Overview
- Education Minister Giuseppe Valditara directed immediate checks at Liceo Montale in Pontedera and a class at I.C. "Massa 6" after reports on Francesca Albanese’s remote talks during school hours.
- The action follows a formal query by FdI deputy Alessandro Amorese questioning whether the events complied with expectations for impartiality and adversarial balance in schools.
- Local FdI officials allege Albanese called the Meloni government fascist and complicit in genocide, labeled Leonardo a criminal company, and encouraged students to occupy schools, claims the ministry says must be verified.
- The sessions were organized through the Docenti per Gaza network and tied to Albanese’s book "Quando il mondo dorme," with critics asserting the series reached over 150 schools and some 11,000 students.
- Lega and FdI welcomed the inspections, M5S denounced the move as propaganda, and authorities have not released any findings from the verification.
