The Prime Minister at the Gioventù Nazionale rally in Rome: “A regulation on the maximum number of foreign pupils per class will be introduced in the Council of Ministers.” On the PD secretary: “Say something true when you criticise us; I’ll pass it to you under the table.” And on the car tax exemption: “But how dare those who botched the Superbonus have the nerve to criticise us?”

The secretary of the Young Democrats had said: “If these right-wing parties lead us into an armed conflict, you go ahead. Because we will organise the deserters.” According to Fabio Roscani, president of Gioventù Nazionale: “On Ukraine, the PD is trying to walk a tightrope; we stand with Kyiv, no ifs, no buts.”
