In Giovinazzo, Municipality in the province of Bari, the Caf assailed by phone calls from the unemployed: “Give us the form to request citizenship income”
Of Claudio Cartaldo
Not surprising, or maybe yes. But in Southern Italy, there where the Five Star Movement he collected almost all the constituencies available in the last political elections, il citizen's income that seems to be the promise it has warmed the hearts of voters.
To prove it there would be a story that is causing quite a bit of discussion.
Calls for citizenship income
The story comes from Giovinazzo, small municipality in Puglia. In the Molfetta college (where Giovinazzo was located) Francesca Galizia, grillina candidate, got the 43% and in the municipality the votes were just under 40%. A win across the board. Bene. As explained today Gazzetta del Mezzogiorno, in this citadel of 20 thousand inhabitants on the outskirts of Bari, but, the Cafs and the patronages were attacked with the request to be able to fill out the forms to obtain the citizenship income. “They won there Five Stars – the Caf employees were heard to say – now give us the forms”.
At first the operators thought it was a joke. But then the high number of phone calls made it clear that many had believed the promises had already been implemented grilled. Faced with the obvious answer that a similar module does not yet exist (and who knows if it will ever exist), many citizens turned to the municipal offices for confirmation.

The surprise of the Caf operators

According to what was reported by Gazzetta del Mezzogiorno, the citizens who called when faced with the denied form responded: “But I heard it at television“. It is difficult for operators to have to explain that a vote is not enough to obtain citizenship income. First the Parliament will have to take office, give confidence to a government, who will then have to find the economic coverage to guarantee all unemployed people a guaranteed minimum income. According to the local newspaper which interviewed the Caf operators, The people making the calls would have been young people, unemployed and with low educational qualifications.

Other Municipalities involved

The story was repeated in other municipalities in Puglia. The ‘Future Door’” of Bari, manager Franco Lacarra tells Ansa, “Between yesterday and today, around fifty people have requested the forms to obtain citizenship income, these are mostly young people”.
