For many the Friuli - Venezia Giulia region is nothing but a border, the last piece of land first Italian Austria, Slovenia, Croatia. For others, however, Friuli - Venezia Giulia is the land of prosciutto di San Daniele and knives from Maniago, the land of the Carnian Alps and the Adriatic beaches, the land of Manzano factories and shipyards of Monfalcone, land grappa, and why not, even the earth Coffee in Trieste.
For us, however, the Friuli - Venezia Giulia is the land where we live, the land where we were born, the land we love. From this region are our grandfathers and our fathers here decided to move our parents, our children will grow here. For these reasons, this attachment, we care about the future of our region, we are interested and want to contribute to the debate about the choices that are made.
Our country is going through a phase of rapid changes in all fields, from economics to demographics. Since the 90s our factories and our industries have been a period of crisis and difficulty. A period that has left indelible marks among all small business owners who have embarked on a road and were not able to finish it, of all the big manufacturers have to adapt to the global market and open plants abroad.
The region that dream is a region able to meet the needs of these small entrepreneurs, a region that is fighting for a "tax advantage" can make us competitive with all neighboring countries. In Austria the taxation levied on enterprises is much lower in Croatia and there are many bureaucratic facilities for investors. With the entry of Slovenia in Europe, also, very soon will be allocated to fund grants that can reach the lost up to 50% on investment across the border.
With these realities we will have to contend, in this reality we have to prepare our small and medium enterprises. For these reasons, it is necessary to reduce as soon as possible and as much as possible, the corporate tax of our country. The region that dream will have to deal with bureaucracy. At a time like we are going through, at a time when citizens are increasingly alienated from politics that imposes taxes but not without its privileges, from a policy increasingly distant from the real needs of the people, Friuli - Venezia Giulia the future will facilitate mergers between smaller municipalities trying to make more efficient and halving, so the elective offices and their costs. The regional councilors from 8 to 10 strokes and regional directors will decrease salaries by at least 10% by agreeing to put a cap on their mandates, to prevent the same person held the same position for more than ten years and also to facilitate the generational in politics.
But we want the region is not just of industry and bureaucracy. The region we live in is composed, mostly, from all those people who get up at five, six or seven in the morning to go to work. To them too, especially to them, we hope you think about the future ruling class. Those who can not afford the fees of asylum kindergarten for the children, who is always forced to go to work late because our rail network reaches European standards only for the price of tickets to those who can not get to work by car because they park their car increasingly costly.
The region that dream is a region that focuses on key strategies, but is conscious that it could not afford to move away from its citizens, the real engine of his car for work. The region that we will raise the center of its activities, the average citizen, what we just talked about, which is usually the most loyal in paying taxes, so that a train on time, free parking to go to work, a highway safer and faster, no small thing.
Friuli - Venezia Giulia of tomorrow will think differently to their young. Expand the need for youth representation at the institutional level but will focus more on the practical needs of young people. Arrange meeting point between his companies and his boys to help those looking for a job, will implement family friendly policies to help more specifically young families, seek to facilitate in every way the guys looking for their own autonomy.
The Region that dream will have even more to heart the tourism and culture. She will continue to attractive for its beaches and its mountains, but will invest even more on its cities by organizing major cultural events can attract a wide audience and not just an elite audience. As in Ferrara, as in Brescia, as in Treviso, so too in our beautiful city will reach the exhibitions of Matisse, Van Gogh and all the great painters. And beside all this, Doc Friuli, the feast of St. Daniel, the Barcolana. Everything reminds us of our popular tradition, our roots and our way of being. Without any sense of inferiority to those who believe that philosophy, modern art and multiculturalism should necessarily be higher but with the pride of being a people.
But the Friuli - Venezia Giulia can not just be tradition. Our region must preserve the Friulano and teach our children, but will also look to the future, invest more in the intercultural exchange between students, to encourage and facilitate the study of foreign languages, at all costs, strengthen the role of its universities, to ensure all companies the ability to access high-speed Internet. And think the environment, perhaps covering most of solar panels in public buildings without stopping to face the possibility of having a high-speed railway, highway bigger, a regasification plant to assure it more gas and more efficiency.
The region that we will have a new policy, a new man.
a new course.
