The Democratic Party senator criticized the secretary of Rifondazione Comunista: “We’re doing you a favour by providing a senator to help you collect signatures following the approval of the new electoral law, and you go and post two tweets like that. The apology? The bare minimum.” Malpezzi and Zampa criticized Acerbo: “Schlein must put an end to this spectacle.”

“The Democratic Party is and will remain this thing here – perhaps a bit like Pedro, a bit unsexy: the teetotalling friend who takes you home after a wild night out at the disco,” says the Democratic Party senator

The PD senator criticises the M5S’s stance and the negotiator’s rhetoric: “War is already in Europe”. He points to Sweden as a model regarding NATO, rearmament and support for Kyiv

The leader of the M5S has written a manifesto-style letter on ‘woke’ culture and the left. He is setting out his position ahead of the September primaries, with the evergreen ‘no’ to rearmament. Malpezzi: ‘Use it to talk about inequalities’. Sensi: ‘They jump on the debate of the moment and attack the PD’. Quartapelle: ‘Second thoughts on “woke”? I preferred the one on the Superbonus’.

The PD, AVS and M5S have tabled a joint motion to be put to the vote during Minister Giorgetti’s statement on the budgetary deviation for defence and energy expenditure: the ‘no arms’ stance is adopted and the reformists protest. The majority, however, amends the text on the SAFE: funding military expenditure becomes a possibility and, should it be utilised, it is envisaged that it will also be used for ‘security’. The Chamber will vote only on the majority resolution

Ukraine, the overture to Calenda, the conditions set for allies in the broad coalition. Reactions from Quartapelle, Gori and Sensi to the Democratic Party secretary’s remarks
