The "guilty choices of a policy that has subjected healthcare to companyization" are also evident. The "Letter in the storm" was born on the initiative of some Jesuits of the Pontifical Theological University of Southern Italy in Naples who also point the index against "military spending" which "continued to grow exponentially" while "the national health service was subjected to continuous cuts. "
Now we are asking to stop the social emergency by drawing on these funds. But even the Churches "could renounce the 8 per thousand share of which Italian citizens have not explicitly declared their destination".
