Virna reported that Michele Silenzi, director of Liberilibri, had criticized Lepore's decision to introduce the 30 km/h limit, calling it a paranoid measure linked to the environmental policies widespread in Europe. Silenzi also argued that Lepore had imposed fines on those who barbecued under the pretext of pollution. Regarding the case of Fakir, he spoke of radical fanaticism and accused Lepore of having called for a demonstration as if the police had voluntarily killed Fakir. #QuartaRepubblica #Green #Ambiente #Politica (translated)

Marco Setaccioli argued that Giuseppe Conte was using an increasingly studied rhetorical scheme to attract conspiracy theorists, opponents of the Euro-Atlantic axis, and pacifists. In his opinion, the speech delivered the day before at a disarmament event organized by CGIL in Sesto Fiorentino, where figures Setaccioli described as close to Russia were present, attributed the responsibility for the war to the choices of the United States, the United Kingdom, and European countries, downplaying the Russian responsibility. According to Setaccioli, Conte also accused the West of prolonging the conflict by aiming for an impossible military victory, without mentioning Russia's attempt to erase Ukraine. The author stated that this stance created a moral equivalence between the aggressor and the victim and portrayed Ukrainians as lacking autonomy. He also contested the reference to reconstruction, arguing that without weapons to defend Ukrainian cities and borders, there would be no country left to rebuild. Setaccioli described the appeal to international law as contradictory because, in his view, Conte was calling for the cessation of arms shipments without explaining how this was compatible with Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity. He added that the speech did not indicate other means to stop the war, nor did it request commitments from Russia. Finally, Setaccioli maintained that this position was not progressive and compared Conte and Roberto Vannacci to those, in his view, who would have ceded the Sudetenland in 1938. He asked whether Elly Schlein believed that legitimizing the occupation in exchange for cheaper gas, disarming Ukraine, and accepting an order dominated by great powers could be reconciled with the Democratic Party. #Disarmo #Ucraina #Politica (translated)

Simone Silvan commented on an article by Marco Travaglio published in Il Fatto Quotidiano on October 3, 2026, contesting Marina B.'s reaction to the statements made by Giuseppe Graviano. According to Silvan, the former boss of Porta Nuova, convicted for the massacres, had stated at the Baiardo trial that his grandfather was among the financiers of the first companies of Silvio Berlusconi and had invested 5 billion lire out of the 20 collected. Silvan reported that Marina B. had denounced a "reversed justice" and accused Graviano of having relaunched accusations without a counterargument. Silvan replied that the man was responding to the questions of prosecutors and lawyers and argued that Berlusconi had had years to clarify the origins of the capital. In the post, Silvan also recalled the ruling of the Court of Cassation that had sentenced Marcello Dell'Utri to 7 years for mafia. According to Silvan's reports, the ruling attributed to him a role in the protection pact of 1974 between mafia representatives and Berlusconi and in maintaining payments at least until 1992. Silvan also recalled Vittorio Mangano, who, he wrote, had lived in the villa in Arcore and accompanied Marina and Pier Silvio to school. #Giustizia #Mafia #Politica (translated)
