Existent debate who has kept busy The Italian Parliament this week. Among sessions about a much discussed reform of justice and parliamentary questions about the summer in Italy of Israeli soldiers who need to “free” the stress of operations in Gaza, the deputies also They have found time To discuss a legislative proposal that intends Reintroduce San Francisco’s Daya holiday that was eliminated 48 years ago (1977) in the country.
The chosen date would be the October 4 And motivation is the 800th anniversary of death of the famous umbría friar, animal pattern and founder of the Franciscan order. The initiative has been presented by the centrist party ‘Noi Moderati’ (we moderate) and by the governmental brothers of Italy (the formation of Giorgia Meloni). And a first proposal has already been approved By the Chamber of Deputies (the Italian Congress) and will now take the examination of the Senate, although Few resistances are foreseen by the rest of the matches.
The novelty has even breathed encouragement among the Umbría authorities, but also jealousy Among the lovers of other saints.

Los public officialsespecially forces of order and health personnel, have been more materialistic. Given that work on holidays is paid morethe matter has been received as a Good news. The issue has even been analyzed by Congress experts, according to the minutes. In total, according to its calculations, if the proposal is final 10.6 million euros Public money just to cover the expense of extra hours of police, armed forces, firefighters and toilets, has calculated the newspaper ‘La Stampa’.

For example, in 2008, the year in which there was 31 wars In the world (including two international conflicts: the call Five -day war Between Georgia and Russia and a conflict between Israel and Palestine), three senators of that block requested the reintroduction of the holiday of San José.
“Restore the day of San José As a holiday it means giving greater visibility to parents and recognizing their role within the family.
