The Meloni government guarantees that App 18 cannot be touched. On the contrary. To explain the goodness of the changes made to the measure introduced by Matteo Renzi, it was Maurizio Gasparri. The vice-president of the Senate, presenter of the transmission of the LA7 “Omnibus”, Thursday, December 22, announced App 18, the fund to help young people acquire cultural goods and services (books, museums, cinemas, theaters, concerts).
“First of all, there has been a lot of discussion about the number: it has increased and not decreased. Besides, now the measure favors those with lower income”, said Gasparri with a personal example: “Why can my daughter who has a parliamentarian father get a state discount to buy books? She was right in prioritizing those with lower income and students with better school performance. It’s a social measure.”
The theme is used by Gasparri to throw a poisoned dart at his political opponents with great depth: “I was stunned when I heard the leftist parties say that it was not right… I understand that I am from Panzeri’s party (the MEP at the center of the scandal Qatargate, ed) who traveled with 650,000 euros in cash, but there are also poor people… If someone does not agree and wants to give the money to the rich, we say no.
The Forza Italia exponent also defended the government in the budget law (“we had less time than previous governments because we voted in September”) and assured that it will be approved by December 31.
