"As an Italian MEP from the region of Emilia-Romagna, these recent days have been full of apprehension, as we waited for approval by the Council of our assistance to the victims of the earthquake. ‘United in diversity’ is the EU slogan but it is all too often forgotten by Member States who refuse to offer help when others are in difficulty. The European Parliament has finally managed to approve, with an overwhelming majority, the mobilisation of EUR 670 million for the reconstruction of the towns and villages of Emilia-Romagna that were destroyed in a series of earthquakes that started on 20 May 2012, leaving 27 dead, over 350 injured and over 45 000 evacuated. The measure was approved on 21 November, the day on which nearby Venice celebrates the feast of the ‘Madonna of Health’, who is popularly held to have saved the city from a devastating epidemic in 1630. European and Italian citizens who visit Parliament are right to believe strongly in this institution that once again has shown that it is willing to fight on behalf of and stand side-by-side with the citizens it represents, overcoming the egotism and indifference of certain Member States."@en1
