Which European Country Has No Guaranteed Minimum Income?

You guessed it: Greece.

Despite the endless (& reckless) spending, Greece's governments have ignored the issue -- nay, Greece's present "left-wing humanistic" government has swepted it off the table.

Indeed, Greece's Syriza party politicians effectively placed the matter in the circular file; for good, they hope.

GREECE'S GOVERNMENT VIEW OF THE COUNTRY'S POOR & UNEMPLOYED

A minister called Fotiou, even went so far as to call it "a poverty trap".
Indeed.

Ms Fotiou she does not need the aid, obviously; with a purported monthly income of EUR ~12k to spend, falling into the "minimum income" for her is a giant step backwards.

For a party that uses "humanistic crisis" as an argument in favour of "money for nothing" in its dealings with the troika (reps of Greece's lenders), it could be astonishing.

It ceases to astonish when one realises that the present party not only could not care less about Greece's poor, it also visibly doesn't bother with the future starving population: long-term unemployed,self-employed out of jobs, etc.


In this light, the fact that 25% of Greece's unemployed also do not have any medical cover probably makes the present ruling party members rejoice.
