[BIN-Italia – January 2013]
BIN Italia presented its latest book at Sala delle Carte Geografiche in Rome on January 15th. The book, entitled Reddito minimo garantito, un progetto necessario e possibile [Guaranteed Minimum Income, a feasible and necessary project] was published by Edizioni Gruppo Abele.
The book is the result of a research carried out by BIN Italia. It looks at the experiences of guaranteed minimum income in force in many European countries, it tells about the experimentation of implementing a guaranteed minimum income in some Italian regions, and finally it suggests a possible way to implement a national law on guaranteed minimum income in Italy by making suggestions and proposals, giving insights, and providing analyses.
The book presentation was followed by a debate moderated by Marta Bonafoni who is an independent journalist at Radio Popolare Roma. Luigi Ferrajoli (Italian jurist, and Professor of Philosophy of Law at University of Rome “Roma Tre”), Maria Rosaria Marella (Professor of Private Law at the University of Perugia), Stefano Rodotà (Italian jurist, and Professor of Law at University of Rome “La Sapienza”), Massimiliano Smeriglio (Town Councillor for Labour Policies at Provincia di Roma), and Nicola Zingaretti (Governor of the Province of Rome) took part in the debate. The authors of the book also took part in the event.
The book presentation was broadcast on Radio Radicale, and reported on UniRoma TV.

[BIN-Italia – January 2013]
On 4th January 2013 BIN Italia launched a campaign called “Guaranteed Income on the Political Agenda” inviting civil society, social movements, grassroots networks and associations, as well as those candidates who are sensitive to this issue, to organise public events in their territories in order to debate about the necessity to introduce such a measure in Italy.
During this last election campaign, the issue of income support was shyly mentioned by some candidates who have referred to it using different approaches which sometimes seemed to be confusing and conflicting. Candidates have not yet said anything concrete about it, i.e. about when and how it might be introduced, the eligibility criteria, and the amount of this measure.
BIN Italia launched this campaign in hopes that the issue of a guaranteed income is one of the points to be addressed during the first 100 days of the government, and that it will be dealt with as an urgent proposal which is necessary for the citizens of our country. Bin Italia reckons that this issue should be given due priority, and therefore it calls for the introduction of a Guaranteed Income on the Italian political agenda, both at local and national level.
