deconstruct‘Orphaned by decree’: Italy’s same-sex parents react to losing their rights
CylusthevirusThe fuck is going on over there Italy? I know the USA's a dumpster fire but are you guys like ... trying to be the European equivalent if Mississippi?
We have a massively growing right wing due to people finding little answers from the center-right. Left wing is a minority, and the only time a major center-left party went to power it was a split power with a right wing party that months later voluntarily sabotaged its own position of power just so the center-left party was not in power anymore. We went into technical government, during COVID.
What the people want to hear is increased wages, lower gas prices and less taxes. Yet, they vote “the queen of the traditional family” (almost actual quote) and now we have a prime minister that has cut welfare for the unemployed and reverting rights. But hey, they want to implement minimum wage I guess.
Still, you can’t get away with cutting welfare like that. We have places like Naples almost rioting.
loutrThere’s no minimum wage in Italy?
Nope. It was an optional complex system where organizations would sign deals to pay workers at least specific amounts if those workers are in particular fields.
Here is the thing. A major issue in Italy is “dark labor”, that essentially means working without signing a contract (so you are without any worker protection). In the current state, adding it now would only fuel this terrible practice.
