L’Aria che Tira, Giarrusso sees himself and fires zero against Meloni: “Embarrassing, he attacks badly”

Giorgia Meloni attended the CGIL congress in Rimini, becoming the first female prime minister to attend the union’s main event in 27 years. The prime minister’s speech is at the center of the March 17 episode of L’Aria che Tira, a talk show on La7 hosted by Myrta Merlino, in which Dino Giarrusso, an MEP who wants to switch to the Democratic Party after his experience with the Movimento, 5 Estrelas is interviewed: “Meloni spoke well, but invaded very badly. When she spoke of basic income, it was clear that she doesn’t know who is unemployed in Italy today. The reasoning that he who can work should work must be embarrassing in its irrefutability. But unemployment does not exist because people are lazy. There are many people, especially young people, but not only, who can’t wait to have a stable job and are forced to take the basic income because the job doesn’t exist and hasn’t been created”.

“One of the ways to create jobs is – continues Giarrusso – to fight tax evasion, reduce working hours. No one has the magic recipe, but saying these things… In all European countries there is a citizen’s income and everywhere there is a minimum wage, which is also increasing. Going so far as to say that those who can work, the so-called employable, should not receive income because they can work is false and silly, in addition to being out of line with reality. How many people would like to work and cannot find work, even graduates, qualified people. I like to talk, but then – comments the Member of the European Parliament – the reality is anything but that.
