“Transition is a social plan to break inequalities.”

The approval of the negotiating mandate for the Nature Restoration Act in the European Parliament was met with applause from the centre-left and silence from the right. “To say we cannot afford ecological transition is a lie” attacks Annalisa Corrado, responsible for ecological transition, climate and green economy in the party secretariat.

Why is a degree important?
A commitment has been agreed upon by the European countries, and it is clear that it will have to be negotiated in the trilateral dialogue. Absolute novelty in terms of ecology because, until now, all directives and laws have been aimed at defending, protecting and preserving ecosystems. Now comes the turn of ecological renewal: proactive policies for normalization, creation of ecological corridors. Ecosystems are under attack, and in some cases so depleted, that it is no longer enough to think only of protecting them.

A slap in the face to production regulations, the association says, FdI is a law born out of green chic.
Their deception is intellectual. The right in general treats the whole Green Deal as if it were a whim of radical elegance. As for the electric car, it was classified as something that no one could afford. In fact, it’s quite the opposite: the ecological transition is a great social plan to reduce inequality. Obviously, it must be managed in this direction, otherwise it will not work. The organic farming sector, which has long been successful and successful in the field of sustainability, is pleased that a new path has begun. Those who use “traditional” systems are more interested. But we are at a time when agriculture is being tested severely by climate change, pathogens, and soil impoverishment which means low fertility. The fish fauna also declined. Transition cannot fall to those who live on fishing and farming, otherwise they would obviously be seen as the enemy.

Is the center-left at risk of losing support?
The effort should be to explain that slowing down the catastrophic consequences of the climate crisis, slowing the decline of the ecosystem means providing action in the medium and long term in a calmer way. We need to find ways for the public to take charge of the transition with the right help, and the right laws that also include environmental taxes. The transition must proceed with a systematic approach. This is why it is a great social plan: it gives new, more sustainable economic prospects and more answers in terms of health for the citizens of the regions. Respiratory diseases affect vulnerable people more, who find it more difficult to access the health system. The elderly, those who live alone are dying from heat waves. The right says the Green Deal is for the rich, and we can’t afford it. Instead we can’t afford to continue to ignore it.

The right claims to defend sector associations.
They actually serve the interests of the big lobbies, not the interests of the workers. They stand up for the privileges that a very small circle has received. In the medium term, they are not concerned with what happens to the most fragile enterprises or small and medium enterprises. They raise the level of aggression towards the ecosystem as well as towards the workers. They apply the same logic of the twentieth century, not entirely successful, which we can no longer afford.

However, MEP de Castro demanded the repeal of Article 9 related to agro-ecosystem reform.
That there are parts that can be negotiated, the problem is that the right has tried to block the path of this law. It is right to find ways to make the process of such an important organization more participatory.

The Popular Party and Renewal split over the vote. There are those who say that the attempt to dismantle the masses of socialists has failed, and there are those who say that Ursula’s majority has come to an end.
The divisions in the middle tell us there is strong tension but the matches are not really played out in light of the upcoming European Championships. There is a battle to be fought meter after meter and the game is more open than it looks. In any case, the Green Deal cannot become the subject of an ideological clash. In the other field, they tried to turn it into an enemy, but it seems to me that they failed.

Meloni’s government opposed it. Does it serve the interest of the country?
We have 50% of European plant biodiversity and 30% of animal biodiversity. A very precious and incomparable heritage. We are also a climate change hotspot: our location in the middle of the Mediterranean exposes us to extreme events. We have a major air quality problem. Restoring biodiversity is a necessary way forward. We have shown many times that we can become a powerhouse from an economic point of view by focusing on the green zone and instead the government says no. We kept Fiat tied to fossil fuels when the whole world was electrified and we stubbornly continue to stay in that groove.
