The clash between the League and Brothers of Italy in the European elections is a cause of concern for Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni. She was not pleased with the attack launched by Salvini, through Marine Le Pen’s video, during the conference of sovereigntists in Rome. The attack aims to undermine Meloni’s idea of confirming Ursula von der Leyen as the leader of the European Union. Meloni emphasized the importance of unity within the center-right coalition and warned against division, stating that it only benefits the left.
Salvini, on the other hand, maintains his stance and insists that it is those who support an unnatural alliance within the center-right and veto European allies who are creating divisions. He highlights the efforts made to unite the center-right both in Italy and in Europe, expressing hope that the coalition in power would choose to govern the EU with the League and its allies rather than with Macron and the socialists. The vetoes mentioned by Salvini have been imposed by both Forza Italia and the party of Giorgia Meloni, which has led to speculation about a potential reconfiguration within the government if Forza Italia were to outperform the League in the European elections.
There are rumors of a possible balancing act within the government, particularly if Forza Italia surpasses the League in the European elections. This has led to discussions about the potential replacement of Ursula von der Leyen with Mario Draghi as the head of the Commission, a proposal that Meloni finds favorable and one that is unlikely to be vetoed by the League, given their past involvement in Draghi’s government. The dynamics between the League and Brothers of Italy have raised questions about the future of the center-right coalition and the possible implications for the current government.
The relationship between the League and Brothers of Italy is facing challenges, particularly in the context of the upcoming European elections. Meloni’s concerns about Salvini’s tactics and calls for unity within the coalition highlight the tensions within the center-right. The veto imposed by both Forza Italia and Meloni’s party has further complicated the situation, leading to speculation about potential changes in government dynamics based on the election results. The ongoing clash between the League and Brothers of Italy has implications for the future of the center-right coalition and the balance of power within the current government.
