Carrerismo pointed out that Paradela's absence had given an opportunity to Andrés Montaño, who, as he wrote, had stood out as an attacking midfielder in two consecutive matches and scored two goals. He added that Montaño played the position with more verticality than the Argentine, attacked the central lanes, and arrived intelligently from the second line. He also stated that he provided an offensive variant that Cruz Azul needed and that, if he maintained that level, Huiqui would have to find a way to take advantage of him when Paradela returned. #CruzAzul #Fútbol #AndrésMontaño (translated)

The words of the president of Abi, Antonio Patuelli, are surprising, as he even invoking the Constitution complains that bankers are economically 'beaten'. Matteo Salvini responds to the president of the banking lobby who protested on Friday against the government's latest move to impose a 5 billion withdrawal from the "financial" system. #MatteoSalvini #BancheItaliane #LeggediBilancio (translated)

Ultimora.net reported that the new Highway Code, approved by the Council of Ministers and set to come into force on January 1, 2028, will introduce stricter rules for pedestrians. According to the site, before crossing at crosswalks, they should check that drivers have seen them and are ready to stop; they should not change direction abruptly or dash while crossing. The site also listed other prohibitions: crossing intersections diagonally, weaving between parked cars, crossing outside the crosswalks at roundabouts or in front of stopped buses and trams, popping out suddenly and crossing near curves and bumps outside built-up areas. On unlit roads outside of built-up areas, at night it would be necessary to make oneself visible with lights or reflective devices. In the absence of crosswalks, underpasses, or overpasses, or if the crosswalks were at least 100 meters away, pedestrians should give way to vehicles and cross perpendicularly. In the absence of sidewalks, they should walk against the direction of traffic, while using skates and boards on sidewalks would be prohibited. Ultimora.net added that the penalty for using a phone while crossing would be eliminated and that violations could result in fines of 25 to 160 euros. #CodicedellaStrada #SicurezzaStradale #Pedoni (translated)
