Why It Matters
Giulio Regeni, an Italian researcher, was found dead in 2016 in Egypt after disappearing. The family demands truth and justice, and the Italian state has become a civil party in the trial.
I want to reiterate my closeness to Giulio Regeni's family, to their request which is also ours for truth and justice. The Italian state is a civil party in the trial, so we too are absolutely determined to seek the truth about the matter. The sentence has not yet become final, so everything will have to be done in the ways and times in which it is necessary to do so. I can say that in this search for truth and justice we have always used all channels. We have also used the political and diplomatic channels with Cairo, I have a bit of doubt that by closing those channels we are moving closer to our objectives rather than moving away from those objectives. Thus the Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni in statements to the press in Prague with the Prime Minister of the Czech Republic
What to Watch
AI outlook — possibilities, not facts
