🚧 Protests

The nation grapples with heightened tensions as authorities have made two arrests linked to No Tav protests, with the suspects reportedly connected to anti-establishment groups. This development comes amid ongoing demonstrations and a recent initiative in Susa that saw organizers vowing to ensure compliance with regulations. Adding to the domestic political drama, the Chamber of Deputies is embroiled in a "psycho-hunt" for secret votes concerning the contentious Delmastro case. Prosecutors are pressing for access to private chats with Mauro Caroccia, a businessman convicted of mafia-related crimes, as the Five Star Movement insists on a definitive decision from parliament. In more positive news, an agreement has been reached to renew the national collective contract for healthcare personnel, which includes salary increases. Additionally, a new policy will introduce identity cards without an expiry date for citizens over 70, a change welcomed as a significant revolution.
