Cabinet Moves to Overhaul Citizen's Income Amid Political Skepticism

The Federal Cabinet has taken a significant step by approving a draft law aimed at reforming the citizen's income system. This new legislation proposes replacing the existing citizen's income with a stricter basic security model.

Key changes include increased pressure on recipients, with harsher penalties for missed appointments and potential loss of housing cost coverage. Despite intentions to streamline expenses, the reform is not expected to achieve significant savings and may even lead to higher costs.

Additionally, there are provisions intended to protect individuals with mental health issues. This transformation has stirred renewed skepticism among political factions, indicating that further debates and discussions are imminent.
