The management of the Covid emergency is at the center of a heated political dispute concerning Giuseppe Conte, leader of the Five Star Movement. Conte refuses to resign from the parliamentary inquiry commission, arguing that his hearing as a witness is only possible once a specific date has been agreed upon. However, commission members, including Marco Lisei and Galeazzo Bignami of Brothers of Italy, reiterate that resigning from his position as a member is an indispensable prerequisite for being summoned. While Conte accuses the commission of being a political 'firing squad,' right-wing parliamentarians emphasize the necessity of respecting institutional rules. The Democratic Party has also expressed concern, accusing the right of instrumentalizing the inquiry. The matter remains deadlocked, with the possibility of a hearing being scheduled for September, provided that Conte leaves his current position.
