Citizenship income and Ukraine, pressure from the M5S and Avs on the allies

It had been promised, now there is a date: the Campo largo program should arrive on November 30th. This was announced by Europa Verde co-spokesperson Angelo Bonelli from the microphones of Radio24. The four leaders of the coalition had set the end of the month as the deadline for the programmatic agreement. "We are in a position to close," says Bonelli, even if the issue of foreign policy and the Russian-Ukrainian conflict remains to be resolved. Meanwhile, on the economic front, the 5 Star Movement has received - at least according to the words of vice president Stefano Patuanelli - the yes for the introduction of citizenship income in the program in view of the 2027 elections.

Chapter apart from that of the assets. "Naturally we are discussing", glosses the secretary of the Democratic Party Elly Schlein who adds on the program: "We are working, I am sure that we will find a synthesis on the common program, because we are not starting from scratch, but from many common proposals". On the Ukraine issue, the first to express himself is Bonelli himself. "We are working - he comments in the interview - and I am convinced that we will arrive at a common position". The objective for the Avs leader is to arrive at a "proposal to bring to Europe so that it can play a role in the solution to the criminal war unleashed by Putin". On military support for Kiev, Bonelli is clear: "Ukraine must be supported. But after almost five years of war, with a frightening number of dead and wounded, the time has come to change the page." The same turning point that was evoked a few days ago by the M5S leader Giuseppe Conte from the Porta a Porta studios. A perspective that clashes with that of the reformist wing of the Democratic Party, which has made military support for Ukraine an essential element of its political program. "On defence, security and Ukraine, everything is clearly written about where we need to be and where we will be - comments dem senator Filippo Sensi on social media -. It's not that you have to invent anything: by all necessary means. At all costs. Then you put all the fluff you want into it".

While the game on Kiev risks remaining open until the last day of the month, on the economic side it is Giuseppe Conte's party that is rejoicing. The announcement comes from vice president Stefano Patuanelli: "We have already found an agreement also on citizenship income: it will be part of the coalition program". For Patuanelli: "If you are able to work and have lost your job, perhaps because what you were doing is replaced by AI, we will support you financially for a period of your life and give you the tools to retrain". The vice president of the Senate Mariolina Castellone also intervenes on the topic: "The need to return to a universal measure against poverty, improved in the part of active policies, is given by the numbers". Action leader Carlo Calenda, on the other hand, is against the return of income: "They're starting again with bonuses and welfare - he comments on X -. After all, they already destroyed public finances the last time they governed Italy".
