Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni has begun to seriously consider the possibility of early elections in Italy. Although it is not her "Plan A," the strategy is gaining traction within the leadership of the Brothers of Italy party. (FdI) to avoid what allies call "slow erosion," a gradual erosion of the government's image until the end of the legislature. She has been in power for approximately 3 years and 5 months.
Concern increased after the government defeat in recent referendum Regarding the judicial system. According to sources, the Prime Minister fears that maintaining the current scenario will lead to a sharp drop in opinion polls, which already indicate a decline of up to two percentage points for next week.
At a dinner at her official residence, Meloni sounded out Deputy Prime Ministers Matteo Salvini and Antonio Tajani about bringing forward the election, according to a report in the newspaper La Repubblica on Sunday (29). The Prime Minister is also pushing for the swift approval of a new electoral law to prevent the government from being paralyzed by legislative deadlocks.
Tensions in the cabinet
The atmosphere in the Council of Ministers is one of instability. There have been direct demands to the Minister of Economy, Giancarlo Giorgetti, for more funds for the business sector. Giorgetti, however, is resisting the requests so as not to compromise the goal of keeping the deficit below 3% of GDP, which would prevent the country from leaving the path of fiscal non-compliance with the European Union.
The lack of resources also threatens increased defense spending, a demand considered a priority in the relationship with the United States. Without fiscal leeway for one last expansionary budget bill, some within the FdI argue that going to the polls would be the best political solution in the short term.
ministerial reform
Meloni rules out a broad cabinet reshuffle, but needs to resolve the vacancy left by Daniela Santanchè. The name of Luca ZaiaThe current governor of Veneto emerges as a surprising possibility to assume a ministerial post, given his good relationship with the prime minister. Within the party, the order is for an "internal purge," with interventions planned in regional directorates such as that of Sicily.

Native Italians should demand the annulment of the recognition of dual Italian citizenship for the 71,5% of Italian descendants. It is regrettable that 71,5% of Brazilian Italian descendants support this exclusionary and discriminatory regime, which establishes unfair, prejudiced distinctions or unequal treatment between people and groups. Fortunately, the majority of native Italians do not accept this regime of political representatives, such as Giorgia Meloni, Antonio Tajani, Matteo Salvini, and other supporting politicians. Proof of the poor political management of this government is that in recent years, thousands of native Italians and/or their children have migrated to other countries seeking better living conditions. Supporting this authoritarian and dictatorial regime of politicians like Giorgia Meloni, Antonio Tajani, and Matteo Salvini, among other supporting politicians, is to harm the rest of the nation of Italian descendants who are seeking dual Italian citizenship. "Pure selfishness." Greetings to Meloni, only from the 71,5% who support the Meloni, Tajani, and Salvini regime. The remaining Italian descendants and NATIVE Italians have the wisdom and intelligence to vote against this regime. The next referendums will be to demand the resignation of Antonio Tajani and Matteo Salvini. I wish them “Ciao Ciao Meloni…”
