The minister, 61, also reiterated his controversial proposal to remove the reddito di cittadinanza welfare benefit from young people who have not completed their schooling."These kids prefer to receive the citizen's income rather than study and train to build their own dignified life plan", the minister said at a meeting with the National Association of Italian Municipalities (ANCI) on Wednesday.Valditara said it is "morally unacceptable" to give the welfare payment to those who "have not completed compulsory schooling or to those who, despite having a high school diploma, do not work and are not engaged in training activities", adding: "It would mean legitimising and even rewarding a violation of law".Under budget plans announced on Tuesday, the government said it intends to toughen the terms for the welfare benefit next year before scrapping it entirely for those deemed fit to work.Latest newsLatest Whats'onLatest ClassifiedsLatest Yellow PagesEVENTS THIS WEEK|M||T||W||T||F||S||S|Rome areasLatest classifiedsWomen civil rights and freedomExperienced male care Assistant/housekeeper/ driver3D modeler and CAD designer Junior looking for job or cooperation in RomeWeb designer and webmaster available in Rome"
