Based on our calculations, this would cost an estimated 15.5 billion euros. Especially considering that the European Youth Fund is only approximately 3.7 million. This is a massive jump nor is it realistic. Furthermore, whilst the resolutions acknowledges differences in wealth in for example, a minimum wage, it does not do so here. 2.000 euros for youth in the Netherlands is completely different from youth in Italy. In order to keep the resolution realistic, considering all other clauses are pragmatic, we would call for this clause to be scrapped.
A subsidiary reason is also to keep this manifesto relevant beyond the COVID-era.
