19.12.2024The Day Putin Opened While Pelicot Justice Closed
The morning media focused on protests against Israel's Yemen strikes and MSF's accusations of ethnic cleansing in Gaza. By midday, attention shifted to Putin's annual press conference, where he claimed military advances and expressed willingness to negotiate with both Trump and a "re-elected" Zelensky - a statement later walked back.

The Avignon court delivered its verdict in the decade-long Pelicot case, sentencing the ex-husband to 20 years and convicting 50 co-defendants, though feminist groups protested the perceived leniency. The budget law faced procedural delays at the Chamber, with government absence causing temporary suspension.

Evening news centered on a family tragedy in Florence, where carbon monoxide claimed four lives, while markets closed negatively following Fed announcements. The Scialdone femicide case concluded with a life sentence for the perpetrator.

Il Manifesto
