20 January 2020 The majority will not participate in the meeting or in the vote of the Senate Immunity Committee, convened at 5 pm to vote on the request for authorization to proceed against Matteo Salvini on the Gregoretti case. The majority meeting decided with the group leaders of Pd-M5s and Iv and the members of the Executive. At this point, the final decision will therefore fall to the Chamber on 17 February.

Marcucci: "Unitary decision, convening illegitimate council"
"We have decided in a unitary way that we will not participate in the Board today, we believe it is essential to be together and deliberate in a unitary way". The leader of the Democratic Party in the Senate said Andrea Marcucci, leaving the majority meeting on the Gregoretti case. "This junta is illegitimate, there should not have been - he explained, listing the reasons for the decision - and President Gasparri is not available to give the necessary material to deliberate in science and conscience".

Di Maio: "Salvini from sovereignty to victimization"
On the Gregoretti case "Salvini has gone from sovereignty to victimization, but it is only tactical. Our goal as a parliament must be to work for citizens, the judiciary will deal with the Gregoretti issue. Everyone will take responsibility". This was said by Minister Luigi Di Maio on the sidelines of the EU Foreign Council, on the day of the vote of the Senate for immunity.

League gathered, towards yes in the trial
The members of the League for the elections and immunities of Palazzo Madama are gathered in the seat of the parliamentary group of the Senate to evaluate the behavior to be held in today's meeting of the body, which will have to comment on the authorization to proceed against Matteo Salvini for the Gregoretti affair. There would be no substantial changes and the Northern League, as far as we learn, should vote following what was requested yesterday by their secretary: that is, in favor of the authorization, and against the report drawn up by the President of the Executive, Maurizio Gasparri.

Carfagna: "Wrong but political choice, Fi will say no"
"Forza Italia senators will vote against the authorization to proceed because they believe that it was a political choice made by the whole government and not only by Salvini. Then some of us think that it was a right choice on the merits and others, like me, that it was wrong. " This was said by Mara Carfagna, vice president of the Chamber and deputy of Forza Italia. "Salvini's provocation, which asks the League to vote yes to the authorization, serves to flush out the M5S's shameful attitude. It is foolish to say that Conte knew nothing. Who then governs the country?", Continues Carfagna. "The reality is that we are once again witnessing the use of justice for political purposes, a bad habit that has polluted and destabilized Italian politics many times".
