24.06.2026The Day Rutte Claimed 500 Planes Flew from Italy

The day was dominated by NATO Secretary General Rutte's claim that 500 US planes took off from Italian bases for operations against Iran, sparking immediate rebuttals from Defense Minister Crosetto, who called the message 'totally fallacious' and insisted treaties were respected. The controversy unfolded throughout the afternoon, with outlets across the spectrum covering the government's clash with NATO and opposition demands for Meloni to clarify. By evening, Trump expressed disappointment with Italy and other allies, while the US ambassador praised Meloni's work. Earlier, the release of former Rome mayor Gianni Alemanno after 18 months in prison drew attention, as he announced plans to collaborate with General Vannacci and criticized Meloni on prison overcrowding. A family massacre in Versilia, where a 63-year-old man killed his wife and son with a shotgun before climbing onto the roof, became a secondary but persistent story, with the son's past post about being 'preferred dead than gay' widely cited.

Fino a pochi anni fa il termine socialismo era una bestemmia o quasi, in America. Oggi vincono alle primarie di New York i tre candidati sostenuti dal sindaco, in un partito in cui arrancano i moderati.
