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)

Carmelo Schininà wrote that the saliva test on the spoon used by Chiara Poggi for breakfast had returned positive, while the traces from the Ris of that time associated with that DNA were, according to him, one flat and the other unreadable. He reported that, according to the magistrates, there could have been a laboratory error, with a mix-up between the test tubes of the spoon and those of the pedals, and that for this reason the traces from the spoon would be without DNA. Schininà specified that the hypothesis still had to be proven, but argued that proving the error could compromise a fundamental part of the Ris investigations. He also criticized the lack of communication regarding the negative traces related to the spoon. #garlasco #ignotox #tgla7 #garlasco #giustizia #rispetto (translated)

Anna Cisint has requested the expulsion of Omar Vanin from the Bar Association, calling him the president of the "Islamic court" of Padova. She argued that anyone promoting a parallel court based on Sharia should not continue to practice law or teach at a state university.

Marco Setaccioli recalled that, twenty years earlier, Anna Politkovskaya had been shot and killed in the hallway of her home in Moscow. He claimed that Vladimir Putin had ordered her elimination on the day of his birthday and described her as a journalist, activist, and opponent who had denounced the crimes of the regime and the restrictions on freedoms. Setaccioli also cited a passage from *Putin's Russia* in which Politkovskaya attributed the responsibility for what was happening to the apathy and weak reactions of those who opposed Putin, arguing that they contributed to ensuring his impunity. He urged readers to compare the words of the journalist with those of politicians who, in his view, were ready to trade security for votes and claimed that Putin's Russia was not a danger. He urged them to ask themselves whether, with their "cowardice," they honored the memory of Politkovskaya or legitimized the world of violence, oppression, and death that, according to him, her murderer was building. #Putin #Apathy #Freedom (translated)

Bonifacio Castellane wrote that immigration supporters had first filled Europe with immigrants and then noticed the housing crisis, a sequence that, in his opinion, raised suspicions. He said he understood the readers of Repubblica, but wondered if anyone really believed that the increase in rents and the decrease in salaries were due to fascists rather than mathematical laws. #Immigrazione #CrisisAbitativa #Politica (translated)
