EU leaders want vaccination distribution accelerated

By 1012 0

Leaders of the European Union have appealed for the acceleration of the distribution of Covid-19 vaccine.

They have requested for a pro rate population distribution. They have also appealed for an equal distribution of the vaccine among the countries in the union.

They have also advised vaccine companies to respect the commitments they have made in connection with the distribution.

The EU is a very powerful economic union. The ongoing vaccination program is the latest test the union faces.

The virus outbreak has inflicted a serious injury on the continent of Europe. It has directly or indirectly affected lakhs and lakhs of people across the continent.

Italy is one of the worst affected countries in the continent.

There were allegations that in the initial stage of the outbreak the union failed to respond in a timely manner.

The confusion generated in the initial stage even threatened the stability of the union, which helped the western world to sail safely through the turbulent waves of the post-War period.

The issue was even raised in the European Parliament.

The vigil the union shows at this juncture is in a sense an effort to avoid the repetition of the initial faults.

It seems that this time the world leaders are extremely vigilant.

By 911 0

Italian Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte, who leads a collation government, has won a crucial senate vote. When As many as 156 lawmakers have voted in favour of him, nearly 140 have voted against him. It has been a very narrow escape.

Recently, Matteo Renzi walked out of the coalition government, criticising the way the Italian government handled the economic situation of the country.

More than 16 lawmakers have abstained from casting their opinion. Actually, their abstention has played a crucial role in the victory of the block led by the Italian government.

The ruling government needs to work really hard to bring the country back to the track of growth and stability. Given the present situation, the ruling government is almost incapable.
