Controversy at the Marcinelle Commemoration: Accusations Between Meloni and Cgil

During the commemoration of Marcinelle, Meloni called the gesture by Cgil "serious and shameful," accusing the union of showing disdain for institutions. In response, Cgil Secretary Maurizio Landini stated that they never turn a blind eye, labeling the accusations as lies.

The Belgian union FGTB claimed responsibility for the protest, stating that they were the ones who turned away during the reading of Mattarella's speech, emphasizing their opposition to the far-right and the FdI party. Meloni reiterated the seriousness of the situation, while Landini defended Cgil's position.
