MELONI OPENS THE G7: “CONCRETE RESULTS FROM THE COMPARISON”

“Enhance what unites us and strengthen our collaboration”. But also “know how to dialogue with everyone” because “the G7 is not a fortress closed in on itself that must defend itself from someone”. These are the objectives of the Italian presidency of the G7, illustrated by Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni in her opening speech in Borgo Egnazia. From US President Joe Biden to Frenchman Emmanuel Macron, the world’s greats were welcomed this morning by the Prime Minister. “I am certain – says Meloni -. that in these two days we will be able to carry out a discussion that will be able to deliver concrete and measurable results.”

The final vote is expected next Tuesday. Oppositions on a war footing: during the proceedings in the chamber they first waved tricolor sheets, then occupied the government seats. Finally, first the Cinquestelle group, then the Pd and Avs left the chamber. “If they vote for this rubbish alone”, said the five-star deputy group leader, Alessandra Maiorino. For Francesco Boccia, president of the Democratic Party senators, “the forcing implemented by the majority is unacceptable”.

CLASHES IN PARLIAMENT, OPPOSITIONS ANNOUNCE DEMONSTRATION

The case of the brawl between the benches of the Chamber during the examination of the autonomy bill continues to take center stage in Parliament. There are 12 deputies involved in various capacities summoned by President Lorenzo Fontana to clarify the matter. Worst of all was the five-star Leonardo Donno, who collapsed to the ground after a blow to the sternum. Meanwhile, the opposition has no intention of letting the matter drop, and have announced a joint demonstration for next Tuesday in Rome. In the square there will be Pd, 5 Star Movement, Avs and Più Europa. “We cannot accept that the country is hostage to this continuous intimidation”, they say.
