The ‘Pact for senior citizens’ lays the foundations for a structural reform of policies in support of the elderly and against their marginalisation and loneliness. Parliament’s definitive approval of the draft enabling law is an extremely important result and I wish to thank all political parties, the third sector, the trade unions and the professions of reference that offered their contribution during the parliamentary examination phase, allowing for the initial text to be improved. Senior citizens represent the very heart of society and taking care of them means taking care of us all. This is the commitment we made and we will work quickly to concretely implement this reform, working on the enabling decrees and identifying the necessary resources.
