    • 2023, Session of Parliament, spoken by Giuseppe Conte:
      Ebbene li avete illusi perché li avete anche insultati, chiamandoli divanisti — hai detto che non volevano lavorare. Dopo nove mesi, ministra Calderoni, abbiamo scoperto che chi non vuole lavorare è questo governo che non ha fatto nulla. Divanisti siete voi.
      Well you deceived them because you insulted them, calling them couch potatoes — you said that they did not want to work. After nine months, Secretary Calderoni, we discovered that it is this government who does not want to work — which has not done anything. You are the real couch potatoes.
