Spain to implement universal basic income in response to coronavirus — and the change will be permanent

Spain is responding to the coronavirus crisis with a plan to launch a universal basic income program in the near future, Forbes reported, but the program isn't just for the pandemic — it will become permanent, Spain's Economy Minister Nadia Calvino said.

What's the story? Spain, like other nations whose economies have been devastated by the coronavirus-related shutdowns, passed a stimulus package to ease the disruption. Measures include pausing all mortgage payments and giving money to businesses that are struggling.

The next step is a universal basic income that Calvino said is a direct response to the coronavirus emergency, but which will also remain after COVID-19 has passed......

How awful is journalism?

No mention of "Spain's" the currency or how much per period.

Jumps from Spain, the title of the story,

to Calif. Gov. Newsome, and to So Carolina

No mention of other places it is now in use

No mention of the process to implement it for Spain

No mention of how it would integrate wiithin EU, as Spain is a member sharing the Ruro currency

FYI from the inception, the EU (Formerly European Common Market) was opposed by many because they felt the richer north-central powers (France, Germany, Holland) would subsidize the poorer, Southern nation members (Italy, Spain, Greece etc.

Therefore I have doubts Spain can use the common currency Euro without approval of the member states

In fact some voices state the Virus might break up the EU,  because the purposes have grown to betoo much.

Schengen makes open borders, for muslim migrants and exotic communicable diseases
