The government of Italy’s Prime Minister, Giorgia Meloni, has passed its budget for next year after the Senate voted in favor of it on Thursday, following the approval given by the Chamber of Deputies a few days earlier.
On this occasion, the Senate, with 107 votes in favor and 69 against, has endorsed the budgets of Italy’s far-right government. «Mission accomplished», celebrated the Minister of Economy, Giancarlo Giorgetti, after the vote.
Although the budgets are aimed in particular at trying to weather the economic crisis caused by inflation and high electricity prices, basic income support (reddito di cittadinanza) has been removed from them.
In parallel, the Meloni government has also approved a decree to significantly limit the operations of humanitarian aid ships rescuing migrants adrift in the Mediterranean Sea.
