LAMMAN DEAD IN LATINA, OWNER OF THE COMPANY ARRESTED< /strong>
Antonello Lovato, the owner of the agricultural company for which Satnam Singh worked, has been arrested. The magistrates signed the order speaking of “inhuman conduct”, devoid of the most basic values of solidarity. According to prosecutors, the Indian laborer “could have been saved”. The investigating judge contests the crime of intentional homicide for the death of the 31-year-old left abandoned with a severed arm after the accident at work which occurred on June 19th. Lovato, the magistrates write, wanted to “hide what happened to prevent the conditions of irregularity and exploitation in which the worker found himself from coming to light”.
ANIA: 6 BILLION DAMAGES FROM CATASTROPHES IN 2023< /h3>
The sum paid by insurance institutions around the world for accidents linked to natural disasters is 100 billion euros. Of these 6 only in Italy. This was announced by the president of Ania, Maria Bianca Farina, during the annual meeting of the national association of insurance companies. However, Italians still protect themselves little from an insurance point of view against natural disasters. Only 6% of the 35.3 million existing housing units have coverage against these events. Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni also brought her greetings to the assembly. “The insurance sector is an ally that families and businesses could not do without – he said – and helps to guarantee the financial stability of policyholders and the economic system as a whole”.
PD PROPOSAL LAW, CONTRIBUTION TO PAY THE BABY SITTER
A contribution of 2,400 euros per year to families with an income of up to 20 thousand euros to be able to pay for a babysitter for 20 hours per month or other services such as summer camps. This is what is foreseen by the Democratic Party’s bill, first signed by Michela Di Biase, presented today in Montecitorio. The group leader Chiara Braga explains that it is a “structural and non-spot measure to support families and women’s work”. The first signatory hopes that the text will have “bipartisan support” and provides for “a click day to access the financing, aimed at a potential audience of 400 thousand children between 3 and 12 years old”.
EUROPEANS. ABODI: “ITALY ABSENT, A MORAL SURRENDER”
“A moral surrender.” Sports Minister Andrea Abodi doesn’t mince words to comment on the Italian national team’s exit from the European Championships. The Azzurri, he says “seemed absent. This – for the minister – must stir up reflections, so that there can be a full stop”. For Abodi we need to “start from self-criticism”, including the absence of new football talents. A speech that the government representative extends beyond the football field: “We need to shorten the distance from young people – he observes – by meeting them and listening to their needs, offering opportunities”.
