Rome, Nov. 14 (LaPresse) – “The government has not scrapped the citizenship income scheme. Can we say that you haven’t scrapped it? You made such a fuss about it,” but “it’s still there”. This was said by Five Star Movement leader Giuseppe Conte at the Small Industry Forum currently taking place in Rome. “You came up with the slogan about people lounging on sofas,” Conte observed, “but you haven’t solved the country’s problem because the income support scheme is still there; you’ve just changed its name. We will simply work on this because the real problem in Italy is active labour market policies, and you haven’t solved it in four years. The figures on abuses are being provided by the person you appointed at INPS, but the measure has been yours for three years. Bring the figures to the parliamentary committee and to the chamber, and we’ll check them. Do something serious.”
