The focus is on engaging participating countries in a collaborative and operational effort that will come to fruition for the Expo. Finally, the Rome 2030 logo: it’s a stylized arch, which changes colour to gives rise to an infinite series of combinations. Italy represents today for Libya a gateway for Europe and after 2030 even more so.

The government of Fathi Bashagha, designated by the House of Representatives, has authorized permit for an anti-corruption protest in Benghazi next Friday, September 30. This comes in light of the public release of an audit report by Libyan Audit Bureau, which documents misuse of public funds by the Tripoli-based government led by Bashagha’s rival Abdul Hamid Dbeibeh in 2021. Dbeibeh’s government had refused to give permit to a similar protest, which was scheduled to take place in Tripoli last Friday.
But Meloni’s victory does spell an important landmark in the long march of the Italian right-wing towards political respectability. This includes Italy and Meloni’s party.”Moreover, surveys show that the Italian people, like the Maltese, realise the huge added value of European cooperation. One of the major concerns is that hard right government in Italy would trigger migration standoffs which soured relations with Italy whenever the far right was in government. For Sammut, Meloni personifies European resentment towards the failures of the left and its disconnection from the masses. “Her blunt opposition to political correctness coloured her profile as nemesis of the political establishment,” Sammut notes.
What we are seeing effectively is the Supreme Court becoming completely politicized and completely becoming part of the conflict,” said Jalel Harchaoui, associate fellow at the Royal United Services Institute and leading expert on Libya. He told Al-Monitor, “Now you have effectively a Supreme Court president recognized by Tripoli and another one who just got designated by Saleh.”The Supreme Court is the highest judicial authority in Libya’s four-tier court system, and as such acts as the court of last appeal in legal matters, according to a report on the Libyan legal system published by New York University. The Supreme Court is composed of several chambers and, most importantly, has jurisdiction as a constitutional court. Reacting to the parliament’s move, the CDA declared in April that the chamber’s decision was not constitutional, and called on the Supreme Court to reactivate its constitutional circuit to examine it. Redoubling its bid, the parliament ordered in early September that the Supreme Court should begin sitting in the eastern city of al-Bayda instead of Tripoli.
