Sport: Valente, Necessary certainty on the funds

(ANSA) – ROME, JUN 14 – “While appreciating the efforts of colleagues who drafted the proposal for a constitutional revision to include sporting activity in the Constitution, I would like to underline how some overly emphatic tones for the approval of this law should be partly damped.

On the merits, the proposed amendment does not entail directly applicable regulatory obligations and is not programmatic since, in merely recognizing the value of sporting activity, it does not indicate any future political objective to the legislator “: the M5s deputy Simone Valente declares in a note. “The constitutional amendment – continues the parliamentarian – does not in fact commit the Government and Parliament to promote, protect and encourage sports. It would recognize its abstract value which certainly today, with the Constitution unchanged, has never been questioned and is limited to a mere statement of principle: sporting activity in all its forms has an educational, social and promotional value. of psychophysical well-being “.

“It is good that attention is paid to the importance of physical activity and sport – concludes Valente – but it is necessary to start an ever wider debate so that sport, sports workers, families and children have certainty about the resources in this such a complex historical moment. And certainties can only be given by a State that understands sport and physical exercise as a right of people to be financed with all the necessary resources “. (HANDLE).
