Veneto becomes the first Italian center-right region to approve assisted suicide law

Euronews Portugal2 September 2026 at 19:31

The Veneto region, in northern Italy, became the first Italian region governed by center-right forces to approve a law on medically assisted suicide. This decision represents a significant shift in the traditional political position of Italian right-wing forces regarding this issue.

The law approved by Veneto establishes specific deadlines and defines local rules for the application of assisted suicide in the region. These regulations govern the procedure for patients who wish to use this medical option.

The Italian context is marked by an intense debate on the topic of assisted suicide. This approval by Veneto may influence the positioning of other Italian regions and pave the way for similar discussions in other parts of the country.

Motion of censure by CDS-PP to the Government in 1994 was only debated after parliamentary holidays

In 1994, CDS-PP presented a motion of censure to the Government that was only debated after parliamentary holidays, based on an opinion from the Committee on Constitutional Affairs. Since then, no party has presented a motion of censure during the holiday period -- a situation that changed when Chega delivered a motion of censure to the Assembly of the Republic against the PSD/CDS-PP Government of Luís Montenegro, motivated by the controversies surrounding the Executive.

Aguiar-Branco calls extraordinary leaders' conference for Thursday to decide date of Chega's motion of censure

The president of the Assembly of the Republic, José Pedro Aguiar-Branco, called an extraordinary leaders' conference for Thursday to decide the date of the debate and vote on the motion of censure that Chega submitted to the Government. The motion, titled "For the end of a Government without political authority, incapable of assuming responsibilities and guaranteeing trust in institutions," was submitted by the party during the parliamentary recess. Aguiar-Branco highlighted that the decision on the date is necessary because parliament only fully resumes on September 15. Chega's leader, André Ventura, justified the motion as a censure of the prime minister and the Government for maintaining Luís Neves as minister of Internal Administration. According to the Rules of Procedure, the debate begins on the third parliamentary day following the submission of the motion.
