MADRID, 5 Oct. (EUROPA PRESS) –
The leader of the Brothers of Italy, Giorgia Meloni, met this Wednesday with the executive of the far-right party to analyze possible scenarios after the recent electoral victory, from which a commission to form a government will predictably come out in the middle of this month.
Meloni, who for now remains silent on the composition of his hypothetical cabinet, is forced to distribute posts with his partners in the League, headed by Matteo Salvini, and Forza Italia, the party founded by Silvio Berlusconi. All parties appeal to informative prudence, in the face of increasingly recurrent rumours.
The head of the parliamentary group of Brothers of Italy, Francesco Lollobrigida, ruled out on his arrival at the meeting that it is planned to examine the distribution of portfolios. “If Meloni is commissioned by President (Sergio) Matarella to form a government, he will think in detail who are the best people to hold positions of responsibility,” he said.
The vice president of the Chamber of Deputies, Fabio Rampelli, has argued that “things are going very well” and has avoided assessing a possible veto so that Salvini does not return to the Ministry of the Interior. The League claims this portfolio as a “natural” position of its leader, in the words of Minister Giancarlo Giorgetti, according to the AdnKronos news agency.
Meloni, for his part, would defend his right to appoint people of his choice in weighty portfolios such as Defense and Foreign Affairs, although for the latter Ministry the former president of the European Parliament Antonio Tajani, a member of Forza Italia, also sounds among the candidates.
The debate has also grown around the possible incorporation of technical profiles, mainly in areas of economics, although members of the three allied parties have slipped in the latter that it will be a cabinet with marked political weight and that the incorporation of outsiders will be the exception and not the norm.
