Giorgia Meloni: Se cadessi, si tornerebbe a votare a causa del governo tecnico
Giorgia Meloni, leader of the right-wing party Fratelli d’Italia, expressed her concerns about a possible “Grand Conspiracy” by a technocratic government. She believes that the recent increase in the spread and the disputes with Germany over NGOs are part of a plan to remove her from Palazzo Chigi, the official residence of the Prime Minister. She expressed these concerns during the EuMed9 summit in Valletta. However, she reassured her supporters that she does not believe in this conspiracy and that Italy remains a strong nation with a higher growth forecast than the European average, France, and Germany.
Behind the scenes, the Prime Minister’s nervousness stems from the memories of 2011 when Silvio Berlusconi’s government fell and the center-right lost the subsequent elections. Meloni’s goal is to last five years in office, but she is aware that if things go wrong, it will be due to concrete reasons and not a conspiracy. She emphasized that the spread, the difference between Italian and German bonds, is now fifty points lower than a year ago. She also stated that she can read politics and reality.
The premier’s strategy is to avoid being undermined by external forces, as she experienced during the Cospito case six months ago. She believes that the strategy of tension, which aims to create instability, should not be exploited. Despite some initial challenges for her government, Meloni remains confident, as the distance between her party and the Democratic Party has increased by 11 points in a year. She believes that if the European elections go badly, it will be the secretary of the Democratic Party who will face consequences. Meloni believes that the “Grand Conspiracy” is orchestrated by the media, powerful forces, and the left. In the event of her government’s fall, she will not support a technocratic government and will call for new elections. This decision has been a key factor in the success of her party.
Overall, Meloni’s strategy is to anticipate and identify her enemies. One day it is Germany, another day it is the newspapers and international finance. However, her deputy secretary, Giovanbattista Fazzolari, dismisses these concerns and sees them as desperate attempts to undermine the government. He likens it to a child’s tantrum. Meloni’s close aides believe that only judges or external factors can lead to their defeat.
