Italy: Tourism Minister Santanchè Resigns Amid Fraud Investigation

Italy's Minister of Tourism, Daniela Santanchè, has resigned amid investigations into fraud and false accounting. Her resignation came after Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni requested it 'for reasons of institutional sensitivity'.

Santanchè stated that she 'obeys Meloni,' emphasizing that her criminal record is 'spotless.' Meanwhile, Deputy Minister of Justice Andrea Delmastro also resigned, intensifying the climate of political turmoil.

These developments come after the government coalition's defeat in the recent referendum on judicial reform.
