The Meloni government seems to be closer to the finish line after yesterday’s meeting between Silvio Berlusconi and the new prime minister in pectore: a clarifying face to face, in which the founder and leader of Forza Italia would seem to have definitively recognized the new balance of power at the inside the center right. The joint statement at the end of the talks at the Via della Scrofa headquarters puts (at least for now) aside disagreements and controversies but above all highlights how the coalition will present itself as President Mattarella united. Today deputies and senators are called to vote to elect the group leaders of the parliamentary groups and the leader of Forza Italia, in a note, indicated “Alessandro Cattaneo blue group leader in the Chamber e Licia Ronzulli in the Senate “. Meanwhile, the last pieces on the totominister front remain to be defined, and the main issue seems to be linked to the Justice Department: Berlusconi insists on Casellati, Meloni would prefer Nordio. Stormy air, on the other hand, among the oppositions struggling with the vice-presidencies of the Chambers: Action denounces what it considers a real abuse by the Pd and 5Stelle and announces through its leader Calenda that he will not participate in the votes
