The Council of Ministers meeting called for Tuesday 23 May, at 11am, will be largely dedicated to the first urgent measures relating to the serious flooding affecting people in Emilia-Romagna and some areas in the Marche and Tuscany regions. As well as revising the decree by the Civil Protection Department, which had already declared a state of emergency a few days ago, widening the perimeter of the relative area, the agenda of the meeting will also include a decree-law to make initial allocations and to suspend or postpone deadlines for tax and social security payments, legal proceedings and in other areas. After the meeting, President of the Council of Ministers Giorgia Meloni, together with the Ministers responsible for dealing with the emergency in various ways, will meet with the President of the Emilia-Romagna Region, Stefano Bonaccini, who will be accompanied by representatives of local social partners.
