Italy is not on sale for cheap, centre-left opposition Democratic Party (PD) leader Elly Schlein said Monday calling on the government to report to parliament on a rumoured 1.5 billion euro deal to let Elon Musk's SpaceX Starlink satellite system take over the management of Italy's telecoms security.
    "Don't think you can get away with a few lines entrusted to the press agencies and friendly newspapers," Schelin said referring to Premier Giorgia Meloni, who is a personal friend of world's richest man and X and Tesla owner Musk, US President-elect Donald Trump's new efficiency czar.
    "Giorgia Meloni and her government should come immediately to report to Parliament on the negotiations with Musk," Schelin went on.
    "If 1.5 billion of Italian money to bring the satellites of the American billionaire to our country is the price we have to pay for his friendship, we are not going to accept it, Italy is not selling out".
