28.10.2026 ⇢ The Day Trains Collided Outside Toledo
⌨

Overnight counts from Israel reversed exit polls, giving Netanyahu's bloc 54 seats to Eisenkot's 47-49, Likud first but short of 61, with Arab lists at 17-19 as potential kingmakers. Netanyahu promised a strong right-wing government while Trump claimed credit for the comeback.

Mid-morning attention shifted to Spain, where two high-speed trains collided on the Madrid-Andalusia line near Toledo, carriages falling down an embankment. The toll rose through the day to at least 68 dead and over 150 injured, with authorities citing human error. Seven Italians were aboard, three women reported missing.

In Milan a judge refused to validate the detention of Youssef Siher, ruling he never advocated violence, prompting Meloni to call the decision shameful.

In the afternoon the cabinet approved the 26-billion-euro 2027 budget, extending the 33% Irpef bracket to 55,000 euros and creating a 100-euro yearly pension fund for newborns, while postponing the energy-bills decree.

Coverage highlights the surge of Arab parties and Eisenkot's claim of clear distrust in the government.

Gli israeliani votano in massa (77,7%), ma gli exit poll non indicano un chiaro vincitore. Netanyahu si fa forza del Likud primo partito, ma Eisenkot ha la coalizione più numerosa alla Knesset. Quota 61 è lontana per tutti: le liste arabe con 18 seggi potrebbero spostare gli equilibri. Ma per sbloccare il pareggio e governare, qualcuno dovrà scendere a compromessi

L'ex ministra all'HuffPost: "La manovra dimostra una mancanza di considerazione per i giovani, anche se si fa finta di averla. Stiamo andando incontro all'impoverimento giovanile, e pensano all'età per la pensione, magari col rischio di assegni più bassi. Serve un piano per le nuove generazioni. L'innalzamento della flat tax? Non si può continuare a incoraggiare indirettamente l'evasione fiscale"

Il premio per gli under 30 da 2500 euro tassati all'1% entra ufficialmente in manovra come misura principale destinata ai giovani. L'economista Michele Raitano (Sapienza): "Il premio agli under30 non risolve nulla. Nove su dieci guadagnano meno di 20mila euro, dove l'aliquota effettiva è già al 5%". Il problema nel lavoro giovanile non è fiscale ma retributivo. E avverte: "Le imprese potrebbero usare lo sconto per pagare meno"

La premier critica duramente la gip di Milano che ha scarcerato Youssef Siher, accusato di aver istigato le proteste del 17 ottobre, ma la sua ricostruzione contiene un errore: il canale Telegram a lui attribuito è nato dopo gli scontri. La giudice non ha ravvisato elementi sufficienti per giustificare il fermo. Ma per la maggioranza la condanna è già emessa. E Meloni ha individuato i nemici della sua campagna elettorale, pronta a partire dopo la manovra
