Overview
- The Regional Council approved a PD motion against Federica Picchi by 44 votes to 23 in a secret ballot.
- Opposition parties cited her Instagram share of content featuring Robert F. Kennedy Jr. that they labeled anti‑vaccine and at odds with regional health policy.
- PD leaders said the result relied on 19 rogue votes from the center‑right, highlighting weaknesses in coalition discipline.
- Arianna Meloni and Giovanni Donzelli met FdI councillors to rally support, but their mediation did not prevent the censure.
- The final decision on removing Picchi from the post rests with President Attilio Fontana, as center‑right figures decried the move as a political attack on free expression.
