Justice Minister Carlo Nordio and
Interior Minister Matteo Piantedosi will report to the Senate
Wednesday on the case of Libyan official Osama Almasri.
The Senate session will be broadcast live on television,
contrary to the House session scheduled to take place earlier in
the day, parliamentary sources said Tuesday.
The decision was announced after a meeting of party whips in the
Senate, as reported by centre-right Forza Italia (FI) party whip
Maurizio Gasparri.
Nordio and Piantedosi are also scheduled to adress the Lower
House at 12:15 on Wednesday.
However, the House session will not be broadcast on television
as had been requested by centre-left opposition members.
The Minister for Relations with Parliament Luca Ciriani said the
live broadcast, which needs a unanimous vote to be approved, was
not favoured by some members of the ruling coalition.
