Craxi's daughter elected Senate foreign panel chair

(ANSA) - ROME, MAY 18 - The daughter of late disgraced Socialist leader and former premier Bettino Craxi was elected chair of the Senate foreign affairs committee after the previous chair was expelled by his party for campaigning against arms to Ukraine.
    Stefania Crazi, a member of three-time ex-premier and media mogul Silvio Berlusconi's centre-right Forza Italia (FI) party, was elected to replace the anti-establishment 5-Star Movement's (M5S) Vito Petrocelli, who aroused controversy by clinging to his post while advocating strongly against sending arms to Kyiv.
    Craxi, whose father died in exile from a Bribesville corruption conviction in Tunisia in 2000, got 12 votes, beating the M5S's Ettore Licheri into second with nine.
    FI and its rightwing ally the League hailed the result of the vote while the M5S convened an extraordinary meeting of its national council to assess relations between the many parties in Premier Mario Draghi's national unity government. (ANSA).
