Elly Schlein and Giuseppe Conte also spoke during the explanation of vote. Following the majority’s spectacular failure this summer, the bill is back in the Chamber of Deputies for final approval. In the Senate, the preferential voting mechanism that persuaded the rebels to vote against the bill in July has been reintroduced. Things are expected to go differently this time, but with a secret ballot, the alert remains high nonetheless.

The sociologist and director of the Esade Centre for Economic Policy: “We need measures that, in the long term, will enable new homes to be built and, in the short term, will encourage existing properties to enter the rental market. The decrees do not achieve this.”

It is more constructive to protest over rents and classrooms than to chant from the river to the sea. However, care must be taken not to pursue anti-capitalist battles that cast private individuals and their investments as part of the problem rather than part of the solution.

The final word on Vannacci: “He’s just like Conte and we won’t be joining forces with him”. The election date, the dream of a conservative in the Quirinale: “Giorgia isn’t the most suitable candidate at the moment”. Ranucci, the RAI and the defence of Ukraine: “It’s a matter of national interest”

Armed men, migrants, tunnels and Russian soldiers. Since 2021, Lukashenko has been preparing for war with the Kremlin 

If a motion is passed by tacit consent, or if an institutional document calls for a demonstration, it is taken for granted that this is not a stance being taken but a fundamental truth. A partisan argument is transformed into a universal premise. Anyone who disagrees must raise their hand and declare themselves a dissenter. 

The Pope is summoning cardinals, bishops and, above all, families to Rome. This is not about reopening a rift that has never fully healed, but about taking stock of the situation a decade on. With an invitation to reflect on the document as a whole, not just on a footnote

“Would my double surname prevent me from going out to speak to people in working-class neighbourhoods? That’s a truly short-sighted remark. Calabresi and Majorino? Two sides of the same coin.” says the Forza Italia mayoral candidate.

We must continue to resist the siren calls for illiberal interventionism on housing issues coming from Madrid, Berlin and Brussels – which history has shown to be a failure – and press on along the path of pragmatism and common sense

The (suspended) arrest warrant against Puigdemont and a region where the political fate of the (Spanish) nation could once again be decided

The President of the Senate says: “We are considering amendments.” The former Prime Minister immediately distances himself: “The bill is a tool of repression. I respect Segre, but our position is firm.” Among the Democrats, however, various views are emerging: for many, “it’s a bluff”. But Fassino says: “We could achieve a broad majority.” And Guerini is trying to negotiate.

“In elected assemblies, representation would be best ensured by purely proportional systems. However, corrective measures may be introduced, such as majority bonuses, which must not, however, alter representation any more than is necessary: that would mean making votes unequal,” says the former president of the Constitutional Court

Since March, after coming out in favour of the ‘Yes’ vote in the referendum on the justice system, the Deputy Speaker of the Chamber of Deputies has been the victim of an exceptionally severe and unusual media witch-hunt: he is not under investigation, but his reputation is being destroyed on the basis of criminally irrelevant documents leaked from an investigation conducted by Roman public prosecutors and an old Milanese inquiry

For 2026, the government is forecasting a deficit at the upper limit of European rules (2.925 per cent). The use of the VAT windfall (170 million) to fund the diesel discount could be the straw that breaks the camel’s back, pushing the deficit back up to 3.1 per cent 

When over forty per cent of voters support parties outside the political centre, it is hardly possible to exclude them from government responsibilities. Yet a creeping normalisation of the language and behaviour of extremists, on both the right and the left, is taking place. This is evident in the reversal of responsibilities following 7 October

 Xi Jinping’s country has a colossal surplus of production capacity, the result of subsidised investment aimed at boosting the annual GDP growth figure, but demand is insufficient and the domestic market is contracting
