'Finanziaria per noi' - da Sbilanciamoci!
18.10.2007 Una 'controfinanziaria' da 16,3 miliardi di euro che prevede l'armonizzazione delle rendite e minori uscite grazie alla riduzione dei costi della politica, alla chiusura dei Centri di permanenza temporanea, al riordino delle convenzioni sanitarie, alla soppressione del finanziamento di 30 milioni di euro per la preparazione del vertice del G8 del 2009 alla Maddalena, a riduzioni di stanziamenti previsti per alcune grandi opere come il Mose (170 milioni) e la Tav (185 milioni), all'eliminazione di 732 milioni euro per i contributi alle scuole private, e soprattutto, al taglio di 4 miliardi alla spesa militare e - in cambio - maggiori finanziamenti alla spesa sociale e contro la povertà. Sono i dati salienti della "Finanziaria per noi" presentata ieri alla sala stampa del Senato da Sbilanciamoci!, la campagna di 47 organizzazioni della società civile che da alcuni anni promuove una controfinanziaria per un’economia di giustizia e un nuovo modello di sviluppo fondato sui diritti, l’ambiente, la pace.
