A right-wing senator, Giuseppe Moles, who is the member of right-wing party Forza Italia, has shot a sexist remark against Italian Education Minister Lucia Azzolina, who is the member of anti-establishment Five Star Party – which recently entered the corridor of power as a collation partner of the ruling government.

The senators of the anti-establishment party have asserted that the right-wing leader should apologize to the Italian minister.

The Italian government has offered special protection to the minister. The government has also extended protection to some rightist senators.

The Italian coalition government is at the brink of collapse. The present government is the mixture of some contradictory parties.

The present crisis has further reduced the strength of the Italian coalition government. It may even push the coalition to the state of complete disaster.

The economy of Italy urgently needs the support of the government.

An aid worker from the European country of Italy, Silvia Romano who was kidnapped in the African country of Kenya in late 2018, has returned back to her home country, as she has secured freedom from those who curbed her freedom illegally for her.

The liberated woman has received a huge reception at the airport. She has been greeted even by Italian prime minister and foreign minister.

The airport has also witnessed a very emotional reunion of her family.

She was under the custody of al-Shabab, a terrorist group which is active in several regions across the continent of Africa.

Her liberation has been materialized by a joint operation carried out by Italian secret service along with Turkey and Somalia.

Anyway, the terror group has not claimed the responsibility for the act of abduction – which happened nearly 18 months ago.

There are many reasons to believe that the terror organisation is behind the attack.

The organisation is very active in the region. It has carried out several terror operations in the region, including the Nairobi hotel and office complex attack – in which 21 innocent people lost their lives.

The European country of Italy, which is under lockdown like many other countries in this part of the world, has announced its plan to launch an exit plan.

Italian Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte, through his social media post, has assured to release the plan this week.

Mr. Conte has used his Facebook handle to publicise his plan to launch the exit plan aimed to bring everything back to normal.

From the post, it can be assumed that the country will seek the advice of all stakeholders – especially scientific experts – to develop the policy.

A statement in the post reads: a reasonable expectation is that the country will apply it from May 4.

Italy is one of the worst affected countries in the continent of Europe, as well as in the world. Italy has suffered over 24,114 deaths due to the virus outbreak, which is the highest recorded death toll in the continent.

Anyway, the new indices are favorable to the country.

The country has passed its peak. It is slowly coming back to normal.

The bold post of the PM indicates that the country – which has suffered a lot due to the outbreak – at present is confident enough to think of an exit plan.

The EU has expressed its apology to the European country of Italy for the improper way it responded to the member country when the country required support in the initial stage of the Coronavirus outbreak.

The EU Commission President, Ursula von der Leyen, has extended a wholehearted apology to Italy, while she was speaking at the European Union Parliament.

In her statement, the President has recognised the improper way the union behaved in the initial stage of the virus outbreak.

Italy has welcomed the statement made by the EU Commission leader. The country has termed the statement as the recognition of truth.

Earlier, Italy expressed serious dissatisfaction over the way the EU reacted when they sought for the support of the union.

It even warned that the EU’s inability to address the crisis would question the sustainability of the union in the future.

Italy is one of the worst affected country in the continent of Europe. As many as 21,000 persons have lost their lives in the country so far due to the virus outbreak.

Though it is a late admission, the statement made by the EU may help the union overcome the ire it has faced for its irresponsible reaction.

Most affected countries want the EU to take up the task of mitigating the economic impact caused by the virus outbreak, though some prime EU powers are not a fan of that idea.

Shortly after the European Commission advised its members countries to prepare a road map to return to normal, the European countries of Austria and Italy have eased certain restrictions they imposed to contain the spread of Covid-19.

As certain restrictions have been removed, several shops have reopened in Austria, as well as in Italy – which is one of the worst affected regions in the continent.

Though some restrictions have been removed, the countries have not decided to give any relaxation of the matter of social distancing.

The shops, which has benefited from the relaxation, have been directed to maintain the measures necessary to avoid the spread of virus.

In Italy alone, over 20,000 people have lost their lives due to the disease outbreak – which originated in the Asian region of China.

Austria, though better than Italy, is far away in this matter.

Both countries have avoided their worst-hit regions from the scope of the relaxation they have announced.

Meanwhile, the European country of Denmark has also hinted its intention to bring some serious changes on its restrictions.

It has recently allowed its schools to reopen.

The country has already clarified that it might be able to return to normal much earlier than expected.

The Greifswald Higher Court situated in the eastern part of Germany has found the regional government’s travel ban as disproportionate in curbing people’s local freedom.

The court has ordered that locals in that region can go to the popular Baltic coast this Easter weekend.

The ruling means despite the coronavirus lockdown the locals in this part of Germany can spent this Eater weekend on beaches.

Notably, the Germans from other regions lacks this freedom.

Interestingly, the Mecklenburg-West Pomerania government has not challenged the decision made by the top court of the region.

It is yet to be seen whether other less affected regions will follow the step taken by this state in this matter in the future.

Anyway, the locals of the region have been advised to stay 2m apart to reduce the threat of the spread of the virus.

Lockdowns are in force across Germany, but the restrictions vary from state to state. The toughest measures have been imposed in Bavaria and the Saarland.

The number of infections in Germany is over 1,18,000 cases and the total death toll is more than 2,600.

Fortunately, the rate is far lower than Italy, Spain and the UK.

A talk convened for European Union finance ministers on how to help those European countries badly affected by the coronavirus epidemic – especially those in the southern region of the continent – have collapsed in the last moment.

As per a latest statement made by the European Central Bank, the European Union may need up to €1.5tn to tackle the crisis.

The talk has stalled as a severe dispute has emerged between the Southern European country of Italy and the Northern European country of the Netherlands – which is comparatively less affected by the epidemic – over how to apply the recovery fund.

As per a latest report, the negotiation process is likely to resume in few hours, as the EU is keen to find a solution to the issue as early as possible.

Earlier, a senior European minister expressed his doubt about the longevity of the economic union. He warned of serious consequences.

The union has not yet responded to any criticism. It has recently reaffirmed its commitment towards its member countries, saying that it would come up with the solution to the present crisis soon.

Whether this crisis will lead to the collapse of the decades-old union is yet to be seen.

The European Court of Justice has pulled up Poland, Hungary and the Czech Republic as It has found these countries have failed to respect the EU law as it has not taken in refugees under an agreement reached by the EU leaders to ease the burden faced by Italy and Greece.

The agreement was supposed to benefit 160,000 refugees – especially those from the embattled country of Syria, and was supposed to bring a huge relief to overcrowded camps in Italy and Greece.

Now, the EU Commission is free to impose fines over these countries for the crimes they have committed by disrespecting the EU law.

The court has declined to accept these countries’ argument that the acceptance of refugees would create huge security issues in their country.

So far, the Czech Republic has accepted not more than 12 of the 2,000 refugees it had been asked to take in, while Hungary and Poland have not taken in a single person yet.
