The Wall Street Journal crowns Meloni: “Winner and pro Ukraine”
The Wall Street Journal dedicates a focus to Giorgia Meloni, defining it the “expected winner on Sunday” and underlining that, if the polls were confirmed, she would become “the first leading woman in Italy”. Meloni, continues the American business newspaper in an article dedicated to tomorrow’s vote, “is firmly pro-Ukrainian and has tried to broaden the appeal” of the Brothers of Italy by “repositioning it” on “traditional” conservative positions and “this includes the support for Draghi’s stance against Putin “. Furthermore, according to the WSJ, the positions of Fdi – “pro-Ukrainian, anti-immigration and pragmatic on the economy – seem to work” for the former youth minister. “The polls show Meloni’s party comfortably ahead of his center-right allies, Salvini and Berlusconi,” highlights the newspaper.
In short, Meloni’s allies may be uncomfortable but she doesn’t seem to be affected too much on the international stage. An inconvenience on which Repubblica instead focuses, which writes: “It can please Salvini and Berlusconi, displeasing the rest of the world. Or disappoint them, with the risk that they will tear away the ticket of life for Palazzo Chigi”.
Between Viminale and Esteri, Meloni and the delicate push and pull with Salvini and Berlusconi
Starting with Salvini, who would like the Interior Ministry to block the landings. “The leader of the Brothers of Italy believes – indeed, she is certain – that the Colle would never accept this scenario. You would mean going against everyone, Europe and the United States, markets, entrepreneurs, trade unions. She will try to explain it to him, she will tell him that credibility and the face of the premier are at stake on this point, that she cannot go beyond this red line. And this applies to the Interior, but also to the Ministries of Foreign Affairs and Defense: that pending judgment always weighs, and also the geopolitical assessments on Salvini’s relationship with Vladimir Putin’s Russia. He will concede something, hoping it will be enough “.
Also according to Repubblica, Meloni will have to explain to Silvio Berlusconi “that the job of President of the Senate is complex, tiring, even physically burdensome in the daily management of the Chamber. Better to leave it alone. However, there is also something to be conceded here: the presidency of the Chamber to Antonio Tajani. It is an idea that has been taking shape for a few days. First, because it would guarantee Forza Italia – in the polls weaker than the allies – the leadership of a branch of Parliament. Then because Tajani has already been president of the European Parliament. Finally, because Meloni would prefer to assign the foreign ministry not to the force man, but to a figure he knows well (and whom he already sponsored for the Colle): the current head of Dis Elisabetta Belloni “.
