Rome (NEV), 25 March 2020 – The Globalization and Environment Commission (GLAM) of the Federation of Protestant Churches in Italy (FCEI) asks to review the priorities and public spending for a restoration of the social character of the State. In a document, the GLAM highlights the critical issues of the health emergency due to the Corona virus pandemic. Problems that partly have roots in the past and that will have effects in the future.
The National Health Service is suffering due to the cut of 37 billion from 2010 to 2019 “to create a market for private health care (where exams are reimbursed up to three times their cost)”.
“We hope that this situation will produce a conversion of priorities in the general conscience and in the composition of public spending able to generate a restoration of the social character of the State as a lever of social justice – declared the GLAM -. It is furthermore urged the issue of a much more serious investment than the Climate Decree (law decree 111/2019), which allocates 450 million in three years in non-structural activities, with respect to the way of producing, because human health (and salvation) is intertwined with that of the planet”.
