Overview
- Speaking at a Confedilizia event in Naples, Matteo Salvini said he is pressing to extend immediate eviction powers from only a first home already allowed by law to all properties occupied illegally, arguing it would reassure landlords.
- The package is expected to reach the Council of Ministers next week, with a decree law slated to boost police operations, potentially extend restricted ‘red zones’, and expand urban security cameras.
- Key provisions would be routed through a companion bill, with the government dividing urgent steps into the decree and placing the main measures in the longer legislative track.
- League leaders quickly backed the tougher stance, while Forza Italia senator Roberto Rosso pointed to his Senate proposal in the same direction and signaled openness to incorporating it into a decree.
- Tommaso Foti said a separate bill to accelerate court-ordered evictions is under technical review, outlining a draft with evictions starting after 10 days and execution within 30, as tenants’ union Sunia urged rental support funding and the government cited about €4 billion for public and social housing with 70,000–80,000 properties targeted for recovery.
