Before the committee, the former prime minister defended the actions of his ‘red-and-yellow’ government, amidst dramatic twists and ‘unpublished’ documents concerning JC Electronics, owned by Dario Bianchi – an entrepreneur with close ties to FdI who received 100 million from the Meloni government following a dispute over face masks

In the Chamber of Deputies, the former prime minister takes centre stage. He speaks on the NEC and then on Delmastro’s chat messages. Schlein follows suit: on the day of the joint resolution, she steps aside. And once again, the reformists are left behind 

The Council of Ministers has approved a new discount on diesel and new recruitment for border operations. “A 245 million measure – we’ve made cuts to the ministries. They won’t be happy,” admits Giorgetti. Meloni: “It’s a complex phase; let’s try to do our bit.” 

“What happened in Ceuta is clearly an organised exodus aimed at putting pressure on the government in Madrid,” says the former Speaker of the Chamber of Deputies and magistrate. On the subject of security: “On an issue such as this, it would be good if the majority and the opposition could find some common ground.”

The former minister has spoken out against the “crisis responses” of the government and the EU. “Suspending the treaty could lead to outcomes contrary to those hoped for. What is needed now is a genuine pact between the EU and Africa, one that does not leave us vulnerable to blackmail by individual countries and criminal organisations, as happened in Morocco”

The governor of Lazio says he feels “offended and hurt, as a native of Lazio”. He is calling for “clarity for the future”. And Storace, a long-standing figure on the right, warns the majority: “If, on top of the trouble Lotito is causing, they want a wealth tax, they can do whatever they like”
