After the referendum «no one is thinking of early elections. Important hours are being lost in the post-vote debates. When there is a negative result there are repercussions, but now we must work on especially economic issues, such as growing the economy, preventing the energy crisis from interfering with businesses, reducing the tax burden and continuing to increase GDP and avoiding repercussions.” Thus Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani, interviewed via video link by Bruno Vespa during the ‘Forum of Italian Cuisine’ held in the Li Reni farm in Manduria.
“The government carries on and reaches the end of the legislature without any doubt and without any hesitation”: said the deputy prime minister and transport minister Matteo Salvini speaking remotely at a Giornale event in Milan.
The other reactions
Defense Minister Guido Crosetto spoke on the hypothesis of early voting in another interview. «I think the broad camp is more frightening than the centre-right, given how they are moving and given the total differences between them, but at this moment the sense of responsibility requires us to work to address the various crises underway. We did not share this war and no one asked us for our opinion. To us like no one else.” Early voting? “I don’t know,” Agriculture Minister Lollobrigida said yesterday. «We must complete Italy’s action of change and continue with the sense of responsibility that has so far provided stability and concrete answers. It is not in our DNA to float”, the opinion of Maurizio Lupi. Reshuffle in sight? “Giorgia Meloni will decide whether to include new elements in the government team, but let’s avoid weeks of attrition: it would hurt us”, observes the leader of Noi Moderati. “If Meloni wants elections, come to Parliament,” Angelo Bonelli of Avs cuts short.
