Conte defends himself to the Covid Commission of Inquiry: "This is a firing squad. You won't find anything illegal about me"

Former Italian Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte testified before the parliamentary commission investigating the handling of the COVID-19 pandemic, defending his actions during the crisis. He stated that he was unaware of any constitutional imbalances caused by emergency measures and emphasized that interventions were made in accordance with Italy’s Constitution. Conte criticized the commission, calling it a 'death squad' aimed at him while also serving as protection for local administrators from his party. He claimed there is nothing illegal regarding his conduct during the pandemic and announced that he submitted an anonymous 10-page document to Rome prosecutors on Monday, which he believes warrants investigation.
