Giorgia Meloni “opens” his office as prime minister and launches the column “Cadernos de Giorgia”, a meeting scheduled on Facebook with which the prime minister wants to explain the government choices that have been most talked about in recent days. “Many ask me why I always carry a notebook,” Meloni begins, showing an agenda with the words GIORGIA on the cover. “I always travel with a notebook because I write down everything, what I have to do, what I have to remember, I write what I think, I write answers to the questions I read, the content of the things I think about, these notebooks contain practically all my work”. so this first episode, as she herself defines it, will serve to start sharing these themes. We start with a cash limit, obligation to pay with Pos only above 60 euros and basic income. Twenty-three minutes to discuss the merits of these reforms that the Government is preparing to launch with the budgetary manoeuvre.
Behind Meloni you can see his desk where the prime minister works. There are three small fake trees, each in a different color from the Italian flag: white, red and green. The prime minister was the first to address the issue of the cash cap: “Perhaps not everyone knows that the year in which there was the least tax evasion was 2010”, when “the cash cap was 5,000 euros. the ceiling in cash, the less you favor evasion “. And on the use of the POS, he explains:” We were told “you want to prevent us from paying with the POS and you want to encourage evasion”. The limit of 60 euros is indicative, it could be even lower, there is an ongoing discussion with the EU and we’ll see how it ends”. Finally, basic income: “Among the things I heard is also ‘Meloni takes away our income and forces us to go steal’. Between income and theft, perhaps the option of going to work should also be considered”.
Meloni develops the concept: “It is true that finding work is difficult in Italy, but perhaps it is not as difficult as some people think. There are several companies that are asking the Government, as part of the flow decree, to let regular migrants come in to do it. I asked what contracts and they told me: national collective agreement, which is a contract that has all the guarantees, living wage, illness, vacation, indemnity, thirteenth salary… I think between Rdc and will steal choosing to do a job very dignified, of any kind, for which it seems that we ask immigrants to enter Italy because there are no ones who want to do them, I think it’s much better.” Meloni’s live on Facebook, after more than 20 minutes, ends here. But it’s only the first episode.
