“The pandemic is not behind us yet. The virus has mutated and is proving even more contagious. The longer the time of its ample circulation, the more frequent and dangerous its mutations can be. Only thanks to vaccines are we able to contain it. The vaccine does not make us invulnerable but greatly reduces the possibility of contracting the virus, its circulation and its danger. For these reasons, vaccination is a moral and civic duty “. The appeal to get vaccinated is from the President of the Republic Sergio Mattarella in the ceremony of the Fan at the Quirinale, an opportunity to meet with the parliamentary press.
«No society is able to withstand a very high number of infections, even if the effects on many of those affected were not lethal. Without attention and a sense of responsibility we risk a new paralysis of social and economic life; new, widespread closures; further, heavy consequences for families and businesses ”added the head of state.

School in attendance is the priority
Mattarella immediately tackles one of the most topical issues, on which today there is a slowdown in the government: that of the school. “The pandemic has imposed great sacrifices in many areas. Anywhere serious. I emphasize those of the school world. We have recorded cultural and human damage, widespread psychological suffering that requires us to react promptly and with determination. We need to return to an orderly school life and fill the gaps that have formed. The regular course of the next school year must be an absolute priority, ”the head of state underlined.
Reforms, it is forbidden to fail
And Mattarella does not evade the issue of reforms linked to EU Next Generation funds. «The first resources of the Next Generation program are about to arrive from the European Union. The planned interventions and reforms must now become a reality. We cannot fail: it is a test that concerns the whole country, without distinction, “he urges.
Mediation but clear decisions
It is impossible not to read a reference to the cumbersome negotiations in progress on the subject of justice when Mattarella states: «When interventions of such a wide range are put in place, destined to have a profound impact and with lasting effects, it is necessary to practice a great capacity of listening and mediation. But then you have to be able to take clear and effective decisions, respecting the commitments made ».
