It is no coincidence that Giuseppe Conte repeated the concept in Naples, while touring the historic center with Campania presidential candidate Roberto Fico (pictured), the region of Italy with the highest income earners. The idea is to tax America’s big technology companies, such as the internet, banks, arms industry and, Conte said, use this money “to raise wages, to improve health services”. And M5, with its “noted” budget changes, created a new formula: care income, a contribution of between 400 and 600 euros per month to support the costs of the carer. These are proposals that anticipate actions being studied by the government. A bill, ready for approval in the Council of Ministers, introduces economic subsidies, up to 1200 euros per quarter, for those who help family members with severe disabilities. All related to ISEE limitations. However, Conte reiterated: “This tax government has done nothing to cut taxes and benefit families in difficulty.” At least a week ago, it was Fico who launched Regional Citizenship Income. The same proposal became the power of Pasquale Tridico, who was later defeated in Calabria. “I will repeat the income projects that have been stopped for various reasons – said Fico -. Whoever is in difficulty should not be left behind and the projects should be restarted on a regional scale”. Fico’s latest promise is in a region where there is a lot of malfeasance and fraud to take advantage of Grillino subsidies.
Citizenship income, citizenship pension, care income, minimum wage, universal income. M5 has always focused on inspections and subsidies since its inception. In fact, that is where the income of citizens is distributed by the yellow-green government. After problems and irregularities occurred, the instrument was abolished by the Eloni government. The movement has also been at the forefront of the minimum wage issue and has brought the Democratic Party down the same path. But all of them were born from the vision of “universal income”, the dream of Beppe Grillo.
A simple and utopian measure: subsidies paid to everyone by the State. Unemployed or not, poor or not. Grillo’s latest blog post started yesterday and discussed the introduction of basic income in the Marshall Islands: 29 atolls in the Pacific for 36 thousand residents.
