The Chamber’s plenary session has begun on the case involving Andrea Delmastro. The majority rapporteur in the authorization committee, Pietro Pittalis, who spoke first, explained to the assembly the reasons for the proposal to deny the Prosecutor’s request to acquire the chats, which was approved by majority in the committee. The Chamber will vote on this report today. Meanwhile, the first interventions from various opposition leaders have also come from the benches. First among all: Giuseppe Conte.
“There is no minister in the Chamber, but how can the government not show its face? Meloni doesn’t show up?“, Conte protested. But the former Prime Minister was immediately ‘corrected’ by the presiding chair Anna Ascani, who explained: “This is an internal matter, it is not required that government representatives be present.” Cheers erupted from the majority benches. Meanwhile, the leader of the Five Star Movement resumed his speech: “My judgment was political, not technical, aren’t many of them deputies? Meloni is a deputy…”. Then he added: “I see the quaestor removing government members, we are witnessing an incredible scene. I want it to be on record that a quaestor called out government members and had them removed.”

And again: “Today we are talking about a shield: against the cost of living, falling wages, the collapse of industrial production? No, a shield for party friends, these are the government’s priorities “towards citizens, from whom you are light years away. The majority is about to shield a party buddy by restricting a citizen’s right to defense, so you also disregard constitutional rights.” “I’m trying: come on, show those chats, some dignity, take out your phones…”, Conte’s theatrical act. And the M5S deputies then raised and showed all their phones. At the same time, it is reported, the Five Star senators (in the chamber for Giorgetti’s communications) also raised their phones staging a symbolic protest action and recalling the #fuorilechat campaign promoted in recent weeks by the Five Star Movement. The theatrical act was also performed by the Greens and Left Alliance. “You cannot blindfold the eyes of Italians,” said Elisabetta Piccolotti. And her party colleagues symbolically blindfolded their eyes in the Chamber.
