life. “I am embittered,” he said, “by the insistence on ‘split Italy,’ because it is a colossal rip-off precisely against the citizens of southern Italy. They are the first victims of mismanagement and misinterpretation of centralism, which moreover betrays the same constitutional principles. Even with the reform wanted by the left of Title V in 2001. You don’t split anything at all, you invite accountability, so that poverty and inefficiency are not shared, but efficiency and wealth.” “Take health care, which is largely regionalized precisely because of Title V: it is argued that Northern regions gain from the”health tourism” of Southern citizens. We take in thousands of our fellow citizens for extremely serious and high-cost surgeries, and we certainly do not make a profit. In Veneto, there is the principle that everyone will be treated regardless of their origin, provenance, to say nothing of ethnicity or anything else.” “On rights,” Zaia continued, “I have recently called for a ‘no fly zone,’ because we cannot go on with this rebuking of each other’s ideologies. Think about the end of life.” On the issue of citizenship, the president of the Veneto Region recoils: “Here again it is all a confrontation for party lines, never anyone who asks themselves-as I ask-what to do about dual citizenship. There are countries like Germany that exclude it, can we at least talk about it? Also to help understand what value we place on Italian citizenship. As for Ius soli, no one applies it anymore except the United States of America and I am personally against it.” On the controversy related to Ius scholae: “Now it’s all a lot of talk about proposals from the left, but taking a closer look at the one that would have the most force and considering the current law, the difference would be in the order of two or three years at most… Rather when a boy born in Italy and after attending our schools arrives at the moment of the granting of citizenship it would be the case not to take four or five years.”
