I say this because I believe that the discussion that is developing is completely independent of the data emerging from the report. Either we dispute this report or we start from here.

I think that, also given the data in this report, we should focus on the perspectives concerning in particular the checks of the new generations. citizenship income, I believe that the debate on pensions must be freed from specious approaches, remaining on the merits of the issues “.
