«With 500 euros we won’t make it. Parasites us? We would like a job like everyone else»- Corriere.it

Forty-four years old she, 45 him. Both Calabrian. Both unemployed. Daniela and Giuseppe live in the province of Catanzaro and have a 10-year-old daughter. They currently receive the Citizenship Income, every month 780 euros for twomore 40 euro allowance for the daughtermore 280 euros of contribution for the rent: total 1100 euros.
With the new Active inclusion measurement (Mine, which will take the place of the RdC) what will change?
Meanwhile as a first effect the amount received will decrease And, Looking at the future, the measure will not be forever.

From 780 euros to 500 euros per month

Sar a catastrophe for many families like mine – says Daniela, worried about the news that has rebounded in the last few hours -. From what they have explained to us, the monthly amount we will receive will be greatly reduced. From 780 we will probably go to 500 euros. On the rent contribution who is giving us a big hand today, nothing is certain. So the situation will become dramatic.

Not employable

Daniela and Giuseppe fall into the so-called non-employable category (an audience which, according to the reform, includes poor families where there is at least one minor or an elderly person over 60 or a disabled person, editor’s note) as they have a 10 year old daughter. So from a certain point of view they will still be protected by the subsidy. But it is not possible to live on 500 euros – protests Daniela. Already now so problematic. With income card money I can’t even activate the Internet line for the house, considered superfluous. All limited.
No one thinks we haven’t tried to look for work, but here it is almost impossible to work honestly and get paid. My husband was a pizza maker last summer. And the little money he earned weighed on the family Isee to such an extent that we almost lost the right to income. So force us to work illegally not to exceed the 7 thousand gross.

Parasites

If we hadn’t had the Basic income I don’t know where we would have ended up. And now this news wanted by the government makes us tremble. It will last 18 months, they say. And then? Who defines us parasites, I would like to say that we would like a job like everyone else. For two years now, thanks to the Income, I have been working for a few hours in the municipal offices to carry out secretarial activities. I am appreciated and considered indispensable. Those offices need a person like me. So I ask myself: why not me withdraw the subsidy and offer me a proper job?
