The great hoax of the social card One in three is no money
Minister Giulio Tremonti
ROME - It is said to die of shame. "I had the Dixan in hand, like a pound of barley and a can of tuna, but I had a premonition: you want to see that does not work? So I took the card and I asked the clerk to type in the numbers, I do not see well. It was not loaded. I had the tight money in the other hand, have all been counted, and I have given them to him and so it ended. I have not used ". Maria Pia, 67, fled away from the supermarket in Viareggio flushed, and luckily there was nobody in line. However, in the supermarket there will return more.
badges Tremonti is a beautiful serene blue. As the sky Forza Italy, what it once was. A flag waved crosses from left to right and it seems the trail of the legendary arrows. "It 'anonymous course not to be embarrassing," said Silvio Berlusconi the day of the year of € 40 per month to the needy in Italy.
anonymous. In fact yesterday, SMA supermarket in Rome, whether busy at the cash, old man in a row: "He has the case for social card?". This is no dry and resentful. "Excuse me, but it was to figure out how to pay."
Lusy Montemarian did not pay, even broke into tears when they communicated, how does the doctor to the family of a spouse dying, who had made it. A plant collected from a microcamera of "Mi manda Raitre" and joined other compassionate cases. A brick on the other, and more. In the end he builds this incredible wall of shame across the peninsula and stabs without guilt.
The Social Card, Mastercard circuit. The protagonists of a fairy tale. One swipe and go. The pensioner poverty that the cashier at the bakery, as the woman's chic Via Condotti, opens the bag, do not touch dirty money, but off his credit card. A second magnetic. If the paper is full. If it's empty - and so are one third of the approximately 500 000 spread - the pensioner must return the bread and pick public humiliation.
was June 19, it was summer, and the Minister Giulio Tremonti announced an old news: the credit card for the poor. Old because he had thought Vincenzo Visco, over 97: Discounts on expenses, rents, basic necessities. Old because he had appreciated Ermanno Gorrieri, partisan commander, founder of the Christian Social movement. Gorrieri died in 2004. In 2008, Tremonti to attend and present the turning point: a maneuver 450 million €, 200 seats Eni, Enel 50, others from Robin Tax. Remove from the rich, give to the poor: 40 euro per month, € 80 accredited every two months. For a whole year. Four months of ads, tight organization. Ready. It starts on December 1. Warning: those who maintain 15 000 €, the bank or the post office, retired or unemployed, is not entitled to the credit card of the state. I
520,000 in December to ask the social card, pensioners with income from 6000 € to 8000, elderly couples, families with dependent children, no more than three years, however. With only one house property, a car and a user active electrical. Standing in line for hours before the 9 thousand post offices. Because those who complete their files by December 31, he was entitled to € 120 (October, November and December in fact) to start. A race to nowhere. Why December 30, Christmas with optimism, INPS - which was to ascertain the income - stated that 330,000 cards have been charged. The others were empty.
Thousands of Italians gathered in a fake hand. A blue paper, plastic, with a magnetic back, the number, the yellow and red logo of Mastercard. Fine, indeed. E value: it is estimated cost at least 50 cents each, plus 1 € for the bi-monthly charge, plus 2 percent for the costs of the banking system. One joke 8 million and 500 thousand euro, in full swing. A lottery for half a million Italians who, just in front of the cashier and the clerk will know if his ration card is good or is it a twist of fate, if you can afford to go shopping or to announce its poverty ; at all. Two hundred thousand cards
discovered wandering in the pocket of his pocket, suspended or rejected. Two hundred thousand Italians, perhaps more, have the unconditional use. Some (few) know it. Others, many others who do not know, they face the disaster.
It takes the method to design such a long and futile effort. Front row: get certify poverty, absolute disgrace. Six thousand euro per year. In a row, of course, for having it confirmed by the patronage of the desired poverty. Then the INPS, the Post Office, still in line, always the same. Finally, courage, go to the supermarket and show it this cursed poverty. And then, two hundred times so far, see shameless: "The card is not charged." But he has read that right?
For the social card is a poor man hospitalized in Catania (sedated) in hospital following a furious fight, says a dispatch from ANSA on January 3 last year, generated "from the discussion to obtain the Social card ". John Spatola, painter of 47 years, he is confessing to police that he smashed the skull of acquaintance with a spanner. Which of the two was to get the social card? A boom in Verona withdrawals. The figure, reported the direction of the Post Office, is related to the presence of many religious institutions in place. Three hundred monks and nuns have been presented for payment. Have-nots. So they could. A Castelletto di Brenzone, a tiny village on Lake Garda, they were bestowed more than fifty. Why? There is situated the establishment of the Little Sisters of the Holy Family. Amen.
"distress and humiliation of all kinds. Accreditategli these blessed forty € pensions, so you also save money, "he advised the House yesterday, Pierluigi Bersani, the Minister of Economy. "It 's the scam of the century, a flop, the biggest bluff Tremonti" says Franco Laratta, the Calabrian deputy of the Democratic Party while collecting signatures for an urgent agony of this card early on bright blue, very patriotic with that bundle flag.
