Abstract

The essay analyzes a particular way of discrimination that the legal system carries out with regard to the lack of citizenship: regular foreign workers are required to comply with tax duty and the obligation to pay contributions, but the services they can access in the exercise of various rights are in many cases less extensive than those reserved for citizens. The paradox that is highlighted is that of a by now decisive contribution of non-EU workers to the taxation of the Republic. There is no corresponding fair recognition of social rights, especially in the broad sphere of social security rights. Citizens are increasingly benefiting from this significant contribution to the national welfare system.
