Hello, I'm Luca Pieri I'm 57 years all spent in the company of my wheelchairs. I write these lines of support for the complaint of Charles Venturelli, on the effects that the policies of the cuts in social spending have on the daily lives of people with disabilities in the letter published in La Repubblica "on January 6, 2011, both as friend of the author and adviser to AIAS Bologna's Fund. Mr. Ventura writes of looking for volunteers to take him on the roof of an important building of Bologna and maybe ... also throw underneath, an extreme action to bring public attention to the difficulties, plus the cuts made by the City of Bologna and dall'USL.
I am personally worried! As director of the Association
I must reiterate that cutting the "contribution to mobility" (ex taxi vouchers) was unilaterally decided by the company last September in the USL. We're really scraping the bottom of the barrel, as it was once. The same thing goes for the care allowance, these are small numbers (respectively 120 and 460 € per month approx). We are facing the last of a long series of choices that leads from national operations up to the cuts in the budgets of local authorities that will worsen the living conditions of people taking the edges are often very tragic. Unfortunately, we are compelled to note that they hide behind the cuts probably will policies to reduce the welfare policies in particular those in favor to people with disabilities. All that is legitimized by abuses such as false invalids, a phenomenon very negative because of what the real disabilities at risk of losing the few measures in their favor.
