ManOvera 2025: Oppositions relaunch the minimum wage to 9 euros

The ManOvera 2025 law decree is back in the Chamber for the final go-ahead

The oppositions relaunch the minimum wage, Conte's amendment is readmitted

The oppositions relaunch the minimum wage, and Conte's amendment is readmitted. The minimum wage is back at the center of the debate on the ManOvera 2025 decree, which returned to the Chamber for the final go-ahead. The oppositions have relaunched the issue, presenting amendments to introduce a minimum wage of 9 euros per hour.

The amendment presented by the M5s leader, Giuseppe Conte, was readmitted after the Assembly voted in favor of its admissibility. The amendment provides for the introduction of a minimum hourly wage of 9 euros gross for all workers, starting from 1 January 2024.

The debate on the minimum wage is very heated, with the oppositions supporting its introduction and the government and majority against. The government has always maintained that the minimum wage is not the right solution to combat wage inequality, and that other measures are needed, such as tax cuts and incentives for businesses.

The oppositions, on the other hand, argue that the minimum wage is necessary to guarantee a decent life for all workers and to reduce wage inequality. They also point out that Italy is one of the few European countries that does not yet have a minimum wage.

The vote on the amendment on the minimum wage is expected to take place in the coming days. If the amendment were approved, it would be a major victory for the oppositions and a step forward in the fight against wage inequality in Italy.
