L'editorialista del Corriere della Sera le primarie o incoronano un candidato già identificato o rischiano di fare danni: "Meloni è un osso troppo duro per essere affrontato a colpi di bisteccherie e mozioni antifasciste, e per come si è messo il dibattito, è l’idea stessa di tenere le primarie che ci sembra debba essere ripensata: potrebbero finire in rissa"

Roma spinge ancora sulle procedure di rimpatrio e sul modello Albania, nonostante i costi alti e i tanti nodi. Ma secondo Eurostat, nei primi tre mesi del 2026 su 108mila migranti rimpatriabili nel territorio Ue, solo 34.550 sono stati mandati indietro. Prima è la Germania, con 7.300; seconda la Francia, con 3.775. L'Italia è solo sesta con 1.900. Non solo: per il Viminale c’è un «crollo di sbarchi» nel nostro Paese. Dunque, l'emergenza dov'è?

Da anni, nel disinteresse generale, in Sudan si consuma uno scontro di potere e una faida etnica che hanno prodotto 12 milioni di sfollati e 150 mila morti. Gli interessi di mezzo mondo favoriscono la paralisi dell’Onu. Una cecità strategica che si riverserà presto sulle nostre coste. E sarà toppo tardi

Il lento fallimento del Formato 16+1, il blocco dell'Europa centrale e orientale nato dopo la Crisi per ribellarsi al "paternalismo" di Bruxelles, Parigi e Berlino. Non è andata come previsto: il mercato cinese non si è aperto al loro export mentre è esploso il deficit, come anche l'influenza industriale di Pechino in Ungheria, Polonia e altri Stati. Una lezione (a posteriori) anche per Conte e Salvini

Piantedosi: 'Il ripristino dei controlli non è una misura contro la Spagna'. Madrid: 'Schengen mai stata a rischio, decisione di Roma incomprensibile'. Dall'inizio della crisi "sono entrati illegalmente 72mila migranti. Di questi 70mila hanno fatto rientro in Marocco"

Nel terzo Paese più povero degli Usa, i proventi del greggio sono esplosi grazie alla guerra in Medio Oriente. La governatrice dem uscente ha fatto sua la ricetta norvegese: farli confluire in un fondo sovrano da 75 miliardi di dollari per finanziare il welfare. Ma il welfare costa, i prezzi mordono, e i repubblicani, in vista del voto, hanno l'acquolina in bocca: vogliono abbassare le tasse, e a cascata l'inflazione (che nuoce a Trump)

In primavera l’esercito ucraino ha condotto più di 9mila operazioni in prima linea con piccoli veicoli senza, armati di tutto punto: esplosivi, mitragliatrici, razzi, lanciafiamme. E i dati sono parziali. Dopo i successi nello sviluppo dei droni, la Difesa di Kiev punta a metterne sul campo 50mila entro l'anno. Sperando in un impatto oltre che sul campo, sul tavolo delle trattative

Lo schema del "chi prende un voto in più alle primarie (o alle urne) sceglie la linea della coalizione" suggerito da Travaglio e rilanciato da Conte non trova sponde nel Pd, e si sapeva. Ma anche Avs è contraria e - sorpresa - pure diversi 5 stelle. L'ex ministro Costa: "Se non troviamo una mediazione i nostri elettori non ci capirebbero". Fratoianni: "Il programma viene prima". Bonelli va oltre: "Le primarie? Una stupidaggine"
