Italian Senate Approves Fiscal Decree Amidst Tensions in Government Coalition
The Italian Senate voted to renew confidence in the government, approving a fiscal decree with 100 votes in favor and 46 against. This decree will now move to the Chamber of Deputies for further examination. Key issues include funding for political parties and the Rai license fee, where disagreements within the coalition led to a failed amendment. The Senate increased funding for the 2×1000 scheme for 2024, while discussions regarding the Rai fee resulted in significant divisions among coalition parties.
