“Giorgia Meloni’s government continues to cut the national health service while one in five Italians give up treatment because of the crisis,” she said.

“The state of public health care is forcing more and more Italians not to seek treatment, and the government’s response is to cut funds again.

“[It’s] a very serious and incomprehensible attitude that we will not allow to pass over in silence.

“All people must know that Meloni, while looking for an enemy a day, is dismantling our right to health piece by piece.”
