1) Deaths in the agricultural sector, an endless tragedy. And renovate the tractor fleet it's a challenge
Mauro Rossato - president of Vega Engineering job security forum - has said: «The number of mortal accidents in the agricultural sector doesn't decrease. In the first trimester of 2013 we have already recorded a 10% increase in relation with 2012 (from 99 to 108 deaths). Farmers die because of they are crushed with their vehicles or because of they get drawn on their fields». 

The causes could be a danger underestimation or the use of old and unsafe machines; the crisis implement this aspect preventing the farmers to renovate their machines fleet. According to Rossato, this is the level on which politics should step in: «Politics should envisage some incentive plans for the machineries' renovation». Backing this assessment, it comes a resource completed by Unacoma (the federation of agricultural machineries constructors): less 17,4% of machinery enrollment in 2012 (in relation with 2011) and less 3% in the first trimester of 2013 (in relation with 2012).

4) Ciambetti from Lega Nord: the state cares its affairs but not its citizens' health
Roberto Ciambetti - regional councilor from Lega Nord party - has commented the relationship between state's cuts on healthcare and a worsening about life expectation. Due to the economic crisis, the austerity policies enabled all over Europe have caused a negative record about deaths and spread of diseases.
Ciambetti has recalled a medical research published by Oxford University dealing with the effects of a 80 euros per person cut down in healthcare services: all the normal health records have got worse.
Although Ciambetti doesn't have any kind of national record, he is pretty sure about the strong connection between healthcare cuts and a worse life expectation. In order to prevent all this, Ciambetti has tried to focus the public attention on a topic which must be solved if we don't want to make the weaker class of the population pay for all of us.
