Overview
- The Chamber of Deputies held a commemoration requested by Fratelli d’Italia floor leader Galeazzo Bignami, turning a planned tribute into a contentious debate.
- Right-wing deputies, including Alessandro Amorese and Riccardo Molinari, framed the remembrance as a defense of free expression and voiced solidarity with law enforcement.
- Bignami pressed Interior Minister Matteo Piantedosi to brief Parliament on recent pro-Palestine demonstrations reported in 81 Italian cities, highlighting serious unrest in Milan.
- Riccardo Ricciardi of M5S accused the majority of using Kirk’s killing for propaganda, while PD’s Gianni Cuperlo condemned the murder but argued Kirk should not be elevated as a symbol, citing his controversial remarks.
- Minister Luca Ciriani stood by his reference to a Red Brigades-like climate, and despite boos and sharp exchanges the session remained verbal without devolving into a brawl.
