Italian government says it must accept Supreme Court ruling on ex Ilva
On 29 October 2026, Italy's government said it has to accept a Supreme Court ruling on the former Ilva steel plant, which rejected the reasoned conclusions of the Supreme Court's Prosecutor General's Office. Palazzo Chigi said the government would not avoid its responsibilities, pointing to a recently enacted decree-law and a meeting with unions there last week. It also said the ruling's full content still needs careful study.
What does it mean?
The government says a court ruling has made the process around the former Ilva steel plant even harder. The statement does not describe any concrete outcome for the plant or its workers.
Who is affected?
Workers and unions connected to the ex Ilva plant process.
