Renzi: 100 share? 20 billion for 150 thousand people an absurdity
"When we say that Quota 100 is not good we are not attacking the elderly: I say that 20 billion euros put together on 100 thousand people or 190 thousand as Salvini says, 20 billion for 150 thousand people are absurd". This was stated by Matteo Renzi, founder of Italia Viva, introducing the Family Minister Elena Bonetti on Leopolda 10's stage. "The 80 euros are worth 10 billion and go to 10 million people, the 20 billion of Quota 100 go to 150 thousand people , and it is an injustice ", observed Renzi, according to whom" we have nothing against those of Quota 100 ", but" the real point for me is that we must think about tomorrow ".

"Pos sign of civilization, let those who oppose shame"

"I wouldn't talk about battle - he replied to journalists who asked him about the 'battle' between M5s and Iv on the roof of cash and the use of POS - which is serious for something as trivial as POS and cash; this gives the sense than we are in the evaluation of the problems of Italians. It is a sign of civilization to lower the ceiling on cash, it is a sign of civilization to use electronic money, to transform everyday life into simpler things ". With the smartphone, Boccia pointed out, "you already pay for everything in most parts of the world and those who don't allow us to do so should be ashamed". "There are 205 billion cash running - he concluded - we simply want to improve the lives of Italians by lowering the costs of transition".
