The disorder that occurred in Milan and other Italian cities during the weekend was the result of demonstrations organized through social networks by young people not affiliated with political movements, aimed at protesting against the rising cost of living and inadequate wages, while the violence subsequently involved groups that coordinated through platforms like TikTok and WhatsApp. #DisordiniMilano #ItaliaInPiazza #SocialMediaMobilitazione (translated)

Syd had argued that two things could be true at the same time: according to the author, infiltrators with personal violent intentions or with the aim of diverting attention were always present at the demonstrations. He added that completely peaceful protests did not achieve results or attract attention. #manifestazioni #politica #protesta (translated)

The law enforcement forces have guaranteed the right to demonstrate with their usual professionalism, intervening with balance and caution in critical situations where it was necessary to do so. In any case, the treacherous actions carried out by these agitated professionals of disorder will not go unpunished. In addition to numerous arrests, investigation activities have been initiated to ensure that those responsible are brought to justice. The minor age of some protagonists cannot suggest any form of impunity. The line of the Ministry of the Interior, as always, is aimed at preventing violence to avoid worse troubles, but without discounts on individual responsibilities that will be contested in criminal proceedings. Those who engage in such illegal actions will face the corresponding response from the State, which will apply existing laws. This is clearly blatant violence that will not achieve any result, said the Minister of the Interior, Matteo Piantedosi. #ForzediPolizia #SicurezzaCittadina #ViolenzaInStrada (translated)

Marco Setaccioli challenged Marco Travaglio's calculations on European and Russian military spending, stating that Travaglio had indicated 450 billion euros for Europe and 150 for Russia and had argued that Russia had reason to fear Europe, which had invaded it four times in the last 200 years. According to Setaccioli, in the current year Russia would have spent around 17 trillion rubles on defense, equivalent to 181 billion euros, a figure indicated, according to him, by most analysts. He noted that the nominal comparison did not take purchasing power into account: applying indices developed by specialized research centers, Russian spending would rise to 574 billion international dollars, compared to about 700 billion for the entire EU. He added that the EU would have three and a half times the population of Russia and a GDP nine times greater. Setaccioli argued that the Russian federal budget did not show all military costs. He cited studies by economist Craig Kennedy, according to which part of the spending would be financed through subsidized loans and would thus remain on the banks' balance sheets. He also recalled an investigation by Dozhd', which, according to him, had documented pressures on private companies to hire people before signing contracts with the military and to supplement salaries with corporate funds. He added that at least three militias would be linked to Gazprom, which would cover part of the costs. For these reasons, he dismissed as false the claim that Russia spent less than the EU. Historically, Setaccioli criticized Travaglio's reconstruction, according to which the Napoleonic and Nazi invasions, along with interventions in Crimea and support for the Bolsheviks, would justify Russian fears toward Europe. Setaccioli listed Russian troop interventions in Poland in 1939, Finland in 1939-1940, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, and Romania in 1940, Bulgaria in 1944, Hungary in 1956, Czechoslovakia in 1968, Moldova in 1992, Georgia in 2008, and Ukraine in 2014 and 2022. He stated that there were no Russian regions occupied by European countries, while eight regions—one in Moldova, two in Georgia, and five in Ukraine—would be under Russian control. Finally, Setaccioli accused Travaglio of presenting a selective and misleading reconstruction to make Russia appear not dangerous, portray Europe as a threat, and argue that rearmament was unnecessary and risky. In his view, that reasoning could legitimize a potential Russian attack on Europe and constituted a form of collaborationism. #Russia #Europa #Difesa (translated)

Luigi Marattin indicated as the first point of the Libdem Party the reduction of the size of the State and taxes, arguing that the expansion of the public apparatus had made it similar to an illusory "Mr. Wolf", presented to Italians as the only solution to the country's problems.

"It was a long but constructive negotiation that led to an important result," commented Council President Giorgia Meloni, who said she was "very pleased" with the agreement that would pave the way for a solution similar to the so-called "Iberian exception," which was granted to Spain and Portugal in 2022 precisely to limit the impact of gas costs on electricity prices. #Bollette #Energia #Gas (translated)

The agreement on Russian diesel announced last Friday by President of the United States Donald Trump is a decision that I consider very risky – he said in communications to the Senate in view of the European Council – The spike in fuel prices is mainly due to the war in Iran, not the conflict in Ukraine. Therefore, the outcome of this choice is doubtful, while the risks are clear, namely a legitimization for Moscow while its bombs continue to fall on Ukrainian cities, new revenues to finance the war, an implicit weakening of the sanctions leverage are elements that we cannot ignore and that contradict what has been done so far by Western states, including the United States, to push Putin to come to the negotiation table. #Zelensky #GiorgiaMeloni #RussiaUcraina (translated)

Ultimora.net reported that Giorgia Meloni, speaking in the Senate, had called the agreement on Russian diesel announced by Donald Trump risky. While acknowledging the need to contain energy prices, Meloni had attributed the price increases primarily to the war in Iran. She also argued that the agreement could legitimize Moscow, provide it with new resources to finance the war, and weaken the sanctions, contradicting Western efforts, including those of the United States, to bring Vladimir Putin to the negotiating table. According to Meloni, the outcome of the choice was uncertain, while the risks were clear. #Energia #Guerra #Politica (translated)

Andrea Tosatto criticized Capra for insulting Massimo Giletti and treating others as ignorant, arguing that such an attitude did not strengthen the arguments but made them more arrogant. Tosatto reported that Capra considered negative tests irrelevant and claimed that a flat line did not necessarily demonstrate the absence of DNA. While acknowledging that such a trace did not automatically exclude the presence of DNA, Tosatto said that a negative result could not be dismissed as irrelevant for that reason. According to Tosatto, conflicting results would require checks on the correspondence of samples and analysis conditions, the reproducibility of the positive result, and the methods used to obtain it. He also questioned whether the sample had always been collected by the same person and hypothesized that the mysterious "Port" might have swapped the analyzed items. For this reason, he deemed Giletti's questions legitimate and stated that a negative result did not automatically render the positive result unassailable. Tosatto added that technical expertise did not authorize humiliating others and that, in his opinion, Capra had made a poor impression in front of millions of Italians. He also said that if he were Bossetti, he would have cried watching him on television. Regarding the Garlasco case, he argued that conclusions should be proven with verifiable documents, procedures, and explanations, and stated that Chiara Poggi deserved the truth. Finally, he challenged what he described as the presentation of a signature placed under the wording "seen everything" as if it were a signature on a complete document. #Giletti #Garlasco #Capra #Scienza #Verità #Rispetto (translated)
