European Parliament

Italy's parliament has approved a law paving the way for the country's return to nuclear power, decades after Italy abandoned it following referendums influenced by the 1986 Chernobyl disaster. The move would allow new nuclear technology to be developed or adopted, reversing a long-standing ban. Supporters frame it as key to energy security and climate goals, while critics recall Italy's anti-nuclear history.

Villa Europa, the European Union's diplomatic venue in Rome, welcomed French mathematician and politician Cedric Villani for a visit. Villani, a Fields Medal winner and former member of the French parliament, has been active in European policy debates. Details of the meetings or events held during his stay have not been made public.
