- 2024 January 24, Session of Parliament, spoken by Elly Schlein:
- Avete fatto cassa tagliando sui disabili. Il suo capogruppo si permette di fare battute sulla sanità mentale che è un dramma che riguarda tantissimi italiani, tantissimi giovani che chiedono supporto a cui voi date la sberla della vostra indifferenza.
- You made hay by cutting funding for the disabled. How dare your leader ridicule mental health, which is a tragedy that affects many Italians, many young people who are asking for help, and you slap them in the face with your indifference.
