News about Matteo Salvini

With the center-right Social Democrats and center-left Social Democrats alternating their positions for years, the Chega chief, a former trainee priest who later became a tough-talking football commentator, disrupted what had long been a two-horse election in Portugal, with the center-right Social Democrats and center-left Social Democrats alternating their positions for years. The Social Democrat-led Democratic Alliance (AD) won only by a slim margin, and is now poised to rule without a majority if it is not included in government. "One thing is for certain tonight, the two-party system in Portugal is finished," Ventura said on Sunday, adding that his party is "at ease to be part of a government." Chega became the third biggest party in the 230-seat National Assembly, quadrupling its parliamentary representation to 48 lawmakers, implying that the AD, which will gain just 79 seats, will only be allowed to pass laws with far-right support.

Two of the migrants, both minors, brutally assaulted the 13-year-old teen girl in a public bathroom (main) for half an hour, while the remainder of the gang allegedly resisted her abused boyfriend and coerced him to watch the horror unfold. All seven of the criminals arrived in Italy as unlawful migrants by sea, but were granted provisional residency as a result of Italian rule that does not allow the removal of minors (migrants arriving in Italy and a detention center seen correctly). News of the deadly attack sparked immediate retaliation, with Italy's Deputy Prime Minister Matteo Salvini calling for the perpetrators to be chemically castrated and Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni (main) claiming that "justice will be done." Since DNA testing revealed that at least one minor had sexually assaulted the girl, the gang in question has been shackled. However, the horrific occurrence in Italy has reignited a fresh debate over immigration reform, with a 50% increase in illegal migrant landings last year compared to 2022.

The child was "attacked by a gang of seven Egyptians" and that "chemical castration will be the only cure," Matteo Salvini reported. The teen, who was 13 years old at the time, was sexually assaulted in Villa Bellini park in Catania, Sicily, around 7.30 p.m. on January 30 while walking with her 17-year-old boyfriend. A group of young men coerced the teen and her boyfriend into a public bathroom, where some of them held the boyfriend back while two others reportedly gang-raped the child. According to La Repubblica, there are seven male criminals, three of whom were minors, who reportedly entered Italy unlawfully between November 2021 and March 2023 as "unaccompanied minors." According to reports, the criminals are from Egypt and aged 15 to 19. Giorgia Meloni, the Italian Prime Minister, who was in Catania on a pre-arranged visit, expressed surprise at the rape. She expressed her sympathy for the victim and her family, as well as the promise that "justice will be done."

Mario Roggero, 68, fired the gang after they burst into his shop, tied his daughter up in a horrific attack, and threatened to murder his mother Mariangela in April 2021. After the three strong men escaped with watches and jewelry and fired Andrea Spinelli and Giuseppe Mazzarino dead, Roggero pursued them, but the third was wounded and later arrested, but not the third was injured. Mariangela said: 'This sentence is ridiculous.' Following the outrage over Judge Alberto Giannone's harsh sentence for protecting his family, he said on an Italian television. It's incomprehensible. "But we now have to think about the financial implications of this conviction because, apart from being found guilty, we now face going bust.'

A jeweler in Italy has been sentenced to 17 years in jail for shooting dead two crooks who robbed his store and tied up his daughter. On April 28, 2021, Mario Roggero fired the robbers in Grinzane Cavour, tied his daughter's hands behind his back, threatened to murder his wife, and encouraged them to expensive jewelry and watches. Roggero was seen on CCTV chasing the robbers out of the store and shooting at them at least five times, fearing for his life.

Two murals - of Anne Frank and the 'Warsaw Ghetto boy' - aimed at showcasing anti-semitism - were vandalized within 24 hours of being painted on Milan's streets with pro-Palestinian messages. Matteo Salvini, the deputy prime minister of Italy, responded vehemently to the murals' anti-semitic vandalism, saying that Italians must not stand united against hatred.' In Milan's central Piazza Castello, a mural depicting Holocaust survivor Anne Frank cling while clutching the Israeli flag was painted over the words 'GAZA FREE'.

Indi Gregory, the father of a critically ill baby who was at the center of a court dispute as her parents attempted to keep her on life support, has delved deeply into her final days. Despite Indie's sisters and mother Claire around her, she died before she passed away, according to Dean Gregory, 37, who said she died before she passed away. 'Allenge and I had to hold her for a few times, and she had a few hours of peace,' Mr Gregory told the Mirror. We didn't leave her side; one of us would go for a meal while the other would stay. We couldn't able to leave her just in case.'

Despite decades of painful research backed by millions of pounds, there is still no cure for mitochondrial disease. It means that kids with disabilities will have a long life before their body stops shutting down, often as a result of respiratory difficulties. Indi Gregory's (pictured) heartbreaking battle against the disease has shed new light on the barely understood umbrella syndrome, a catch-all term for genetic disorders triggered by mutations in mitochondria, known as the cell powerhouse. In the early hours of this morning, an eight-month old Indi, who was at the center of a court fight over her care, died in the early hours of this morning after having her breathing tube removed.

