We need more checks, not more penalties. Salvini’s Highway Code is an exaggeration

The Northern League minister dreamed of punishing drunk and drugged driving, but he discovered that the sanctions already existed, while the checks did not. Thus the bill becomes a set of redundant measures

Matthew Salvini he didn’t take it well. Thursday’s postponement of the cabinet meeting forced him to postpone a press conference he cared about very much.

A bombastic label for a bill of 18 articles that introduces some innovations, but has very little revolutionary.
