Italy's Culture Minister Fires Aides Over Funding Scandal
Description
Italys Culture Minister Alessandro Giuli dismisses two top aides amid controversy over blocked funding for a documentary about Giulio Regeni, a student tortured and killed in Egypt. The move comes as the ministry faces internal strife and opposition criticism, with some blaming the chaos on Melonis right-wing governments push to shift cultural institutions away from left-leaning control. The dismissals follow a pattern of controversy at the ministry, including the sacking of a conductor over nepotism claims and the controversial decision to let Russia back into the Venice Biennale art fair amid the Ukraine war.
