In a recent episode of the Pulp Podcast, Senate President Ignazio La Russa explained that a coalition with Roberto Vannacci is off the table, aligning his stance with Giorgia Meloni and condemning Vannacci for betraying Matteo Salvini’s confidence. He criticized the left’s opposition to the new electoral law, claiming it avoids tie results that the government seeks to eliminate. La Russa highlighted growing antisemitic incidents, supporting legislation that would punish hate while preserving legitimate political criticism.
