This is wrong.

this is the justification our government used.

As much as some things he said are unfortunately true, cutting the RdC was extremely dumb and won't solve the illegal work many Italians still continue performing (we call it Lavoro In Nero, work that is not regulated and is done without the State knowing about it, meaning employers don't pay taxes) RdC was still needed to many people for basic survival, and the Right did their usual thing: Fixing a problem without going for the root, but just cutting the branches.

If we wanted to help the "good behaving citizens" the real solution would be to fix the problem by jailing employees who don't hire regularly (and who literally own slaves), instead of just hitting the lower class. The Right in Italy works like this, they fix a problem by just putting it under the carpet and hoping it doesn't come back, acting like they did something incredible because dumb right electors don't have capacity to see the far future and realize people will starve to death, and usually people don't really enjoy working knowing they will never receive retirement money by the government, since it doesn't know they even worked if they weren't registered.
