Did HIV left Italy? A question for Italian Ministers

Pubblicato il 04/07/2013Read time: 1 min

Guido Poli, from the University Vita-Salute San Raffaele, Milan, made a plea (link in Italian) on behalf of several supervisors of projects involved in the National Research Programme on HIV/AIDS. Subjects of this call are the Italian Prime Minister, the Minister of Health, the Minister of University and Scientific Research, and the President of the Istituto Superiore di Sanità (ISS), to whom the subscribers ask not to remove HIV and AIDS from Government’s agenda. The elimination of the already modest funds for this research would likely result in the dispersion of a human capital of knowledge and international credibility that our country has built with years of competitiveness in this challenging field of health research.

Such a plea follows the open letter (link in Italian) wrote on June 21st by the Italian League for the Struggle against AIDS (LILA) and the no-profit organization Nadir, worried by the lack of references to HIV and AIDS related issues from the programmatic speech held by the Minister of Health, few days before.

On the upcoming July 12, the European Parliament will decide the fate of one of the most ambitious initiatives in support of European nature, the Nature Restoration Law, a legislative proposal aimed at restoring European natural habitats. Now more than ever, it is crucial to defend this law and push for its approval.

In Italy, the Manifesto for the Nature Restoration Law has been published, an initiative that has so far received the support of over 150 associations, 4,000 scientists, dozens of large companies, and over one million signatures from individual citizens (here is the registration form).

Making the protection of nature and the restoration of habitats a legal obligation: this is the purpose of the new European regulation proposal, the Nature Restoration Law. An ambitious proposal, but crucial for making the European Green Deal something concrete.
