Overview

• The Chamber authorized a seduta fiume by an 88-vote margin on Fratelli d’Italia’s request, with the final vote set for no earlier than Thursday at 12:00.
• Majority lawmakers registered 13 speakers for the general debate, a delaying tactic described by Italian media as self‑obstruction to compensate for absences.
• Opposition figures, including PD’s Chiara Braga and M5S’s Riccardo Ricciardi, condemned the decision and accused the majority of fixing the timetable around a Marche rally.
• Following the vote to open the continuous session, the Giunta per le autorizzazioni meeting on the Almasri case was postponed.
• The bill is a constitutional reform at its third reading in Montecitorio and, as opposition deputies noted, requires an absolute majority at this stage.
