Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni has introduced a €23.5 billion economic package, extracting €5 billion from banks and insurance companies to fund support for families and businesses. In parliament, Meloni received rare applause from the center-left for her stance on Ukraine, while she invited her own dissenters to resign if they preferred the opposition's line.
Industrial unrest continues at the former ILVA steel plant, where workers have occupied the prefecture building in Genoa. In the courts, three healthcare workers were suspended following allegations of physical and sexual abuse at a residential care home, and police have identified a network specialized in defrauding the elderly.
A new highway code has been introduced with speeding fines starting at just €3.50, though municipalities expect to make up the difference in volume. Meanwhile, farmers in Puglia are protesting against olive oil prices that no longer cover their production costs.
