02.01.2026The Day of the Alpine Manslaughter Inquiry
Editorial focus on January 2nd shifted from the immediate shock of the Crans-Montana fire to a forensic and criminal investigation. Throughout the morning, outlets transitioned from reporting death tolls—which fluctuated between 40 and 47—to highlighting the 'flashover' phenomenon and the search for six missing Italians. Foreign Minister Tajani’s visit to Switzerland served as a focal point for diplomatic coordination and the complex identification of victims, including golf champion Emanuele Galeppini.
By early afternoon, the narrative became increasingly litigious. Headlines emphasized the prosecutor's hypothesis of manslaughter, specifically scrutinizing the ignition of flammable soundproofing foam by 'bottle candles.' Editors also prioritized reports of systemic failure, noting the presence of thirteen-year-olds in a venue lacking age controls. By evening, coverage consolidated around the criminal charges of negligence and homicide, even as the venue's owner publicly maintained compliance with safety standards, while secondary attention turned to AC Milan's victory over Cagliari.

Ciò che muove il trumpismo è l’odio per la democrazia liberale, il rifiuto della libertà individuale, dei diritti della persona, e delle istituzioni garanti. Ma c’è anche altro che si intreccia: basta seguire i soldi

Gli sbarchi nel 2025 sono rimasti stabili rispetto al 2024, ma gli arrivi dei bengalesi sono aumentati del 31%. Consolato (Welcome Refugees): "Scappano dalla Libia, per l'instabilità politica e perché hanno reti di conoscenza in Italia". Ma il loro Paese è considerato sicuro, pochi ottengono l'asilo.
