Sara Guglielmetti A heated episode of "E' sempre Cartabianca" featured Alessandro Sallusti, editor of Libero , connected to Bianca Berlinguer's studio, who responded to Giuseppe Conte's comments. But here's what happened.
It's always Cartabianca, with Giuseppe Conte as guest
In yesterday's episode, Wednesday 21 October 2026, of “ E' sempre Cartabianca ” , broadcast on Rete 4 and hosted by Bianca Berlinguer, the leader of the 5 Star Movement Giuseppe Conte was a guest.
There's been much discussion about what happened in recent weeks, particularly over the weekend in Milan, with protests that escalated into full-blown urban guerrilla warfare. But here are the former prime minister's words: "Here we have four years in which a prime minister doesn't meet anyone, says everything is fine, we're a country of records, and people are becoming poorer at every level.
These kids realize their future won't be their parents'; they'll never be able to overcome and improve their family's well-being. They've lost hope, they suffer from high rents, they don't have the effective right to education. The National Recovery and Resilience Plan (NRRP) was a great opportunity for new student housing, but it was turned into a business opportunity for large corporations.
What are these kids supposed to do? It's obvious they're going out on the streets."
It's Cartabianca again, a live clash between Conte and Sallusti: "Let's not mix up the topics."
As mentioned, Giuseppe Conte was a guest on " E' sempre Cartabianca," where he discussed the student protests. The former prime minister added that he " wasn't justifying the violence ," but went on to attack Meloni and the center-right: "Eight security decrees, four years of government, and the population feels increasingly insecure, because street crime and situations that obviously put personal safety at risk are rampant—we've been saying this for some time. So what's working? What does eight security decrees mean? They've flooded the penal code with new crimes, they've increased penalties. What's not working? It means that this isn't the way, this isn't the direction, because otherwise the issue would have been resolved with the first security decree. Many of these security decrees are issued symbolically to send a propaganda message to public opinion." Alessandro Sallusti , director of Libero , was connected and responded to Conte's statements as follows: " President, let's not mix the arguments."
