“Emergency Minimum Income” To Avoid Social Crisis From Pandemic Is Gaining Ground In Europe And The US

The Vice-President of the European Central Bank (ECB) and former Spanish Economy Minister Luis de Guindos has recently defended the implementation of a “minimum emergency income” during the coronavirus crisis. “Let us all take care of the basic needs of the most vulnerable population,” he said. On the other side of the Atlantic, the US Senate is planning to send cheques for $1,200 (1,125 euros) to citizens with an annual gross income of $75,000 (70,000 euros) or less.
