This weekend the Fratelli d’Italia programmatic conference is being held in Pescara and, according to some commentators, Giorgia Meloni could announce her candidacy in the European elections from the final stage.
This weekend Pescara hosts the programmatic conference of Fratelli d’Italia, an event on which this time a broader attention is being concentrated than that of the militants alone: at the closing of the event, in fact, Giorgia Meloni could announce its candidacy in the European elections. The party continues to say that nothing has been decided yet and that the Prime Minister is still thinking about it, but the deadline for submitting the lists is now around the corner and Sunday’s stage seems like the perfect opportunity to announce the race .
From the opposition, Elly Schlein he has already made it known that he will be there and will run as leader of the Democratic Party in the Central constituency and in the Islands. After the announcement of the dem secretary, that of the leader of the Brothers of Italy could also arrive, who since we began talking about the candidacies she has always said that she does not want to back down from the comparison with the consensus of the citizens.
From the majority the secretary of Forza Italia, Antonio Tajani, has made it known that he will be a candidate. “It was right to do it for the voters and for the party leaders“he said. However, he will not be there Matteo Salvini, who explained that he was already quite busy with his role as minister and party secretary. However, he announced that with the League General Roberto Vannacci will be the candidate as leader of the list in the Centre.
Among the non-candidates there is also the leader of the Five Star Movement, Giuseppe Conte, who made it a question of principle. Prominent figures in national politics, whether they have a role in government or in Parliament, clearly will not abandon their duties at home to go to Europe: the candidacy is more than anything else symbolic and a way to bring voters to the polls, given the levels of abstentionism in the latest elections. But for Conte it is more of a deception. Not even the leaders of the Green Alliance and the Left should run for the European elections, but they have announced that Ilaria Salis will be on their list.
