Bonifacio Castellane argued that, in a state where half of the population worked in the public sector or was part of what he called the "Gramscian parastate," it was quite plausible that the person responsible for tax collection would run for the leadership of the country. #Politica #Italia #Società (translated)

Francky Longo reported Marc Marquez's statements, in which he said he did not have any pressure problems and maintained a pace similar to fifth-seventh place throughout the weekend. He described the pole position and the victory in the Sprint Race as unexpected. Marquez added that he felt like a winner of the weekend because he had not lost points to Martin and only dropped three points to Bezzecchi. He claimed that the Aprilias had been very competitive in Holland and Silverstone and that Mandalika was the circuit least suited to his bike and riding style. Despite finishing ten seconds behind the winner, he noted that the weekend had earned him 22 points, the same as Martin, while Bezzecchi had scored 25. He said he was satisfied and was following "El Plan." #MotoGP #MotoGP #MarcMarquez #Motorsport (translated)

"We have reached barbarism, animality: we shoot a human being as if it were a public spectacle. We have gone back ninety years, to the last time a man was hanged in public in the United States. It is truly shameful." With these words, Vincenzo De Luca, in his usual weekly Facebook live address, comments on the decision announced by U.S. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, whom he referred to as "the slicked-back one." What is happening in the United States with the current ruling group at the helm of the country is pushing the world towards levels of barbarism and loss of fundamental human values that leave us truly shocked." The mayor of Salerno describes the announcement as a return to practices that the United States had abandoned for almost a century, and harshly criticizes the Trump administration: "What is happening in the United States with the current ruling group at the helm of the country is pushing the world towards levels of barbarism and loss of fundamental human values that leave us truly shocked." We will have a political season that will record the further fragmentation of the political landscape of our country. Every election campaign eve sees the birth of new lists, new groupings, all that series of nonsense and hypocrisies that serve simply one purpose: to guarantee a candidacy to as many people as possible – he continues – I happened to particularly observe "Civic Project." I called it "Civic Opportunism": it is a way to try to create spaces for candidacy. That’s all." De Luca then comments on the eve of the Italian electoral season, targeting the political formation promoted by Alessandro Onorato, which continues to gather support even in Campania, including from regional councilors so far close to the former president of the Campania Region: "We will have a political season that will record the further fragmentation of the political landscape of our country. I have been repeating for decades that there is a condition of total anomaly in Italy. When you need to make political choices on major issues (healthcare, transportation, taxation, justice, foreign policy), you can have two different positions, three, four, five hypotheses for solving problems or lines on which to position yourself to tackle the issues. But you can’t have twenty lines of economic policy, twenty healthcare policies, twenty transportation policies." They pretend to contribute to the governance of the country, but in reality, they are great charades and initiatives of opportunism that simply serve to open spaces for the candidacies of a few characters in search of an author." #VincenzoDeLuca #Elezioni #PoliticaUSA (translated)

Volodymyr Zelensky wrote that, after the lifting of sanctions on diesel exports, Russia had hit residential buildings in Zaporizhzhia with five guided airstrikes. He reported that the casualties were 12, including three children, and that during the night 13 Ukrainian regions had been attacked, with damage to residential buildings, infrastructure, and railway lines. Zelensky added that, in his view, Russia interpreted any easing of pressure as a signal that it could continue the war and the bombings on cities. He argued that Moscow needed to understand the necessity of ending the conflict and to incur losses for that to happen. #Ucraina #Russia #Guerra (translated)

Raffaele Ceresa wrote that lawyer Paniz, Berlusconi's parliamentarian for three legislatures, was once again leading the protest of those who were asking for the revaluation of pensions based on inflation. He added that, while salaries were not being revalued, 300 deputies also wanted interest. https://t.co/sMhRoNzVUL #politica #vitalizi #parlamento (translated)

Rossano Sasso wrote that lifting sanctions on Russia in Italy and Europe would, in his view, lower fuel and energy costs, ease the cost of living and revive the economy. He said Donald Trump was acting in the interests of US citizens rather than Volodymyr Zelensky and his allies. Sasso called for ending the sanctions, stopping Italian funding for Zelensky and no longer following what he described as Ursula von der Leyen’s impositions. He argued that Italians would benefit and urged the country’s leaders to act with courage and patriotism. #Italia #Europa #Sanzioni

Marco Setaccioli claimed that the exchanges of courtesy between Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin would not stop the Ukrainian sanctions. He pointed to the fire at the oil terminal in Novoshakhtinsk, Rostov, as the first consequence of the Trump-Putin agreement on diesel. He also reported that Russian-guided bombs had struck a building in Zaporizhzhia, causing at least 4 fatalities and several injuries; according to his post, at least one person might still be under the rubble. In describing the leaders, Setaccioli had used offensive expressions. #Ucraina #Russia #Sanzioni (translated)

Federico Albano wrote that Ferrari had been very quick with the medium tires, but in SQ3 they lost the necessary tenths to fight for pole when it was crucial to extract the maximum from the tires and especially from the engine. In his view, the car was competitive in various phases and direction changes, but it lost speed on the straights due to aerodynamic drag and low power. He added that the gap to Mercedes and Red Bull increased on the straights and decreased in parts of the mixed sections. Albano called Leclerc's lap “super” and wrote that Hamilton had risked everything in SQ3 but had made several mistakes. Until that moment, according to him, Lewis seemed to have an even better pace than Charles, but the Monegasque finished with two very strong laps. The author attributed pole to Verstappen, noting it had yet to be confirmed, and described Red Bull as the strongest team at the moment. According to his analysis, the car was very fast on the straights, stable in the mixed sections, and capable of limiting losses in slow corners. Verstappen had gained 0.3 seconds on Leclerc already at the end of the first sector, all on the straights, Albano wrote. In his opinion, Red Bull had found the right setup, and the data reminded him of 2022: the car had less downforce, but Verstappen's driving style hid the effect, while speed on the straights remained decisive. Albano described Mercedes as disappointed: Russell had clocked 0.5 seconds faster than Antonelli, but the update package, which he described as extensive, costly, and awaited, was not working. He added that Kimi had also refused the new wing. According to the data he examined, the front end was no longer functioning well, exhibiting understeer in medium-speed corners and difficulty turning the car in slow corners; the increase in aerodynamic drag also hindered deployment. Albano wrote that Antonelli struggled even under braking because he no longer trusted the front end and that, despite the differences between the Singapore and Sepang tracks, what he had seen so far reminded him of the same script. According to Albano, McLaren was not far off but had disappointed in terms of track characteristics and seemed to struggle with a lack of grip, especially when maximum performance was needed. He noted that Ferrari and McLaren, on one side, and Red Bull and Mercedes, on the other, were developing different concepts that ended up producing similar characteristics, except for the Mercedes updates, which in his view were not working. Finally, Albano wrote that the sprint would show whether those cars would be able to create overtaking opportunities or if the race would turn into a train, awaiting the decisive qualifying for Sunday. #Formula1 #SingaporeGP #Motorsport (translated)
