Manoeuvre, the Italians' priorities: healthcare at the centre. Then the fight against evasion
Italians' expectations and priorities regarding the manoeuvre, now in the House
Health at the centre of the Budget manoeuvre is the priority of Italians with regard to the measures to be included in the Financial Bill, approved in the Senate and now being considered by the House. This is what emerges from the analysis conducted on a group of sources in Italy through Wosm, the media and social listening system developed by Vidierre.
L’indagine
It is based, in particular, on information taken from '13 social networks, 6 national news agencies, 34 national online newspapers, 24 online news portals, 1,928 regional and local newspapers and portals, 4 public research organisations, 19 national TV stations, 59 local TV stations, 13 national radio stations and 55 national print media'.
At the centre of the survey:health, school, welfare, defence, culture and the fight against tax evasion. The picture that emerges is one of a country that is looking at the next manoeuvre carefully and cautiously, calling for more resources for essential services but also for greater clarity on the coverage and priorities for action.
Sanità
More than one in two Italians expects an increase in the resources allocated to the National Health System, while about a quarter expect only minor adjustments. The share of those who fear direct cuts remains limited, as does that of those who imagine a greater shift towards private healthcare and supplementary insurance.
Education and University
For schools, universities and research, expectations are more nuanced. Slightly more than a quarter of the respondents expect a sharp increase in investment, while almost four out of ten Italians expect smaller increases.
