First three-party reunion of the center-right at Villa Grande, new base of Silvio Berlusconi in Rome, after the farewell to Palazzo Grazioli, last year. Matteo Salvini and Giorgia Meloni they reached the home on the Appia Antica, where the leader of the League had already been a guest on 10 February.
An interview organized after consultations with Mario Draghi, for give life to the center-right axis of government, having taken note of Giorgia Meloni’s no to the government led by the former head of the ECB. In fact, the leader of Fdi was the great absentee of that meeting, while today she sets foot for the first time in what was once the director’s home Franco Zeffirelli, now back in the availability of Berlusconi. Silvio Berlusconi and Giorgia Meloni remained in conversation after Matteo Salvini left the villa.

The president of the Brothers of Italy spent about half an hour in conversation with the former premier, after Matteo Salvini had left Villa Grande. At the beginning of the summit, however, it was Salvini who arrived about twenty minutes before Meloni at Berlusconi’s house. Meloni also left the villa without making any statements.
Center-right, the joint statement
“Cordial meeting between Silvio Berlusconi, Giorgia Meloni and Matteo Salvini at Villa Grande in Rome. In a climate of maximum collaboration, after a careful examination of the electoral results and the causes that determined them, the leaders of the center have established that, now forward, they will have periodic meetings – on a weekly basis – to agree on shared parliamentary actions.
With this same spirit, the center-right intends to move compactly and in time to prepare the next electoral and political appointments, with particular attention the election of the next President of the Republic. The center-right intends to continue working as a coalition and has consequently confirmed its own unwillingness to support a proportional change in the electoral law. “
There are three key points that emerge from the joint statement released after the summit between the three leaders of the Center-right. The first is that of weekly meetings “to agree on shared parliamentary actions” and responds to Salvini’s need to avoid other ‘pitfalls’ in the Chamber, such as no-confidence motions to unwelcome ministers or agendas on hot topics such as the Green Pass that the League would theoretically support but not it may be within the Draghi government.
The second point reads “the center-right intends to move compactly and in time to prepare the next electoral and political appointments, with particular attention to the election of the next President of the Republic”.
Translation: all the center-right will support compact at least in the first Berlusconi votes as President of the Republic. Then there will hardly be the numbers to elect him, but at least the honor to arms and the gesture will be as much on the part of the League as on the part of FdI (it will be necessary to see what the ‘little ones’ of the Center-right will do like Coraggio Italia by Toti and Brugnaro and the UDC).
The third point, which meets Meloni’s request, is “The center-right intends to continue working as a coalition and has consequently confirmed its unwillingness to support a change in proportional electoral law“.
Extremely important issue because if Forza Italia does not support the proportional hypothesis, which the Pd and M5S like, as well as Renzi and the centrists, the hypothesis of the blue scales and hands-free in the next Parliament is no longer valid. the unity of the coalition, fundamental with the current electoral law, the Rosatellum, which provides for single-member constituencies.
