"The contracts of the navigators expired on October 31 cannot be extended." The note from the Ministry of Labor, led by the Sardinian Marina Calderone, leaves no room for doubt , putting an end to the discordant rumors about the future of the figures wanted by the 5 Star Movement to manage the active part of the Citizenship Income The one that worked less: not the subsidy, but the creation of a system of procurement of work for the recipients.

The communication of a few lines affects a thousand navigators throughout Italy. Fifty-one are in Sardinia. They had hoped for a renewal until December 31st. The Region was ready, but the dicastery said no: "Any further use of them would require the approval of a specific rule, not being studied by the ministry", they write from Palazzo Balestra.

The topic does not leave indifferent Alessandra Zedda, regional councilor for labor: "In recent days we had a meeting with the trade unions that represent the navigators", she says, "and we had expressed our willingness to renew contracts until 31 December".

There were resources, and also a role to be attributed in the employment centers: "They are useful professionals", adds Zedda, "but we do not have the possibility of stabilizing them: for the positions in which they should be assigned we have a competition in act, we must draw from those lists ". In short: hands tied, in Sardinia, after the decision taken in Rome.

The councilor underlines a paradox: “The government that wanted the citizenship income introduced the state precariousness, allowing only short-term contract renewals. And those who had to find work for others had an unstable place. An absurd situation. They should be the ministry and Anpal ”, he concludes,“ to deal with workers who, after all, had passed a selection ”.
