Singapore's Silicon Box announced plans to construct a $3.5b AI chip factory in Italy, amidst increasing demands from Giorgia Meloni's hard-right government for a larger share of investments by chipmaker STMicroelectronics in Italy, highlighting tension over business ties with France. Concurrently, Italy is engaging in discussions with China's Chery Auto to potentially establish another major car manufacturing plant, aiming to boost its automotive industry alongside Stellantis. Additionally, Italy is facing internal challenges, as prisoners in Parma are on a hunger strike protesting poor sanitation and overcrowding, prompting the government to propose controversial prison reforms. These reforms, considered unparalleled in Western democracies, could criminalize peaceful protests, intensifying debates on civil liberties.
