I am truly grateful for this trust, but on the eve of an electoral process that promises to be long and complicated, my thoughts are simple and clear: new times require personalities more in tune with the political formations that will present themselves to the voters. It is right that my path stops here. Casini thanks the center-left that has supported him for the last ten years as an independent senator and explains the reasons for his choice: "I am truly grateful for this trust, but on the eve of an electoral process that promises to be long and complicated, my thoughts are simple and clear: new times require personalities more in tune with the political formations that will present themselves to the voters.

Rula Jebreal wrote that, in her opinion, there was an attempt underway to dismantle the legacies of the Allied victory over Nazi fascism, starting with international criminal justice, which was born in Nuremberg and is today represented by the International Criminal Court. She called the comment attributed to Israel regarding the Nobel to Navi Pillay, stating that "Joseph Goebbels is applauding from hell," a "grotesque reversal of history." Jebreal argued that the applause should rather go to those who, in her opinion, were trying to dismantle international justice and ensure impunity for war criminals. According to Jebreal, the delegitimization of the courts was the first step towards replacing the law with the will of those in power, with democracy as the ultimate target. She also criticized the announcement of a live-streamed execution by firing squad of the perpetrator of the Fort Hood massacre, describing it as a transformation of punishment into spectacle and the state into a stage of vengeance. She concluded that, in addition to international justice, the principles of national rule of law were also under attack. #GiustiziaInternazionale #DirittiUmani #Democrazia (translated)

Luigi Marattin responded to Corrado Formigli, who in the Corriere had described as "an embarrassing confusion" what the deputy said on Piazzapulita. Marattin mentioned that he has been reading investigative journalism and historical studies on conflicts for decades and cited Il Legionario, a book about Giustino De Vuono, arguing that its author documented the presented theses. Marattin accused the documentary Naza of making unfounded accusations. He cited the bombing which, according to the mentioned reconstruction, would have killed 500 civilians, stating that no evidence of either the attack or the death toll had been presented. He argued that the only source was Hamas's word, treated as truth, while Israeli accounts were dismissed as propaganda. He added that he had said on air that, in wartime, he did not consider the reports of the involved parties reliable and preferred those from independent observers. For this reason, he described Israel's decision not to allow foreign journalists into Gaza, even at their own risk, as a mistake. Marattin accused Formigli of not listening to this point and of silencing dissenters, imposing his own opinion. Finally, he wrote that he would have liked to read a "mea culpa" from the host for his statements about Israeli children on October 7. #giornalismodinchiesta #storia #media (translated)

"This electoral law essentially mirrors the one in force for municipalities and regions. I am puzzled by the reactions of the center-left; if they believe what they say, they must propose the abolition of the direct election of mayors. In local elections, citizens vote for the party, the coalition, the councilor, the mayor, and, with the majority prize and the threshold, they obtain stable governments. Exactly what our electoral law provides for. Perhaps the left prefers palace conspiracies and technocratic governments. It is true that preferences exist only in part, but those who accuse us do not seem to have ever considered the issue of preferences. As an old saying goes, 'the best is the enemy of the good.' It is better to have 40% of preferences than 0, and we have taken advantage of the situation to start a reform path that will lead citizens to choose 100% of parliamentarians with preferences in the future. Today, we could have achieved at most this result." This was declared by the Vice President of the Chamber of Deputies, Fabio Rampelli of Brothers of Italy, during a live intervention on the Coffee Break program on La7. #LeggeElettorale #PoliticaItaliana #Democrazia (translated)
