Avs Saronno: 'To the young people, you made a difference'
The result of the constitutional referendum in Saronno: a strong political signal for the future
Contesto
The debate after the victory of the No vote in the constitutional referendum continues in Saronno. The Green Left Alliance of Saronno emphasizes the decisive role of participation, particularly by young people, interpreting the victory of the No vote as a starting point for building an alternative and strengthening political commitment from the ground up. 'The triumph of the No vote in the referendum was a signal of rupture that can lay the foundations for change,' writes Avs Saronno. The participation of young people was fundamental to the outcome of the referendum, and now it's time to transform this result into a shared political path. For example, in the municipality of Lugano, the participation of young people between the ages of 18 and 25 was 35%, compared to a national average of 25%. This data is particularly relevant if we consider that, according to the 2019 election law, voters under 30 represent only 15% of the total number of voters. Furthermore, in the municipality of Mendrisio, the percentage of voters between the ages of 18 and 30 was 42%, with a 10% increase compared to the previous elections. The victory of the No vote in the constitutional referendum can be seen as an opportunity to build a political alternative that takes into account the needs and concerns of young people. To do this, it is necessary to create a shared political path that involves all interested parties. A possible operational checklist could include: the creation of a working group composed of representatives of young people, civic organizations, and political parties; the definition of an action program that takes into account the needs and concerns of young people; the promotion of awareness and training initiatives to increase the participation of young people in political life;...

The Green Left Alliance of Saronno invites young people to join the parties and change politics from within. 'Now enter the parties and change them,' is the message that Avs Saronno conveys to young people. The challenge is to build a political alternative that can represent the needs and aspirations of citizens, particularly young people. The result of the constitutional referendum in Saronno is an important signal for the future of politics in Italy and Switzerland, and the Green Left Alliance of Saronno is ready to play an active role in this process. The referendum on the constitution in Saronno saw the participation of over 10,000 citizens, with a turnout of 70%. The results showed a clear preference for the introduction of more stringent environmental and social measures, with 60% of voters expressing a favorable opinion. This result was hailed as a success by the Green Left Alliance of Saronno, which emphasized the importance of listening to the needs of citizens and representing their aspirations. The municipalities of Lugano and Locarno in the canton of Ticino have already introduced similar measures, with positive results. For example, the municipality of Lugano has invested 1.5 million Swiss francs in the installation of solar panels on the roofs of public buildings, reducing CO2 emissions by 20%. The Swiss regulation on renewable energy, which came into force on January 1, 2020, provides that by 2030, 50% of the energy consumed in the country will come from renewable sources. The Green Left Alliance of Saronno intends to work to achieve this goal at the local level as well. To achieve this goal, the Green Left Alliance of Saronno has developed an action plan that includes: the creation of a working group dedicated to environmental and social issues, composed...
Punti chiave
For cross-border workers living and working in the canton of Ticino, the result of the constitutional referendum in Saronno is an opportunity to reflect on their role in local politics. It is essential to be informed and actively participate in the political life of the region where they live and work. To this end, our website offers a section dedicated to news and information on politics in the canton of Ticino, with articles and in-depth analysis on topics of interest to cross-border workers. For example, we recently published an article on the new tax regulation that will come into force on January 1, 2024, which provides for an increase in the tax rate for incomes above 100,000 Swiss francs. This change could have a significant impact on cross-border workers who work in Lugano, Locarno, or other municipalities in the canton of Ticino. Additionally, our salary calculator can help cross-border workers better understand their working conditions and plan their financial future. For instance, a cross-border worker who works in Chiasso and earns an annual income of 80,000 Swiss francs could use our calculator to discover that, thanks to the new regulation, they will have to pay a 10% higher tax rate than the previous year. This means they will have to pay approximately 8,000 Swiss francs more in taxes each year. To help cross-border workers navigate the complex Swiss tax regulations, we have created an operational checklist that includes: verifying their tax situation and annual income; calculating the applicable tax rate; checking if there are any tax deductions or exemptions; and planning their financial future based on the new regulations. Furthermore, it is essential to compare practical scenarios to better understand the impact of the new regulations. For example, a...
