Overview

• Tajani announced at a Forza Italia event in Telese that his party and the European People’s Party will support revoking Salis’s parliamentary protections, arguing the alleged offenses predate her election.
• The European Parliament’s Legal Affairs (JURI) committee narrowly rejected lifting immunity in a 13–12 vote, with two EPP votes reported as decisive, sending the matter to a full vote on 7 October.
• The Hungarian government escalated its rhetoric, with spokesman Zoltán Kovács calling Salis a dangerous criminal and accusing the Parliament of legitimizing extreme-left terrorism.
• Il Fatto Quotidiano reported Tajani reversed an earlier stance after criticism from coalition partner Lega, while he insisted he would not be intimidated by allies or by Casapound.
• Judge József Sós stated in court that the Hungarian case would be thrown out if the European Parliament confirms Salis’s immunity at the plenary vote.
