MEP to help the poor with expenses cheque

An Italian MEP with a renowned name has announced a plan to give two hundred and fifty euros to two hundred poor families in Italy EVERY MONTH! More useful and productive than forming a 'gadfly' club and getting into punch-ups perhaps. The MEP's name - Mussolini. The report from AGI online is as follows:-

MUSSOLINI TO GIVE 'ELECTORAL REFUND' TO FAMILIES IN NEED
(AGI) - Rome, Sept 20th - "I decided to destine a huge amount of the reimbursement for my electoral expenses to Italian families", said Alternativa Sociale party leader and MEP Alessandra Mussolini at Pierluigi Diaco's "Servizio Pubblico" show on Radio 24 - Il Sole 24 Ore. "For five years", said the former Alleanza Nazionale party member, "i.e. for the whole duration of my office at the European parliament, I will personally give out a 250 euro net cheque each month to some 200 Italian families struggling against poverty. I will set up a foundation called "The Italian family" as well as an effective and efficient commission, free from bureaucratic burdens, that will be in charge of selecting these families. I guarantee it will only be Italian families, and mostly those with young or handicapped children. We will also privilege single mothers who had to interrupt their pregnancy due to economic hardship. We will take into account both married couples and cohabitating couples". The initiative will be launched in October, as confirmed by Mrs Mussolini herself, who added: "I don't care whether my party will face difficulties arising from lack of revenues. Sure, we're not financed by Soros as is the case with the Radical party, but people are strained and have been taken to extremes by poverty. If only parties began refunding the money they took away from citizens to finance their political campaigns, this would be a revolutionary move, and a positive one obviously".
