Around Italy in 15 days. The recommendations of an Italian businessman

The Italian state is very careful about the administration of the country’s cultural heritage. Recently, several archaeological sites such as Pompeii have been restored and ticket prices for visitors have been reduced, with foreigners enjoying facilities, Italian businessman Piero Leone told IPN in an interview.

Asked to make an itinerary for those who want to visit Italy, Piero Leone said: “The first place is Naples, because it is very similar to Moldova. Then Rome, the eternal city, with tens of thousands of tourist attractions that can be visited: the Colosseum, the Trevi Fountain, Piazza Navona, the Trinità dei Monti, the Foro Italico, the Baths of Caracalla. Then you must go to Tuscany, especially Florence, Pisa, Siena. Also, the coastal islands – Capri, Ischia, Elba. To the north, we have the mountain area, with ski slopes and culinary traditions. You would need 15 days, not less, but with a knowledgeable person as a guide”.

Moldova has no more time to lose, and every day of delay in adopting reforms means young people leaving the country and missed investments. The statement was made by the designated Prime Minister, Vasile Tofan, from the Parliament’s podium before the plenary vote. Vasile Tofan advocated for budgetary discipline, supporting the business environment, rethinking state controls and a salary system based on performance and transparency, reports IPN.

Vasile Tofan stated that the future Government must answer a fundamental question: whether Moldova can become a country where young people choose to stay, to start families and to invest. “The problems are serious, and decisions can no longer be postponed. The action counter is not in years, but in days and hours. Each delay has a real cost”, declared the appointed prime minister.

He further drew attention to the budget deficit of approximately 20 billion lei and the imbalances in the pension system, arguing that the state needs to stimulate economic growth, not just redistribute available resources.

The designated Prime Minister has also promised a change in the way company inspections are conducted. “A business that operates correctly should not be repeatedly inspected just because it is visible and easy to find. In a typical tax dispute, the state should not come with masked men at 6 in the morning over an entrepreneur in front of his children and family. Unfortunately, such things happen”, the designated Prime Minister pointed out.

On the international front, Vasile Tofan reiterated support for a just and lasting peace in Ukraine and stated that accession to the European Union must be supported by strengthening the economy and institutions of the Republic of Moldova.

At the same time, he promised a transparent salary system in the public sector, based on responsibility and performance, stating that he will not tolerate non-transparent bonuses and excessive remuneration. “I share people’s outrage about outrageous salaries and I find the cases that have been in the media abusive. If you want a direct answer: I do not tolerate such cases”, Vasile Tofan mentioned.

The Parliament decides today whether to grant the vote of confidence to the cabinet of ministers and the government program proposed by Vasile Tofan.
