VOICED : Italian medieval village orders elderly to defy death

A small village with a declining population of 500 faces the risk of disappearing. The 40-year-old mayor, a pediatrician, has implemented a decree requiring annual health checkups or a 30 euro tax to improve health awareness. This initiative led to significant participation, with nearly half the population undergoing checkups. The village secured EU funds to establish a medical clinic, providing regular healthcare access for the elderly. Despite national healthcare challenges, the mayor also plans to revitalize the village with an adventure park and accommodations to attract young residents.

What is the significance of the 30 euro tax related to health checkups?

What additional projects is the mayor pursuing to attract new residents?
