Il governo impugna la legge del Veneto sul fine vita, Salvini non vota in Cdm

The Italian government has decided to challenge the Veneto region's end-of-life law, which allows for assisted suicide procedures. This decision was made by the Council of Ministers, with notable absence from Deputy Prime Minister Matteo Salvini during discussions. Minister Roberto Calderoli opposed the challenge, arguing the law merely provides guidelines. Forza Italia's Antonio Tajani emphasized the need for national legislation to avoid conflicting regional laws. Veneto's President Alberto Stefani defended the law, stating it differs significantly from those in other regions and is likely to pass constitutional scrutiny. Former Governor Luca Zaia also supported the regional council's decision.
