Centre-left opposition Democratic
Party (PD) leader Elly Schlein said Thursday the right was
demanding the head of Turin's Egyptian Museum, ostensibly over a
discount he gave to Muslim visitors a couple of years ago,
because he was "non-aligned" with the government's alleged
takeover of key cultural positions in Italy.
She cited as examples of the latter the alleged occupation of
state broadcaster Rai, pensions agency INPS and work accident
insurance agency INAIL, as well as the experimental
cinematography centre.
"It is a proprietary conception of the institutions which we
cannot accept," said Schlein, the PD's first woman secretary and
the chief opponent of rightwing Premier Giorgia Meloni, Italy's
first female head of government.
