Appropriate offer, Durigon: “Graduates can also be waiters, decree law on Citizenship Income in January”

“The fair offer we have in mind foresees that any person, even a graduate, if they offer him a job as a waiter, even close to home, it is right that he accept it, because if one takes public money I don’t think he can be picky. The criterion of territoriality also remains because a person cannot go to Trieste for two days if he is from Naples, I would reassure Conte”.

He said it Claudius DurigonUndersecretary of Labour, on Radio 24, explaining that the government aims to “bring home” in the second half of January a decree that will affect basic income, “but also many other issues at work”.

“If the offer is in any case both within the time limits and close to home, the recipient will have to accept any type of job offer, this will certainly be a topic that will certainly enter our decree. After which many things will enter, from training to matching in order to be able to give the perceivers answers and a different functionality,” added Durigon.

The changes to the Rdc in maneuver

With the last approved amendments to the manoeuvre, the adjective “reasonable” drops from the offer that the worker is obliged to accept, in order not to lose the benefit. It means, as the leader of the M5S Giuseppe Conte denounces, “that the most deprived people must accept any job offer anywhere in Italy: it means destroying the social elevator. We are in pure madness”. But it is not only the M5S that is railing against the demolition of the basic income. The entire centre-left is protesting, and even the trade unions are accusing the government of “waging war on the poor”.
