The MNLF believes that the Association of Pharmacy Owners should study how to welcome the challenge of competition instead of continue to lead rearguard battles destined to have poor results. A tough battle is underway in Italy today between those who want a more modern and competitive country and those who seek to defend ancient privileges with all means by trying to escape the logic of competition and of the market, with sterile and more often than not specious arguments as demonstrated by the unjustified alarmism aroused in recent days by the case of a food supplement and a reagent. The current leaders, opposed to any change, represent the old Italy, anachronistic, feudal and deaf to changes in society, as demonstrated by the repeated threats of suspension by the federal bodies addressed to their own provincial organizations that did not join last July's strikes. In this category, evidently, old Italy has once again won and the reforming forces have once again been put in a corner if, after today's assembly held in Rome and defined by press agencies as "very hot", they have been confirmed the top of the category.
