The latest confirmation of the social unrest that is marking dangerously our country are the data on the widespread poverty yesterday by Istat. thrilling numbers, never so high for ten years now, that tell the reality in 2015 of 4.598 million of Italians in extreme conditions of absolute poverty, the highest value since 2005, provided that relates 1,582,000 residents families, 6 , 1% of the total. With young people in poverty tripled in the great crisis darkness are 1 million: 1 boy of 10 lives (so to speak) in absolute distress.
