On March 25, the Democratic Party posted a misleading meme on Instagram to criticize some statements made by the Meloni government, which claimed the results achieved since its establishment.

“We went back to double-check the vote, and all three of us made a mistake in voting.” This is how European Parliament member Cristina Guarda from Europa Verde explained a contradictory vote she and her group colleagues cast in the European Parliament regarding the rearmament plan proposed by the European Commission.
