ROCCELLA CONTESTATA AT THE STATES GENERAL OF NATALITA
Dispute for the Minister of the Family Eugenia Roccella at the General States of Birth. Roccella was booed by a group of male and female students who shouted “I decide on my body”. After an attempt at dialogue, the protest continued and the minister decided to abandon the event. “This is real censorship – he said – other than fascism”. Representatives of the highest institutions express solidarity with her. “Silence is not civil”, underlines Sergio Mattarella in a phone call to the minister. Giorgia Meloni speaks of an “ignoble spectacle”, inviting “all political forces” to “say enough” to these protests.
TERRORISM. COMMEMORATION WITH ROLLING ROLLER AND MELONS
Commemoration of the victims of terrorism today in the Senate, in the presence of the President of the Republic, Sergio Mattarella who also placed a wreath of flowers under the plaque in honor of Aldo Moro in via Caetani in Rome, 46 years after his death. The President of the Senate Ignazio La Russa underlines “the importance of continuing the work of declassifying the documents of the commissions of inquiry which have investigated many tragic pages of our past to remove any remaining shadows”. For the President of the Chamber Lorenzo Fontana, “the country’s united reaction to the dark plan aimed at undermining the democratic order” must be remembered. For her part, the prime minister invites us not to forget the “innocent victims, those who sacrificed their lives for our freedom. We owe it to Italy and the values we love”, concludes Meloni.
FENTANYL. GOVERNMENT PLAN TO STOP THE SPREAD
The Fentanyl phenomenon in Italy seems to be under control, with the government keeping its attention high to stamp it out before it takes hold. Almost two months after the national prevention plan against this synthetic drug, presented on March 12, the executive takes stock of the situation with Undersecretary Alfredo Mantovano and the Minister of Foreign Affairs Antonio Tajani and implements an information campaign. For Mantovano “the phenomenon in Italy does not have the devastating consequences seen in the United States but it still exists”. According to the deputy prime minister, the spread of this analgesic must be “suppressed” “before the numbers increase”. A series of commercials and an information campaign will start from 10 June, in which, explains Tajani, “Italian embassies, consulates and schools abroad will be involved”.
