"Out of a sense of responsibility and in order not to exacerbate internal controversies, I take note of the revocation - deputy secretary of the Democratic Party in Verona - and I will continue to work in the Democratic Party, the place where the pluralism of different sensitivities must be guaranteed. An irreplaceable enrichment of the life of the Party ".
This was stated in a note by the dem regional councilor Annamaria Bigon, at the center of the controversy after her abstention in the vote on the end-of-life law (disagreement with the group) that she contributed to scuttling the legislation.
"I continue to have faith in discussion and dialogue - he adds - I claim the right to the coherence of the choice made which was linked to the availability or otherwise, for everyone, of palliative care. A terminally ill patient can and must be taken care of and accompanied to the fulfillment of their existence, leaving he has the free choice of palliative care. Taking care is fundamental and the Region must take responsibility for it."
Among the elements that determined his abstention on the 'end of life', Bigon recalls that the Region's 2023 socio-health report highlights that "only a part of cancer patients are taken care of and the figure decreases drastically, 30%, considering all the patients who would be entitled to it ".
"On a political level - he concludes - I note that the responsibility for what happened in the Council falls not on a single vote of the opposition, but on the majority which saw a vertical fracture within it.
As the Democratic Party we should talk about the 25 votes missed by Zaia, more than my abstention".
