Giorgia Meloni hastens the times for the definition of the team but continues to look to Europe, raising the stakes.
To the French minister Laurence Boone, who allegedly said he wanted to monitor "respect for rights and freedoms in Italy"
, he asked to deny the declaration because otherwise it would be
an "unacceptable" threat of external interference "against a sovereign state, a member of the EU "
.
"The era of governments asking for protection abroad - warns the leader of FdI - is over".
A very clear stance that is
applauded by the center-right and the sharing of Carlo Calenda who invites the French to "mind their own business".

Ministry of the Family and Birth:
a hypothesis that would also be debated in Europe.
The League, then, while the center-right is overwhelmed in Basilicata by a judicial investigation that sees exponents of FdI and FI under investigation, also makes it known that "it would very much like" to occupy the box of the Ministry for Regional Affairs, autonomy and reforms given that "autonomy and presidentialism are central themes to take home ".
