Rome, April 30 (LaPresse) – “Now everything is clear: President Meloni has moved to Mars, perhaps with Musk's help. She must have filmed the video she just posted from there, celebrating the increase in wages and family purchasing power, and how well Italian salary dynamics are going compared to the rest of Europe.” This is how M5S President Giuseppe Conte commented on social media. “Cabinet meetings and May Day announcements on workplace safety aren't enough,” he added. “The right to work isn't a candle to light once a year.”

“Houston is calling Meloni,” he continued. “Eurostat informs us that 9% of full-time workers are in poverty, Istat tells us that wages are down 8% from 2021, up to €100 have been cut from the lowest incomes due to the mess of the latest Budget Law, and yes, wages have increased—but only for Ministers. Meloni should explain why, in August 2023, she met with us at Chigi and then rejected our proposal for a legal minimum wage, which we had gathered support for from other political forces previously opposed, from the PD to Calenda. At that time, she took 60 days to think it over, actually to mock us: more than 600 days have passed without any news. It's time to get back to reality, among the people, to give real answers.”
