What’s on the front page of La Repubblica?
The front page of La Repubblica this morning 25/11/2024 reports that the Constituent Assembly confirms the former prime minister as leader of the Movement. The guarantor and the limit of two mandates have been abolished. The founder: “From Franciscans to Jesuits”. Yes to alliances on the left but applause to anti-migrant appeals.
The front page’s main image reports on Italy winning the Davis Cup. “The Davis Cup remains in Italy for the second consecutive year. Italy is here to stay.”
The paper also features a story by the sister of a murdered woman. “It has many forms, it can be physical, psychological, economic. It cuts across territories, social classes, nationalities and ages. It is the violence with which man exercises the will to possess and abuse women. And it does not depend only on the men who practice it, but also on the economic and social context that perpetuates it, motu proprio, for a long time, during which male domination has become articulated and stratified and female discrimination has not been eradicated.”
‘Russia launches record number of drones’ & ‘French mass rape trial concludes’ & ‘Merkel releases highly anticipated memoir’ – Paper Talk Europe
Russia’s record bombing of Ukraine leads much of the bloc’s major news sites this morning as Ukraine’s air force says it has shot down 76 Russian drones in 17 regions, whilst another 95 were lost from their radars or downed by electronic jamming defensive systems in overnights attacks.
Former German chancellor Angela Merkel also dominates much of the European news. A formidable feature of European politics, Merkel served Germany for 16 years. Today, her memoir Freedom is released. The highly anticipated memoir confronts criticisms of her policies on Russia and migration, which some say left Germany overly dependent on Russian gas and has fueled the rise of the far right in the Deutschland.
The conclusion of the mass rape trial in France finds plenty of space as prosecutors demand the maximum sentence for Gisèle Pelicot’s ex-husband and women around the world protesting for an end to violence against women. Much of the European media – including the UK – are running various campaigns and stories around violence towards women, sexual assault and calls for governments to do better.
