Yesterday @GuidoCrosetto rightly complained about the lack of effective mechanisms against the hybrid and cognitive warfare that Russia has undertaken against us. @Azione_it presented a proposal for a democratic shield over a year ago that has not received any responses. But the thing (translated)

The problem with all populists is that when they arrive in government, they fail to keep the promises they made. And so the groundwork is laid for the next populist. It happened with the 5 Star Movement. Then Salvini. Today it's Vannacci, tomorrow it will happen again. It's a (translated)

We will vote against this electoral law that keeps alive a thirty-year-old scheme: coalitions made to defeat the opponent, not to govern. The result is well known: every electoral cycle produces a populism more extreme than the previous one. (translated)

#Trump has been, is, and will always be an asset of #Putin. Kushner is his business extension, with business/political ties all over the world. Even in Italy. Also in Italian politics. If democracies do not learn to protect themselves from conflicts of interest, they will die. (translated)

We must be clear about two facts regarding birth rates. On one hand, women and men are choosing to have children at an increasingly older age, for social and cultural reasons. On the other hand, deciding to start a family has become enormously more expensive compared to the past. (translated)

#Conte has officially declared that, regardless of the outcome of the primaries, the M5S will not sign a program that provides military support to Ukraine. I would say it is time for reformists both inside and outside the PD to acknowledge that this is the situation. Decide if it is worth it. (translated)

But we joke about the war as if we were in front of a little drink talking about football. Come on #Barbero, keep going between one laughter and another, while the Ukrainians die defending their freedom. (translated)

A long series of lies and pro-Russian propaganda. 1) Ukrainians defend their freedom not for Biden or Johnson but for themselves; 2) since 2022 the situation on the ground is that Ukraine has reclaimed half of the territories invaded by the Russians; 3) Zelensky has been proposing a ceasefire for a year. (translated)

In 1941, while Europe was on fire and democracies seemed defeated, men in confinement had the courage to imagine a free and united Europe. They did not wait for better times. They looked destruction in the eye and chose the future nonetheless. Today it is up to us. (translated)

Europe has saved us from the major crises of this century: Mario Draghi's "whatever it takes" during the sovereign debt crisis of 2011; the PNRR and the SAFE plan during the pandemic crisis; support for Ukraine after the Russian invasion. (translated)

Emma Bonino has passed away, the last great protagonist of the civil battles that led to the modernization of this country. A piece of Italian and European political history is leaving us. On behalf of myself and @Azione_it, I express our closeness to her political community. (translated)

The price of raw materials is at a record high for 18 years, with costs reaching unsustainable levels. Energy is up to €350/MWh. The lowest incomes risk facing 10% inflation. A disguised tax on the backs of Italians. (translated)

"Don't think that everyone is convinced that there is a liberation war or resistance being waged there. There are interests, there are sectors. The discussion took place in Washington, at NATO headquarters, in London. The decision was a bet on Ukraine's victory over Russia." (translated)

Oil is driving an increase in the prices of all commodities that will spill over into inflation. As always happens, the most affected will be low to middle-income fixed wage workers. This must be the obsession of the political forces. @Azione_it has made proposals. (translated)

New records for oil and electricity. I remember that @Azione_it has made specific proposals to address both problems: 1) shifting part of the excise duties from fuels to cigarettes, spirits, and gambling. 2) putting concessions out to tender. (translated)

The perception of Europeans corresponds to reality. We need a stronger Europe. This is not happening due to inadequate leadership. If this does not change, European decline is inevitable. For this reason, @Azione_it will place the construction of... (translated)

We are completely in favor of stopping the imports of products from Israeli settlers in the West Bank and sanctioning those who commit violence and illegal acts. The initiative led by twelve countries is righteous and it is inexplicable that the Italian government does not support it. (translated)

What else needs to happen to convince us that we are facing an implosion of Western Civilization? Can we really think of turning a blind eye and talking about primaries or electoral law? There is a serious sleepwalking of both the right and the left to which (translated)

There is a market built just to rip you off. Behind your back while no one does anything. And a manipulated market is not a market: it’s a scam! (translated)

The so-called "black tide" that threatens liberal and democratic European civilization originates from deep-rooted causes that have accumulated over time. We must understand them if we want to preserve Europe and freedom. (translated)
