Another space for interaction with citizens, “Talk to the Prime Minister”, was introduced by Prime Minister Rama as a platform available 24 hours a day, through which every citizen can communicate and share their thoughts with the Prime Minister and the government. Referring to the climate of protests and the difficulties in conducting dialogue, the Prime Minister said that technology offers a new opportunity for direct communication and the exchange of information and opinions, supported by a dedicated team that will monitor interactions on the platform.

Prime Minister Rama: Good, the website is ready. For anyone wishing to communicate, to enter into a dialogue against a backdrop of protests, escalation, violence, pressure, threats and attempts to obstruct dialogue at all costs, this is the bridge that has been built for you.

A functioning bridge, a bridge open 24 hours a day, a bridge where a dedicated team will, of course, ensure the flow of all the information and opinions exchanged. This is where we stand at this stage, because I believe that, sooner rather than later, the ice artificially created by those who think they can impose their will on society, on democratic coexistence and on everyone who thinks differently from them will also melt. In the meantime, we are making use of this golden opportunity that technology offers us.

You have it on your computer, you have it on your mobile phone screen. Welcome to “Dialogue”!
