Millions of families in rented accommodation live in absolute poverty: the failure of liberalism

Data released today by Instat on absolute poverty shatters the propaganda narrative of meloniana/salviniana.

In 2022, 17.6% of families living in Italy are renting; 73.2% own their own home. Absolute poverty varies according to the type of housing tenure. Instat states that more than 983 thousand poor families rent, they represent 45% of the families in absolute poverty, with an absolute poverty rate of 21.2%, while those who live in their own dwellings have a rate of 4.8%. Absolute poverty values for both renting and owning families increase from 2021, when the proportion was 19.1% for families living in rented''to self-regulate while making the political choice for Italy to abandon a public housing policy aimed at increasing the number of social housing units with social rents at social prices in favor of a subsidy policy. Which has so far proved unsuccessful.

Yes, today's nearly one million families living in rent and absolute poverty is an accurate reflection of the failure of liberal ideology to elicit a collective admission of guilt from both the left and the right.''which should shake the foundations of Palazzo Chigi, but we are seeing on national TV channels a scenario with a prime minister that shows a growing country,' said the young national secretary of the Tenants Association, Silvia Paoluzzi.

The current government is extremizing liberal policies and making social exclusion its mission, but we do not forget the arrogant looks that ministers, deputies, mayors, municipal and regional councillors threw at us when we said that the public policy of selling public housing units in exchange for subsidies with a delay of two years has a short-term effect, and the need to build more public housing units without using land''plots or with their acquisition. We were not modern to them. Absolute poverty and evictions are what is considered modern.
