Rome, 24 February (LaPresse) – ‘The technical report’ on equal leave "arrived this morning at the Budget Committee, just in time to scupper the bill. This is not the first time this has happened; we have shown our willingness to discuss funding. We are here together to ask them to reconsider and stop before the bill is definitively buried in the chamber. We ask President Meloni to stop or at least take responsibility for telling us why not." So said PD secretary Elly Schlein during a press conference in the Chamber of Deputies with all the opposition leaders.
