However, the reasons mentioned above can only become reality if the idea of an unconditional basic income (UBI) is implemented in a humane way.
Neo-liberal ideas of a UBI – which are far too low in terms of the sum, or which prescribe conditions such as a fixed residence and all models which would only be paid out as a substitute and are not additive – should rather be forgotten immediately.
As these are contrary to the idea of freedom of the unconditional basic income and human rights.
