Pelù sparked ire by saying, „We don‘t want 80 euros in alms. We want work“ at a traditional May 1 concert in Rome.
Pelù was making reference to Italian Premier Matteo Renzi‘s signature 80-euro-a-month bonus for 10 million low earners, which was part of a tax-cut measure approved earlier this month.
Renzi is the head of the PD.
