Sicily, the poorest region of Europe, at Ars there is the law of contrast

CATANIA – “Sicily and Campania are the poorest regions of all in Europe so it was essential that we take initiatives and a person who helped us the most to take initiatives was the president of the Sant’Egidio Community in Sicily Emiliano Abramo ». This was stated in Catania on the law to combat poverty, while waiting to go to the Chamber, the president of the Sicilian Regional Assembly, Gianfranco Miccichè, speaking to journalists on the sidelines of his visit to the Community of Sant’Egidio.

“We have now completed the process in the Health Commission of this new law to combat poverty – added the president of Ars – I think it is a good law. We have also identified a very fast process so that it can be approved in time and it will be. The law is practically ready ».

«Eurostat has revealed to us that Sicily together with Campania is the poorest region in Europe – said the president of the Sant’Egidio Community in Sicily Emiliano Abramo – and I believe that the need of the poor must knock on the doors of the buildings. We found in Ars, and therefore in its president, an attentive ear and thus the idea of ​​creating a bill to combat poverty was born in a very short time. The law will very quickly produce effects for the poorest of Sicily by passing through the charitable associations ».
