Basic income is hot & happening here. Just today, a few big municipalities voted to deregulate social benefits - a move against the newly introduced Participation Law, which introduced more rules and regulations to social benefits. A lot of cities are developing plans for basic income experiments, but I don't think any one of them has started giving money away yet. It's a popular idea here in no small part because the organization that controls and regulates social benefits is so awfully inefficient at getting people to work again.
