From ‘no to war’ (and Putin?) to ‘sacrosanct rights’ (and Iranian women?). How to refute the ‘indignados’ who are right at home not only in TV armchairs but also amidst the many shades of charlatanism offered up daily by moralists who sell their views by the kilo. Television and alarm bells

The leader of the Five Star Movement, speaking on the ‘one is worth one’ principle, brings up rearmament: “‘One is worth one’ means that what counts are the citizens who say ‘enough’ to this military escalation”.

The secretary responds to the “fanciful speculations” of recent days: “We’ll be ready as early as tomorrow. The programme is being drawn up with the whole coalition.” And she replies to Conte and his allies: “We are the leading party because we’ve earned it. Generous, yes; naive, no.” But she sidesteps the issue of Ukraine. The report was approved unanimously, but the reformists abstained.

The former Chief of Police told Corriere: “I have decided to support the Più Uno project without asking for any roles or guarantees”.
