Citizenship income, Meloni debunks criticism: “We are not going to go back, the job is found”

Demonstrations, insults and protests do not scare the government, which is determined to proceed with canceling the citizen’s income. Giorgia Meloni clarifies this by posting her speech to Giorgia’s notes in the column. “The Government does not intend to go back on the citizen’s income – she clarifies immediately – because we want to move from the citizen’s income to the income from work, that is, what is obtained thanks to work”. Then he also clarifies for those who blocked Naples yesterday with a demonstration to ask not to cancel the DRC. «In any case, I want to say to those who demonstrate against the repeal and to those who do not demonstrate, but who are perhaps afraid of not finding a job, that the estimate of Excelsior, the information system on employment and training, is that July to September, just under one and a half million new hires are expected in Italy, even on fixed-term contracts. If the labor market is looking for a million and a half workers and 112,000 perfectly employable people lose their earnings, is there a good chance of finding a job, even a temporary one, hoping to find a better one?’ The official recalled that the training platform has been active since September and those who lose their income can also access the civil service or participate in public utility services, all possibilities that provide for “an economic contribution”.

For the search for a job, Meloni specified, “certainly there are differences from region to region. In Tuscany, more than 100,000 hires are expected and only 3,000 people are no longer receiving income. It will probably be easier than in Campania, where a quarter of those excluded from the measure live, around 25,000 people, but 108,000 new hires are also expected in Campania”. “It has already been said that the revocation of the citizen’s income was a bolt from the blue,” he explained. This is false, because what we did was not only written in the center-right government program, but also in the budget law, approved in December Everyone knew that under the budget law, approved in December, in 2023, the income of people aged 18 to 59 without disabilities and without dependent children would cease after seven months”.

«It has already been said – added the leader of the Brothers in Italy – – that people who lose their income because they can work are left alone, but this is also false, because for these people the new support for formation and employment, to help them to enter the job market. What is this tool about? It consists of voluntary registration on a platform that gives access to various possibilities, participation in a training program, during which you also receive an economic benefit of 350 euros per month, or participation in the national civil service even beyond the normally permitted age. possibility of participating in public utility projects. “So – concludes Meloni – there are several possibilities for those who want to get involved”.
