Schlein: “Meloni removes the citizen’s income and then offers a tip”

«Giorgia Meloni dismantles the only instrument of social protection, the basic income, with one hand and then offers a bribe with the other, a figure that insults people’s dignity and will not change the life of any family in difficulty: the 382 euros of the card for the purchase of basic foodstuffs corresponds to about 30 euros a month, less than one euro a day. And they will only go to families of three people with Isee up to 15 thousand euros, leaving out elderly people who live alone and all recipients of the basic income. It is a measure that excludes the municipalities and social services which, on the other hand, are aware of the most critical situations in the area». The secretary of the Democratic Party declares it Elly Schlein. «In the meantime – continues Schlein – the deafening silence of the prime minister on the minimum wage proposal continues: it is Istat, and not the opposition, that certifies that it would help 3.5 million male and female workers. With inflation skyrocketing, especially on foodstuffs, the government should at least have the decency not to flaunt an intervention that will have zero impact on so many people in difficulty”.
