Giorgia Meloni arrived in Abruzzo in the evening, her constituency: the speech she will make is awaited to announce, in all likelihood, that her name will be the leader in all the constituencies. But Matteo Salvini will not be there and he made it known, with an update to his agenda, that he will be connected by video
Instead there will be others, from Lorenzo Cesa and Maurizio Lupi to Antonio Tajani, who is also running and who will then stop to present the FI candidates in Abruzzo.
No surprise, it was known from the beginning because the leader of the League had “mandatory” personal commitments, both sides said. But it was not specified at the presentation of the event and the announcement comes a few hours after the closing, to which Meloni wanted to invite all the allied leaders. An absence of those that still make noise After the thrust of the minister Guido Crosetto no one in Pescara is exaggerating too much, while the images of the numerous panels on all topics, from the electoral campaign from the birth rate to the Mattei Plan, scroll on the giant screens.
And then there are the various cases that have broken out: from the words of Tommaso Foti on student protests in universities
against the agreements with Israeli universities (“mostly those who are out of course”, perhaps “it was better to send them out to dig?” asks the Fdi group leader in the Chamber) which trigger the response of the students (“in democracies protests and critical debate must be on the agenda”); passing through the photos of public managers immortalized with Fdi t-shirts with the slogan “Italy changes Europe”. After a debate on foreign policy, the president of Leonardo Stefano Pontecorvo and the head of the Cybersecurity Agency Bruno Frattasi smile on stage next to Crosetto. But the photo will also be there for the CEO of Fincantieri Pierroberto Folgiero while Claudio Descalzi, CEO of Eni, will avoid the shot, holding the t-shirt which is also delivered to him tightly closed in his hand. “Sterile controversy” of the left, comments the head of the Fdi organization Giovanni Donzelli, recalling the ritual in Atreju of giving t-shirts to all the participants, “even to well-known exponents of the Democratic Party, who thank goodness did not join Fdi for this reason” . And Defense Minister Crosetto also explains on X: “A debate on the Europe of Defence. I can send my photos to the Festival dell’Unità to talk about defense a few years ago with the minister in charge of the Democratic Party. At the end, ritual photo with the event t-shirt.”
Once the programmatic insights have been concluded, however, now it will be the leader’s turn. Superstitionally, no one confirms his candidacy but everyone hopes and believes so. In any case, Meloni will make a speech entirely focused on the “concrete” results achieved by the government in the first 18 months and will mark the opening of the electoral campaign for the vote on 8 and 9 June also in Mayor Masci’s Pescara: he could participate to another major event to close the electoral campaign and to little else, says those who have spoken to her in recent days, also because she does not want to give the impression of neglecting her first commitment, which is that of the government, in the weeks in which she enters The Italian presidency of the G7 is also in full swing. The campaign will be addressed to ministers, parliamentarians and leaders of the
party, which could reproduce the scheme of the various Pescara panels in the territories.
