One hundred million euros that could, and should, have been spent. Instead they remained in the cash register. This is the "treasure" of the regional Labor department that the new political director of the offices, Desirè Manca of the 5 Star Movement, announces he has discovered "thanks to a scrupulous activity of reconnaissance of resources".
The councilor explains: «These are regional funds that were not spent, not planned and not implemented during the last legislature. This is the disastrous situation I found when I took office. I do not intend to interrupt my dialogue with the Sardinian population regarding the activity that I carry out on a daily basis, I believe it is right and necessary to communicate these data".
«The resources», specifies Manca , «are regional funds distributed in different chapters and spending programs to which is added a not insignificant part, amounting to around 10 million euros, of resources attributable to the so-called free surplus of Aspal, i.e. the resources that could have been reprogrammed at the close of the budget". But it didn't happen.
The count is inexorable: «In 2023, as many as 20 million euros remained in the regional coffers», points out the representative of the Todde Council, «destined for the implementation of a program of active labor policies aimed at the unemployed, even for long-term, disadvantaged and inactive people, aimed at their reintegration into the job market".
The commitment «will be to ensure that these funds can be used immediately. It is unacceptable for Sardinian workers to be deprived of resources intended for them due to a lack of political will and planning."
