Almost five months have passed since it was approved, but the bicameral commission of inquiry into the Covid-19 pandemic has not yet begun its work due to obstructionism by opposition parties. Only Italia Viva has indicated to the presidents of the Chamber and Senate which of its parliamentarians to appoint as commissioners. In the meantime, on July 9, the Senate group leaders of the Partito Democratico, the Movimento 5 Stelle and the Misto group, which includes Alleanza Verdi-Sinistra and Azione, presented a bill to modify the objectives of the commission of inquiry.
