“Clearly, Berlusconi can no longer hold his majority together. It is a whole political phase that is coming to an end, for better or for worse. You see, Berlusconism has always been founded on ‘I am in charge here’. Now, given that the break with Fini is serious and that in the relationship with the Lega it is no longer the Cavaliere who has the ball in his hand, that method no longer works.”

“Cosa nostra of Sicily and the 'ndrangheta of Calabria have from time immemorial and consistently to this day nurtured and cultivated a heightened interest in Freemasonry. [...] On the part of the Masonic associations, there has been a sort of surrender to the mafia. It is the cases, certainly the most recurrent, in which a form of mere tolerance is found that prove to be the most worrying.”

“Berlusconi has changed Italy a lot, but as far as I am concerned he has not changed it for the better, mainly because he has cleared certain attitudes towards women, money, and the sense of institutions. Berlusconi had a patronising attitude with all things in the world, such as women, politics, power, the relationship between public and private. He had a patrimonial relationship with all things and with all people around him. And that was unacceptable to me.”

Rosy Bindi (born 1951) wikiquote, CC BY-SA 4.0 source
“To the Pd, however, I reproach it for being too flat on supporting the Draghi government. It was right to support him, but it was necessary to be able to make it understood that the project of the left that was running to govern the country had another vision.”

“[...] I would like us to overcome the two specular vices of the Italian Left: that of division and the minority and group tendency, and that of subalternity to the dominant liberalism thought imbued with manias of governmentalism.”

“(About the supply of weapons to Ukraine following the Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022) If I had been in parliament, I would have voted to send weapons, at least at the beginning, because an attacked country must be helped to defend itself.”

“(On the Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022) [...] these seven months of war tell us that the longer it goes on, the more complicated the road to a ceasefire and a possible understanding becomes. [...] I know that sitting at the table with the aggressor is repugnant, but compromise is also sought with the aggressor.”

“The first results of our work show that among the names of the members of the Masonic Lodges of Calabria and Sicily, there are some who have been sentenced for 416 bis, i.e. for mafia association, and a considerable number of judicial situations in progress, defendants, remanded for trial, both of mafia crimes and of what we commonly call the spy crimes of mafia behaviour or in any case of collusion with the mafia. [...] For us, this investigation is very important, especially because we are talking about a sort of new mafia organisation that brings together pieces of the mafia, pieces of Freemasonry, the State, and the ruling classes of our country.”

“The National Mourning for Berlusconi is inappropriate and misplaced. [...] I think that national mourning should be reserved for personalities who have united the country and not for those who have divided it, for people who have distinguished themselves for particular achievements, for personalities of art and culture, for those who have sacrificed their lives for the country. But I find national mourning inappropriate for a Prime Minister who was much loved but who was also capable of not being loved by others. And who was divisive on fundamental issues, such as the sense of institutions, respect for the Constitution, respect for women, the country's image around the world. Why the national mourning? Why should all the country's institutions have a flag at half-mast and Parliament be stopped? [...] We are in a phase of sanctification, carried out by its TV stations but also by RAI, which is not good for the country and does not correspond to the truth.”
