Leftwing populist opposition 5-Star
Movement (M5S) leader Giuseppe Conte, a former premier, on
Thursday called for Premier Giorgia Meloni to debate all the
other main party leaders after her scheduled May 23 debate with
Democratic Party leader Elly Schlein was scrubbed on equal time
issues, with independent broadcaster La7 having offered to host
such a wider debate.
"Dear Giorgia, what will you do now?" he asked, saying he was
"sorry" that it had taken a ruling by media watchdog AGCOM to
cancel the two-way debate.
"Will you now pull back from a debate with me and the other
leaders. Come on, come to Mentana," he said, referring to
veteran La7 anchor and host Enrico Mentana.
