Italy approves 24 billion-euro budget aiming to boost household spending and births_我的网站

A |     Italy’s far-right-led government on Monday approved a budget for next year that aims to bolster public health services, encourage families to have more children and put more money in the pockets of low- and medium-wage earners.Premier Giorgia Meloni said the 24 billion-euro ($25 billion) budget, which includes 5 billion in spending cuts, is in line with the government’s priorities. She described it as both “serious” and “realistic," even as Italy faces an expected increase of 13 billion euros in payments to service its public debt as interest rates increase.The budget was approved by Meloni's cabinet in a one-hour meeting before being sent for EU approval. Italian Finance Minister Giancarlo Giorgetti expressed confidence that the budget would be accepted by both the EU and markets. A cut in payroll taxes will put 100 euros a month in the pockets of 14 million Italians, aimed at boosting spending power in the face of higher inflation, Meloni said.The budget also includes payroll tax breaks to women with at least two children and will guarantee free nursery school from the second child onward in a bid to “undo the story that having children is a disincentive to work.”Some 3 billion euros has been earmarked for Italy's public health services, with a goal of reducing wait times for services in the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic. Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani, head of the Forza Italia party, called the waiting lists “a national shame. … You can’t die of cancer because they do a scan when you are no longer there."The budget also raises the minimum pension, while cutting from 90 euros to 70 euros the annual fee assessed to households to support RAI state television.Meloni’s Cabinet approved funds to build a long-discussed bridge connecting mainland Italy to Sicily, a pet project of League leader Matteo Salvini, who is the infrastructure minister. Salvini said work would begin next year.。    (ECNS) -- A student satellite team from Harbin Institute of Technology successfully launched its self-developed Lilac-3 satellite into orbit, marking a milestone for a young team involved in independent satellite development.    The satellite was launched aboard a Gravity-1 Y4 carrier rocket from waters near Shanghai at 10:54 a.m. on July 22. Telemetry data was successfully received at 11:41 a.m., confirming the mission’s success.    Lilac-3 features an ultra-flat disk-shaped design, with its main body measuring less than 5 centimeters in thickness. The design allows satellites to be stacked more efficiently during launches and is expected to support future low-orbit constellation deployment.    When the project began, about 70% of team members were undergraduates, with an average age of 22. Most had no previous experience with complete satellite engineering projects and learned new technologies during the development process.    After the first Lilac-3 failed to enter orbit due to a launch failure earlier this year, the team rebuilt the satellite within three months, improving its performance and adding new experimental tasks.    Founded in 2012, this team is the first university student team in China to independently complete satellite design, development and mission management. Lilac-3 is the fourth satellite successfully launched by the team.    (By Intern Liu Shuangjing, Zhang Dongfang)                    。
