The Day of the Bella Ciao Protest

Morning headlines were dominated by Donald Trump's pledge to avoid nuclear weapons and the three-week extension of the Israel-Lebanon ceasefire. Editors also focused on leaked Pentagon emails suggesting a potential suspension of Spain from NATO, an idea dismissed by the Spanish government. By midday, attention centered on the Chamber of Deputies, where the Security Decree was definitively passed amid high symbolic tension; opposition parties sang "Bella Ciao" while the right responded with the national anthem. Simultaneously, the sentencing of Chiara Petrolini to 24 years for the death of her second child garnered significant legal coverage. The afternoon saw the emergence of a diplomatic dispute as Switzerland requested 108,000 euros for medical expenses related to the Crans-Montana accident. Prime Minister Meloni’s firm refusal of the "ignobile" request became a primary focus. Late reports confirmed US envoys Witkoff and Kushner were traveling to Pakistan to restart negotiations with Iranian representatives.
