Paste fără sos pentru copiii celor care nu plătesc cantina școlară / Primarul unei localități din Italia: „Au plătit imediat. Într-o lună s-au recuperat 7.000 de euro”

A mayor in Italy has decided that children whose parents owe over 150 euros for school meals will receive pasta without sauce. This measure aims to encourage parents to settle their debts by making their children complain at home. The initiative has sparked debate, with some arguing it discriminates against vulnerable families. The mayor reported a significant reduction in unpaid debts since the policy was implemented. Families are being given options to pay in installments, and social services may investigate those who continue to default. The situation reflects ongoing issues with school meal payments in the Lombardy region.
