Luigi Marattin called the incident that occurred in Reggio Emilia offensive and ridiculous, claiming that some teachers and educators from American Jewish schools visiting to study the local educational model were pressured by pro-Palestinian activists to sign a statement against the Israeli occupation in Gaza. He stated that Reggio Emilia was a world excellence in early childhood education and would remain so despite the incident. Marattin contested the association between Jewish and Israeli identity, recalling that, according to what he wrote, 20% of the Israeli population is Muslim and enjoys the same rights and duties of citizenship. He argued that confusing the two identities was a form of religious discrimination. He also questioned why, if the intent was to reaffirm the values of peace and tolerance of the Reggio model, Muslim, Turkish, or American visitors had not been asked to dissociate themselves from the actions or policies of their respective governments. Marattin asked if anyone had ever been asked to condemn the terrorist attack of October 7, which he called criminal, and criticized those who referred to it as resistance during demonstrations in various Italian cities over the weekend, referring to the participants with a pejorative term. Finally, he stated that he was left speechless by the defense of the incident by prominent national figures of the center-left. #ReggioEmilia #Scuola #Educazione (translated)

Maddalena Loy had recalled a phrase attributed to Goebbels about the repetition of lies and had defined the accusation from the opposition that the Meloni government had cut funding for public health as false. Loy had contested the data from the Gimbe Foundation, led by Nino Cartabellotta, on the 18.8 billion euros of “invisible cuts.” According to her reconstruction, the figure did not indicate resources taken away from hospitals but the difference compared to what would have been allocated had the ratio between the national health fund and GDP of 2022 remained unchanged. She argued that Gimbe’s headline had led publications like Repubblica to present the figure as an actual loss and called that interpretation a political attack on the government. In comparing allocations, Loy pointed out an increase of 8.2 billion euros between 2011 and 2019, under the Monti, Letta, Renzi, Gentiloni, and Conte governments; of 11.6 billion euros between 2019 and 2022, during the Conte government; and of 17.5 billion euros between 2022 and 2026, with the Meloni government, which would raise the fund from 125.4 to 142.9 billion euros. She described the latter as the largest accounting increase in peacetime. Loy also mentioned monthly increases of around 400 euros for doctors, peaking at 600 euros, a plan to hire 1,000 doctors and 6,300 nurses, coverage of over 2,000 new services, and a flat tax of 15% on overtime for doctors and nurses. She finally contested the statements of Senator Castellone on L’Aria che tira regarding cuts to healthcare. #SanitàPubblica #GovernoMeloni #FakeNews (translated)

I would suggest that Ukraine gets a new leader who could reach an agreement, as Zelensky had the opportunity to conclude many agreements, but for unknown reasons, he never did. This war should never have started. In my opinion, it is time for Ukraine to have a new president. Trump also stated that Zelensky has not been able to reach an agreement with Russia to end the war, so he believes Ukraine should have a new president: "I would suggest that Ukraine gets a new leader who could reach an agreement, as Zelensky had the opportunity to conclude many agreements, but for unknown reasons, he never did.

"We are always ready to intervene again, particularly with the mechanism of mobile excise duties. We have 170 million and we are wondering whether it is more effective to spend them now when there are still containment measures or to keep them as reserves, but I hope the Price Cap is fully restored." This was stated by the President of the Council, Giorgia Meloni, in response to a question about the rising fuel prices in Italy, during the final press conference of the MED9 summit in Split, Croatia. #Accise #Carburanti #GiorgiaMeloni (translated)

"We are always ready to intervene again, particularly with the mechanism of mobile excise duties. In the month of September, we have about 170 million that can be spent for this purpose. We are questioning whether it is more effective to spend them at this moment, when there are still containment measures in place, or to keep them as a reserve when those measures run out. It also depends on the stability of the cap. Let's see what happens in the next few hours. I hope that in the next few hours the price cap can be fully restored, then the assessment will have to be made afterwards." This was said by the President of the Council Giorgia Meloni at the end of the Med9 summit in Split, in response to a question about rising fuel prices. #accise #inflazione #carburanti (translated)

Alvis Hermanis announced that he has resigned from the position of leader of the party "We Change the Rules" and will henceforth remain a regular member. He acknowledged that he had not been able to convince the public of the need to change the rules, and therefore, in his opinion, the leadership should be entrusted to someone else, and the party members should decide on this matter. Hermanis recommended Jāzeps Baško for the leadership position, whom he described as an idealistic, smart, honest, persistent, and principled person. He urged other party members to support Baško. Hermanis also wrote that he would continue to implement the party's program but would start with himself and change his consciousness and habits. He expressed the view that it is not possible to transform the world, and pointed out that he would not give up on the goal but would try to achieve it differently. #partija #nākotne #izmaiņas (translated)

Angelo Mangiante recalled the Wimbledon final on July 12, won by Jannik Sinner against Alexander Zverev, who was defeated by the Italian for the tenth consecutive time. He said he had the honor of interviewing Sinner after the victory and described the day as historic for Italian sports. Mangiante reported that Sinner announced, after consulting the doctors, that he needed a cycle of treatment for his knee and considered the 2026 season over. According to the journalist, the year had ended with 44 wins and three losses, one Slam—his fifth career Slam—and five Masters 1000 titles: Indian Wells, Miami, Monte Carlo, Madrid, and Rome. Sinner had been number one for 95 weeks, Mangiante wrote, adding that the break would give Zverev the opportunity to surpass him. Mangiante explained that the diagnosis, confirmed in four consultations and also by a knee expert seen in Lyon, Professor Bertrand Sommery-Cotet, was an extra-articular tendinopathy of the right knee, indicated as ITBS. He reported that the specialists did not consider surgery necessary and recommended rest, therapy, athletic reconditioning, and muscle strengthening, without haste. The goal, he wrote, was to fully recover and return at his best in 2027. The journalist noted that the break would mean six months without Sinner, for the first time, and deemed the decision to focus on a long-term career the most sensible. He also expressed confidence that upon return, the tennis player would come back even stronger. #Tennis #JannikSinner #Sportitaliano (translated)