After being hospitalized, baby Indi Gregory died on the morning of November 13 at a Nottingham hospice at the age of eight months old. Despite her parents' protests of the move, a court debate over her treatment resulted in her breathing tube being removed. The baby girl was fighting mitochondrial disease, the same illness that killed baby Charlie Gard, who died in 2017. Indi's parents said they were 'angry, heartbroken, and ashamed' following her death. Read the complete timeline of tragic events leading up to Indi Gregory's death.

Baby Indi Gregory, who was entangled in a legal controversy over her treatment, died after having her breathing tube removed. Indi, an eight-month-old Indie, had been involved in numerous High Court and Court of Appeal cases. Judges had ruled she should die, but Italy stepped in and made her an Italian citizen last week, and she was admitted to a Rome hospital for medical care. But her attempt was unsuccessful on Friday, and her parents, Dean Gregory and Claire Stanforth, were informed that her breathing tube would be removed. She was moved from the Queen Medical Centre in Nottingham to a hospice where she died in the early hours of Monday morning.

A pregnant bride (left) on her honeymoon was one of those killed when a bus carrying tourists overturned (right) after plunging from an Italian bridge. Antonela Perkovic was one of 21 people wounded in the tragedy that also killed a newborn baby and two other children, along with 15 others. Last night, the tourist bus in Venice broke through a guardrail and into a canal. Marko Bakovic, Antonela's husband, survived the accident in Mestre, Italy, while the bus was carrying day trippers back to a campsite near Venice. The couple tied the knot in Split, Croatia, three weeks ago, on an extended honeymoon.

Alberto Rizzotto, 40, has been identified as the vehicle's operator and was among those injured when it fell 30 feet off a bridge and burst into flames on Tuesday evening. 19 bodies had been recovered from the wreckage by Wednesday morning, and two more people were hospitalized in hospital. Officials say two children were killed and as many as 18 people were injured, five of whom are in a critical state. Investigators are already pouring over footage from traffic cameras on the bridge that caught the shooting unfolding around 7.45 p.m. local time to determine the cause of what has been described as a 'huge tragedy,' by Venice's mayor. Officials said the Rizzotto had a "medical incident" on the road, with one reporting that the bus was "straight and there were no bends," and the video seemed to show the bus 'drifting' toward the guardrail.

A coach veered off the road and collapsed 30 meters (98 feet) into electricity lines before catching fire in the Mestre district, which is connected to Venice by a bridge, killing at least 21 people. According to Sky Italia, eighteen bodies, including two children, have so far been pulled from the ruins after the coach caught fire, while another 18 are thought to have been wounded. Tourists from Venice, Eastern Europe, were reported to be riding the bus from Venice back to their hotel in Marghera, just minutes away from the crash site. Since it was discovered that many onboard the bus were Ukrainian passport holders and were headed to a campsite where they were staying, it has been reported.

Matteo Messina Denaro, one of Italy's most influential chiefs, disappeared in the summer of 1993 and spent the next 30 years on the run as the state cracked down on the Sicilian mob. He lived as a fugitive in western Sicily, his stronghold, eluding law enforcement thanks to complicit townspeople's support, while also remaining at the top of Italy's most coveted list and increasingly becoming a figure of legend. That was eight months ago when he was arrested on January 16, 2023, owing to his hunger for colon cancer treatment. He was found and arrested in a hospital. He died on Monday, aged 61, after being arrested for nearly half his life after being found guilty of horrific offenses and just eight months since being arrested. Denaro's deposition was years in the making, one of the more ruthless bosses in Cosa Nostra, the real-life Sicilian crime syndicate depicted in the Godfather films.

ROBERT HARDMAN: Imagine that 3.7 million migrants arrived on the shores of Kent in a week. At this point, I suspect that even the most liberal, charitable do-gooders from Dartford to Dover would have to admit that things had gone horribly wrong. That has certainly been the case on the tiny Italian island of Lampedusa (population: 6,000) this week, when it was forced to cope with more than double its own people arriving from North Africa this week – stranded souls emerging from flimsy, filthy deathtraps before overwhelming the modest local reception center. There were 7,000 people in more than 100 boats on one day alone.

Passers-by who had arrived to watch the Frecce Tricolore display near Turin caught a dramatic video of the MB339 fighter plunging from the sky. The unit is the equivalent of the British Red Arrows and accident investigators are investigating the possibility that the plane had been hit by a bird strike, causing it to lose height. The plane is seen in the video clip in formation with other jets, but then loses height quickly as the others peel away as part of the display. Cars can be seen along a perimeter road and then the pilot ejects are captured before the plane crashes into the ground and explodes in a fireball.

