“Governing the Economy to fight Poverty” was the theme of an initiative organized by the M5S Brindisi Territorial Group. Video Interview with Roberto Fusco.
Today, in Italy, there are around 6 million Italians who live in poverty, a “certified fact, from which “there is no escape”, “dramatic”, which must make us reflect and, above all, act
Politics, majorities and oppositions, naturally have their own positions, their own vision (in terms of tools, initiatives, but also and above all proclamations), but, “stronger than everything and everyone” is, in fact, reality.
Unemployment, job losses, precariousness, poverty, scenarios which continue to characterize a South which, for example, is asking for the “usefulness” of Differentiated Autonomy.
Topics that were promptly addressed during an initiative organized by the M5S – Territorial Group of Brindisi at the Gino Strada Hall of Palazzo Nervegna, entitled – theme “Governing the Economy to fight poverty”.
The initiative-conference was moderated by the M5S BRINDISI City Councilor Roberto Fusco, the authoritative interventions of the former INPS President and current Professor of Labor Economics at the University of Rome prof. Pasquale Tridico, prof. Nicola Grasso (Associate of Constitutional Law University of Salento), the President of the City Council of Ostuni Valentina Palmisano, the Head of the M5S – Brindisi Territorial Group Ruggero Valzano.
“Italy faces a phase of decline with widespread precariousness and low productivity, it will be enough to remember that today there are around 6 million people living in poverty, which is why a change towards industrial policies focused on innovation and the creation of
quality employment. Pasquale Tridico proposes a new social pact (governing the economy so that man prevails over the markets) to guarantee education, health, and civil rights for all. This requires greater public intervention, including instruments such as the European Citizen’s Income and the minimum wage, to promote equity and solidarity.”
This, in essence, is the “programmatic and social manifesto” of the M5S, on a very delicate topic which increasingly sees the increase in disparities, social injustices and situations of poverty. extreme hardship and precariousness.
It is enough to see, “so as not to go far”, the situation in Brindisi and in the area, where several families, even “unsuspected” ones, continue to go to Caritas to ask for a hot meal and support.
Not to mention, speaking of “tools and measures” (and what if it was, above all, propaganda?), of many families from Brindisi and Puglia still waiting to hear news on the requests – applications presented for the Dignity Income.
