End of year press conference by Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni
The FdI leader on Affaritaliani.it confirms the government’s compactness. The League moves forward, but the executive is not at risk
“The government at risk for its third mandate is yet another hope of the left that will not be realised.” He states it ad Affaritaliani.it the Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni answering the question whether the executive is in danger following the rejection in the First Commission of the Senate, Constitutional Affairs, of the League’s amendment which would have allowed regional presidents a third mandate. The rejection came with the decisive vote against from Fratelli d’Italia and Forza Italia.
Matteo Salviniknowing perfectly well how the vote would end, he also stated that there will be no consequences for the government but that the League’s battle will continue and therefore it is practically certain that the amendment will be re-presented in the Senate and then also in the Commission Chamber and in the courtroom at Montecitorio.
But as the Prime Minister stated during the conference at the beginning of the year, this is a parliamentary issue that does not concern the government. Words confirmed by today’s statement ad Affaritaliani.it. of the leader of the Brothers of Italy. On the other hand, even sources at the highest levels of the League say that the government is not at risk at all. Now, if anything, in perspective because we are only in February, the challenge will be on candidacy in Veneto in 2025 (Luca Zaia aside), whether it will be up to the League or FdI. Both parties claim the Governor and the results of the European elections on 8-9 June will be decisive for the final decision.
