As reported by Il Foglio, the journalist announced yesterday that he was stepping down from his role as director of Chora Media and divesting his shares in the company to pursue a ‘new, non-editorial path’. Calenda and Picierno are explicitly calling for this: ‘Support him without a leadership contest’. But Majorino and others are also in the running. What will Schlein do?

The PD and M5S have tabled proposals to offer public funding to women under 38 who wish to undergo treatment to increase their chances of having children. Renzi has taken up the proposal and suggested allocating 100 million in the Budget Bill. Forza Italia and the League are open to the idea, but Giorgia Meloni’s party has put the brakes on: “Children should be had whilst young; let’s use the resources to help young couples create the conditions to have children.”

“The problem lies with the countries of origin; the centres would fill up straight away,” says the former police chief. “Human trafficking must be combated with the utmost commitment, but there is no invasion. It’s Vannacci knocking on the door.”

Former Chief of Police Franco Gabrielli, interviewed on La 7, criticised the use of the term even in legislation: “It’s as if, back in the 1970s, we’d introduced anti-‘terroni’ laws. It means ‘Moroccan mosquito’.” But the president of the Accademia della Crusca, D’Achille, puts the brakes on: “The etymology is not actually certain, but there is no doubt that it is a word with negative connotations.”
