“All decisions are open to debate and, with the benefit of hindsight, can all be judged differently,” says Casini regarding the demonstration organised by Mayor Matteo Lepore, “but reality tells us that it is not normal for a person to die the way Fakir did.” Advice for the PD: “Leaving the right-wing parties with a monopoly on security is absurd and self-defeating; at the same time, Italy cannot become the Wild West just to go after Vannacci.”

The Fn group presents a bill tailored to Mario Roggero’s case. Salvini is once again attacking Forza Italia (“let them explain to Italians why they oppose self-defence”). Meanwhile, the general’s loyalists are seeking support from certain influencers who are “friends” of Salvini

The MEP from Avs was found guilty by the Milan Labour Court of giving notice of early termination of her contract without just cause

The leader of Italia Viva and the general have been trading barbs and jibes on social media for days. A rivalry played out with gloved fists, between sprints and strokes in the water. But they’re lucky that Beppe Grillo isn’t competing against them. The Under-Secretary for Relations with Parliament, swimmer and president of the Italian Swimming Federation (FIN), Barelli, told "Il Foglio": “My federation will provide lifeguards free of charge, because I really do fear there will be a need for them.”

The Coordinator of the Task Force for the Implementation of the Plan has announced the start of the conversion of approximately 269 million euros of bilateral credits into development projects: “It is clear that the Plan cannot move forward and grow solely within Italy: it must become international”

“We’d been working on it for four months,” says the Minister for the Economy regarding the appointment (first reported by *Il Foglio*) of the Italian to the European Securities and Markets Authority

The Montecitorio Executive Committee has rejected the Rome Public Prosecutor’s Office’s request to obtain the conversations between the FdI MP and the owner of ‘Bisteccherie d’Italia’. However, the final decision will rest with the Chamber of Deputies. The Five Star Movement protests: “Executive committees have been turned into a safe haven for right-wing politicians”

“It was clear that the decision by the mayor of Bologna would have provided an excellent pretext for the usual suspects from the social centres and the protest movement to run the city ragged,” says the Prime Minister. On the Roggero case: “There is a question of proportionality regarding the penalties imposed.” Preferences? “I haven’t changed my mind.”

The Prime Minister calls for “loyalty” and insists on her preferences, against the wishes of the Forza Italia Deputy Prime Minister (who relents) and the Berlusconis. The League warns: “Either we give in, or Meloni will go to the polls on her own. Or with Vannacci.”
