Italian Opposition Parties Push for Minimum Wage Legislation Amid Budget Controversies
Opposition parties in Italy, including the Democratic Party, Five Star Movement, and Leftist Alliance, are set to deposit signatures for a bill establishing a minimum wage of 9 euros per hour. The Democratic Party criticizes the government over the fiscal budget, likening it to a mere handout. Matteo Renzi proposes converting migrant centers in Albania into prisons for Albanian nationals. The Five Star Movement argues that the budget harms middle-class families, while +Europa calls for increased funding for sexual education in schools.