Under an EU resettlement initiative, Germany will no longer accept refugees from Italy, and is pulling out of a European solidarity initiative over allegations that Rome has failed to fulfill its obligations to return migrants. An Interior Ministry spokesperson said on Wednesday that Berlin had voluntarily agreed to assist struggling EU states by taking in 3,500 migrants. Since it was announced last June in last year, it has accepted over 1,700 people under the program. But, insisting that Italy had 'for some time' stopped receiving migrants back from Germany under the Dublin Rules, it has announced that it will'postpone until further notice' its pledge of assistance in a blow to European unity.

Monica Poli, a middle-aged Italian woman from Venice, became a internet sensation last month for her zeal against petty crime. Her signature cry of 'attenzione pickpocket!' Cittadini Non Distratti ('undistracted people')'s social media pages were quickly transformed into dance tracks, like animals trying to nibble their owners' food. Cittadini Non Distratti Poli and her fellow volunteers have patrolled Venice for more than three decades, often reporting suspected pickpockets to the police. A significant number of pickpocketing arrests have been attributed to the organization's efforts. However, the revelation that she is a founding member of Lega Nord, a conservative political party with links to far-right politics and a rejection of immigrant rights has raised questions about the motivations behind her vigilantism.

When Matteo Di Pietro, an Italian YouTuber, crashed into a Smart car in Rome on Wednesday, he was reportedly driving a rented Lamborghini SUV as part of a stunt. Manuel Proietti (right with his mother and sister) five years old, was taken to a hospital in Ostia with his mother and sister, but the baby died soon after. Elena Uccello, 29, is still recovering in hospital for her injuries, while her four-year-old sister, who has not been identified, was released under the custody of her paternal grandparents. The YouTubers in the SUV were said to have attempted to overtake a car at a high rate while taunting other motorists as part of a social media stunt before crashing head on with the family's smart car. Vito Loiacono (left), a Lamborghini passenger, had posted a video on his TikTok mocking smart cars for being more affordable than his rented sports car just two hours before the crash.

JONATHAN McEVOY: The Emilia-Romagna Grand Prix in Imola on Sunday has been postponed after the region was hit by serious floods. Stefano Domenicali, F1's chief executive, made the call on Wednesday morning, meaning that a number of flights will be cancelled and hotel rooms will be left empty as the majority of the 2,000 or so traveling circus does not travel to Italy. The majority of staff will have been discharged on Wednesday or Thursday morning, either Wednesday or Thursday, just days before practice on Friday morning. Following a flood and landslide warning, some staff were already in the paddock, erecting the bridge and preparing garages before being told not to go further from the track on Tuesday afternoon and Wednesday.

Hundreds of Napoli and Eintracht Frankfurt fans clashed in Naples, Italy, ahead of the team's Champions League match against tonight. In Naples's city centre, the 'Ultras' could be seen throwing stones, flares, and other projectiles. While vehicle windows were cracked across the street, a police car and other vehicles were also set ablaze. Bystanders' cars and motorcycles were also damaged, as well as some shops overlooking the Piazza del Gesu Nuovo. The crowd was eventually calmed, with police in riot gear escorting them to their hotels.

After a slew of mudslides in Ischia, Italy, caused by torrential rain, a young girl's body was recovered from her family's house on Sunday. According to Italian newspaper Correo della Sera, the child was believed to be five years old and her parents are also missing. Following the recovery of a 31-year-old woman from the island on Saturday, rescuers dug into mud for a second day today. The woman's husband is also missing. "We're still searching with our hearts broken," local mayor Giacomo Pascale said, because among the missing are also minors.'

No deaths had been reported as of yet, according to Italy's Interior Minister Matteo Salvini, who said eight people had died early in the morning. In the early hours of Saturday, torrential rain flooded Casamicciola Terme, one of the island's six small towns, causing major floods that destroyed buildings and turned streets on the island into rivers. 'At the time there are no confirmed deaths,' Interior Minister Matteo Piantedosi said from the firefighters' emergency coordination center. Speaking to reporters at the unveiling of a subway extension in Milan, Mr Salvini, the infrastructure minister, announced eight deaths earlier. At least 12 people were missing, according to the prefecture of the Naples region, which includes Ischia. A video from the island shows paths that the landslides had cut down slopes, leaving behind traces of mud. The island was impassable, and mayors had advised people to stay at home. At least 100 people were reported dead, including at least 100.

The Ocean Viking docked at Toulon, southern California, after Rome refused to allow it access under a new government regime that allows only those identified as vulnerable to disembark. Matteo Piantedosi, the Italian interior minister, is shaming non-governmental groups for long accused of encouraging people trafficking in the central Mediterranean Sea. The organizations dispute the allegation. The new government has stated that the countries whose flags the charity-run ships fly must accept the migrants.
