What is happening
Meloni called for a limit on the number of foreign students per class. She said that children in Italy should not feel like a minority and that people should attend school with their faces uncovered. She accused Schlein of lacking “real arguments” to attack her. Schlein responded by asking Meloni to say when the measure would be voted on. Meloni also said that a comment by Antonio Tajani about women had “come out badly.”
Why is it on the Radar?
The statements place the number of foreign students in classrooms and face-covering rules at the center of a political exchange between Meloni and Schlein. The source reports a proposal and opposing statements, not an enacted measure.
