Party ready to take to the streets from October with initiatives in all regions and new collection of signatures
AI-generated summary
The theme of the full veil and Islamic fundamentalism has always been dear to the Italian centre-right. Recently the League launched a 'package against fundamentalist Islam' and the school decree has already banned the full veil in schools. Fratelli d'Italia now expands the ban to all public places with a national campaign.
Not only the school decree, FdI is ready to take to the streets "to stop the spread of Islamic fundamentalism" and of the full veil in public places: from next week Giorgia Meloni's party will implement initiatives in all the regions of Italy and will start a new collection of signatures on the topic.
The announcement follows a few days the press conference in which the League launched its "package against fundamentalist Islam". A renewed attention to a theme that has always been dear to the center-right which, a year (or perhaps less) after the vote, the government allies are riding each for themselves. If the center-left sees these moves as evidence of a coalition in trouble due to competition from Roberto Vannacci's right, the Melonians continue on. "Fdi will proceed quickly with the approval of its bill to extend the ban on the full veil in all public places - explains the head of the party's immigration department, Sara Kelany -. In Italy our laws are respected".
Kelany applauds "the government which with the school law has banned the full veil in schools, because - he explains - if it is unacceptable to cover the faces of women, mortifying their identity, it is even more so for girls and young girls". "The values of freedom, equality and parity between men and women are not negotiable. It is absurd that the left, for mere electoral gain, does not take up a battle for women's freedom and against the oppression of Islamic fundamentalism".
The Brothers' new campaign is called "no one remains hidden" and aims to collect signatures on Kelany's first signature law proposal which will follow its process in the Chamber and has five objectives: stop the full veil in all public places, severe punishments for arranged marriages, ban on issuing virginity certificates, more stringent controls on places of worship with greater transparency on financing, temporary closure "where ideas based on superiority and hatred are propagated".
There are 20 first stages scheduled. We start on October 1st in Potenza and Matera, on the 2nd in Bari, on the 3rd in Perugia. Then on the 8th in Rome, on the 10th in Trento, Genoa, Aosta, Udine, Ancona and Padua. It continues on the 16th in Tortolì, Catanzaro and Campobasso, on the 17th in Pescara, on the 18th in Palermo, on the 23rd in Bologna and Florence, on the 24th in Turin, on the 27th in Naples and on the 20th November in Milan. "This last stage is fundamental since there are as many as 150 thousand Muslims present in the Lombard capital - states Riccardo De Corato -. In neighborhoods like San Siro as well as in the province the concentration is truly very high. A reality that Majorino's centre-left and comrades have guiltily favored by tolerating for years the existence of at least 12 illegal mosques in the city".

On the eve of the by-elections in the Reggio Calabria-Locri constituency, General Roberto Vannacci published on social media a retouched photo of the partner of the President of the Calabria Region Roberto Occhiuto, sparking a transversal controversy. The entire centre-right, from Forza Italia to the Lega and Fratelli d'Italia, condemned the gesture as vulgar and unacceptable, even finding a rare agreement with the centre-left. Vannacci defended himself by attributing responsibility for the retouching to a Calabrian site, while Occhiuto and the person directly involved, the undersecretary Matilde Siracusano, denounced the act as squalid and perverse, announcing legal action. Tomorrow and Monday's vote sees Forza Italia candidate Fabio Roscioli and Futuro Nazionale Vannacci competing against each other, in a context of internal tensions within the center-right after the 'snatch' of the regional group leader Domenico Giannetta.

Elly Schlein, national secretary of the Democratic Party, calls for immediate elections, criticizing the Meloni government for the school decree, the failure to reform school buildings and the proposal to expel foreign students, while soliciting funds for the territories affected by the earthquake of 31 July and inviting them to conquer the government with the support of the America's Cup in the Gulf of Naples.

The reformists of the Democratic Party met in Prato to establish positions on sending weapons to Ukraine and on the modalities of the primaries, asking for a double round and the participation of candidates other than Elly Schlein, while rejecting the idea of aligning with the M5s and Avs.

The reformists of the Democratic Party, meeting in Prato, defined the "red lines" not to be crossed, reiterating their unwavering support for Ukraine and opposition to the anti-Semitism bill, underlining the need to maintain the party's identity without moving to the left to chase Giuseppe Conte or the broad field.

Deputy Prime Minister Antonio Tajani denounces the vulgar and unacceptable attack against Undersecretary Matilde Siracusano on Siracusano announces a lawsuit for the crime suffered, while Vannacci defends the publication by accusing those who criticize him of lack of arguments.

Elly Schlein, national secretary of the Democratic Party, participating in the regional party of the Democratic Party in Campania in Portici, stated that the earlier you go to vote the better, criticizing Giorgia Meloni for the arguments with allies over the vote and underlining the need to give the voters the say again due to the disaster of the centre-right, with zero growth despite the Pnrr, a decline in production for three years, the lowest salaries in Europe and the cost of energy among the highest.
