20.05.2025Day Palm Print Revealed Truth While Vatican Peace Path Opened
The Trump-Putin call from yesterday continued dominating morning coverage, with Putin rejecting an immediate ceasefire but expressing willingness to negotiate. Trump suggested the Vatican as a potential venue for peace talks.

By midday, Italy's abstention from the WHO pandemic agreement emerged as a significant stance, with officials citing "state sovereignty" concerns.

The Garlasco murder case took center stage in the afternoon when Alberto Stasi appeared for questioning while newly indicted Andrea Sempio failed to show up. His lawyer provocatively posted "Hard fight without fear" on social media. The case dramatically escalated when media revealed prosecutors found Sempio's palm print near Chiara Poggi's body—evidence apparently overlooked for 18 years.

By evening, Prime Minister Meloni called Pope Leone XIV, who confirmed the Vatican's readiness to host Russia-Ukraine negotiations, formalizing Trump's suggestion from yesterday.

Leone XIV ha subito riposizionato la politica estera del Vaticano in Ucraina e Medio Oriente. Sul primo fronte risulta superata “l’equivicinanza” tra Mosca e Kiev, che Francesco aveva strenuamente, soffertamente mantenuto. Sul secondo fronte appare recuperato il rapporto ai minimi storici con Israele e prontamente risollevato dalla “lettera agli ebrei”, pur continuando, nondimeno, a denunciare l’immane tragedia di Gaza

Leggendo l’ultimo libro di Omri Bohem, filosofo detestato da Netanyahu e disinvitato dall’ultima commemorazione di Buchenwald. L’idea che la Shoah sia un macigno che limita lo sguardo alla pura sopravvivenza, e gli preclude l’universalismo dei diritti. Lo stesso vale per i palestinesi (e poi molto, molto altro).

La virologa a Huffpost: "È stato declassato rispetto alle aspettative iniziali, perché è saltata la parte sull'obbligo di condivisione di informazioni se uno Stato isola un virus potenzialmente pandemico. Detto questo l'Oms non può imporre lockdown, non ha senso che il governo invochi la sovranità degli Stati, qui si tratta di coordinare la reazione internazionale a una pandemia"

Bruxelles va oltre il patto Meloni-Rama. Li chiama “trasferimenti”, ma di fatto sono deportazioni nei paesi terzi sicuri, anche se il richiedente asilo non ha legami con quel territorio o non ci è passato per arrivare in Europa. Basta che uno Stato membro abbia un accordo bilaterale sulla base delle sue leggi nazionali. Solo un anno fa, l’ex commissaria Johansson giurava: “Non lo faremo mai”
