7 June, by Dave Kellaway, Sinistra AnticapitalistaItaly votes this weekend in 5 referendums. Four are all about the existing restrictive, anti-working class labour laws and one is about the length of time involved in claiming citizenship. Meloni’s post-fascist led government defends the repressive labour legislation and the current citizenship law which means you have to have lived in Italy for 10 years before becoming Italian. A Yes in the referendum would halve that period.

2 September 2021, by Kunal Chattopadhyayread article...With quite some time having elapsed since the election results to the West Bengal Assembly were announced on 2 May, we need to start by providing a bird’s eye view of the results before probing into details.
