Aldo and Joseph working at the Caf Lineri with me that I get requests from people and their endless problems. Many stories that I propose. are the stories of today, those of ordinary bureaucratic folly and tragedy of poverty.
What was supposed to be the card of the poor (the Social Card) is proving a real intrigue of cunning tax. We believe that this Government has really overstepped the limits of decency.
There are stories that leave a bitter taste to us as operators of Lineri Caf CGIL (Tax Assistance Centers). Since joining the operating social card working at a fast pace forced to adapt to the requirements of those who turn to the offices of the union, considered a panacea for all ills. They ask, anxious, information on the card purchases. There are also those (and there are many) that cling to everything. What make do as best. How quell'anziano confiding in us saying, "At home I have not even the fridge, so what's the point, it is always empty." You just scratch when you get to the bone and missing the next twenty days board. And if you have just over € 400 per month, this will happen often. Here, at the Caf Lineri by day we are in an emergency, and even our offices across the province have been under assault.
lot of people, anticipating the expected letter from the Ministry, was presented to our desks to see if it was among the beneficiaries. The agony is greater for our grandparents neighborhood. The repertoire of borderline cases is broad. The card is a pipe dream for many. They are poor, but not enough if they have a pension in excess of even a few pennies, the limits imposed by law (6000 € ISE the Economic Status).
We try and seek possible solutions for each them, but the disappointment is often scorching. There are no margins. Post offices were besieged by women and old men, all lined up to present patterns duly completed. Difficult situation through post offices: interest, intervention by the police, waited over four hours. One scenario that certainly does not help the citizens have to wait your turn in poor conditions. Poor and mocked by the bureaucracy. Have not been evaluated the overall needs and the implications for staff of the proposals. It should be noted that the situation was exacerbated by the coincidence with the payment of pensions, as is well known, is the beginning of each month. After many expectations, the real tragedy is that they are not always properly completed. DIY often involves dangerous risks. It happens that for a few euro (because you own a house or a little sum in the bank to guarantee your demise when you are gone, just to remove the embarrassment of your children) are not entitled to your shopping cart, with the possibility of incurring in severe criminal penalties. You must not own more than a car even if they are old clunkers, no more than a contract to supply electricity or gas, all of which are not always captured by user information. Then there are the smart ones who have the income indicator ISE fake, perhaps released by Caf some very serious and electorally compliant. In questo dramma sociale, questi ultimi rappresentano i veri "vampiri" dell'ignobile opportunismo. Siamo dinanzi ad una vera emergenza del costume, ad una mortificazione senza paragoni, a dover analizzare l'uomo e le sue miserie, spulciare nel suo intimo, nella sua condizione di indigenza, farsi confessare, in barba alla privacy, la propria situazione economica per evitargli i guai di una dichiarazione di infedeltà fiscale in buona fede.
Stupirsi è d’obbligo, ancor prima d’indignarsi per i provvedimenti adottati dal Governo, il quale vuol far passare come benefici la mortificazione della povertà. Siamo davanti ad un' ideologia del regresso, e non c’è mai fine al peggio.
Una volta ottenuta la social card per poterla utilizzare, come una normale carta di credito, bisogna che il salumiere sotto casa tua possieda un POS (dall'inglese Point Of Sale, letteralmente punto di vendita). Cioè quell’aggeggio dove si strofina la carta e si digita il codice pin.
Vi immaginate i nostri vecchietti dover fare queste operazioni a Lineri?
Sempre che il salumiere sia provvisto di POS. L’impressione è che al centro della discussione sulla Social card ci sia un vuoto di consapevolezza su che cosa sia la povertà. Non la povertà «percepita» di una società che diventa progressivamente più immobile, né quella della classe media che deve ridefinire il suo stile di vita, e neanche quella di una classe operaia che deve drastically reduce consumption also essential. Let's talk about real poor, half of which live with what they have, for the other half of the field of hope.
They called Social Card, in English, namely the "piece of bread."
There are ways and ways to help the poor, but the thing that you should never do is to humiliate them. The dignity of the poor man's dignity is worth more than the rich. If the rich can buy, the poor man's dignity does not understand it, the must have. And he must be given.
