โจThe newspapers extensively report on the heated parliamentary debate following Prime Minister Meloni's criticism of the Manifesto of Ventotene, a foundational European Union document (ANSA, Avvenire, Corriere, Fanpage, Il Giornale, Il Manifesto, Il Primato, La Stampa). Meloni stated "this is not my Europe," causing opposition protests that twice suspended the parliamentary session (ANSA, Corriere, Il Manifesto). Actor Roberto Benigni strongly countered Meloni's position during a television appearance, calling the Ventotene authors "heroes" and the EU "a dream that young people will realize" (Adnkronos, Avvenire, La Repubblica). Meanwhile, international coverage continues on Trump-Putin-Ukraine negotiations, with concerns that Ukraine might be sacrificed in their "great negotiation" (HuffPost).
