Citizen Income Revocation Protest - Naples
People protest against revocation of citizen's income outside Fratelli di Italia party headquarters on August 2, 2023 in Naples, Italy. Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, who leads the country's most far-right coalition since World War II, said the "citizens' income" benefits will be replaced by a more limited "inclusion cheque" for qualifying households. The government says the current subsidies cost too much, at around eight billion euros ($ 8.8 billion) last year, and discourage able-bodied people, especially youths, from looking for jobs. The new inclusion cheques, set to begin in January 2024, would cost around 5.4 billion euros annually, and be available only to households with minors, seniors 60 or older, and handicapped people.
