Labor minister defends rule protecting public servants

Labor Minister Giorgio Boccardo defended a controversial "tie-up" rule, stating it aims to protect public servants from systematic denigration. The rule makes it harder to remove public employees, allowing those with over two years of service to appeal to the Comptroller. Boccardo expressed openness to discussing this point to reach an agreement. Boccardo criticized the public debate, arguing it unfairly denigrates public servants who are essential for the country's daily functioning.
