“One of the best in Europe, to say the least. It is a question of concreteness and awareness. Meloni is behaving as is most appropriate for Italy.” This was said by Pier Silvio Berlusconi, on the sidelines of the presentation of Mediaset schedules to the press, referring to the Meloni government. The Mfe ad, last night, took the opportunity to address various political issues, from the work of the executive to Ius scholae. There was no shortage of praise for PM Meloni: “She is doing the best she can in the interest of the country, and it also applies to the relationship with Trump and the United States. She is doing a unique job: woman, young, coming from nowhere. Now he leads the best government in Europe: hats off to him. You may think the same or differently but there is great seriousness, commitment, and patriotism. Welcome, patriotism.” .
Ius scholae
While expressing his esteem for Tajani, whom he calls “irreplaceable for Forza Italia,” to specific questions from reporters on Ius scholae he replied, “I agree in principle with the principle but honestly have doubts about the priority: it does not seem to me to be one of the first necessities for Italians. So I’m a bit skeptical about the timing and manner.” . He adds, “I’m sorry for Tajani, but I’m more against than in favor, because this is not the time. However, false that Tajani is advancing Ius scholae following directions from me or Marina.” The bill “can be improved but is not poorly formulated because it defends people’s rights that should always be defended.”
Renzi
The ad looks to the center, where he would like to place Forza Italia: “In the space that I experience as the real left, which are the 5 stars, Pd on one side and on the other side Fratelli di Italia and Lega there is a giant space in the middle, which is that of how most Italians think.” Among the topics discussed is Matteo Renzi: “I have great sympathies but he no longer has weight and bite. Renzi has lost electoral credibility, he is good but in his political path he has lost political weight.”
Milan and the future
Berlusconi then focuses on the 2027 elections in Milan, where it is mandatory to win: “If we lose after Sala we are really in a bad way.” “It depends on the candidate,” he adds, “but he has to be inside society, no matter if civic or political. That’s the big difference between national or local face, he has to be perceived by the fabric of the community, otherwise it’s over.” A look also to the future, where he does not close the door to politics: “Today I have no intention, looking to the future, I do not exclude it.” His father, he continued, “was 58 when he went into politics, I am 56. There was never a concrete desire, it’s more a dream and a passion. I am happy doing what I do.” Priorities, if he were in politics, would include “welfare, wages, health care, schools, greater security, and a push for development, for everything that is an incentive for companies employment and the economy.”
Tajani gets the message
Clear message, immediately understood by the Deputy PM Tajani: “For Pier Silvio Berlusconi, ius scholae is not a priority? That’s what I’ve always said myself . I have always said that it is not a priority, that there is a bill of ours called ius italiae that aims to make sure that those who study in Italy after ten years can apply to become Italian citizens.” The foreign minister at the Anbi National Assembly added, “I have always said that our priority is called justice reform, reducing the tax burden, and protecting the health of citizens. “I never said it was a priority, I only said what is our position. From that point of view we are in perfect agreement. We will go forward in supporting and defending our ideas,” Tajani concluded.
