Ed è un attacco sistematico alla razionalità occidentale. Una spiegazione sul perché tutto questo in Italia diventa comico

13:34Meloni's Fuel Relief Shield

The Italian media has shifted focus toward the domestic economic pressure of rising fuel costs. Editors across the spectrum (ANSA, Adnkronos, Sky TG24, Il Fatto Quotidiano) are prioritizing the Meloni government's emergency meeting scheduled for tomorrow to extend the excise tax discount.

16:12Excise Relief Extension Looms

Building on the fuel relief agenda, editors (Sky TG24, Corriere Della Sera, Il Fatto Quotidiano, Adnkronos) are now detailing the Meloni government's dual strategy. While tomorrow's Council of Ministers will extend excise discounts for low-income earners, there is a new emphasis on securing an EU-wide agreement on taxing windfall profits. This shift signals an attempt to internationalize the fiscal burden of domestic energy subsidies.

Dalle motocicliste di Shiraz alle donne a capo scoperto nelle manifestazioni filogovernative, la disobbedienza contro il regime di Teheran è diventata quotidiana. L’obbligo resta, le condanne sono durissime e gli ultraconservatori reclamano la linea dura.
