From the two vice premieres to the technicians, Meloni’s team is (almost) done- Corriere.it

At 20.30, when more than two hours have passed since the end of the meeting between Giorgia Meloni and Silvio Berlusconi, the list of possible ministers begins to circulate. And if we exclude some boxes still in the balance, first of all Justice, the agreement appears one step away from being reached. First of all in the definition of the five ministries that should touch the blues. Ministries that both for the persons indicated by the Knight and for the powers offered by Meloni should not encounter obstacles. But one.

Giorgia Meloni not willing to change his mind on the project of having Carlo Nordio, a former magistrate now elected with FdI, as Keeper of the Seals. The peace signed with the Knight does not have as a corollary the dicastery of via Arenula, even if the definitive choice will come only in the next few hours. Maria Elisabetta Casellati, former president of the Senate and very loyal of the leader of FI, was the subject of the confrontation in via della Scrofa, but in the end she should go to the Reforms (unless there are twists and turns). In addition to Antonio Tajani at the helm of the Farnesina, with the additional post of deputy premier (like Salvini), FI would also touch on the ecological transition with Gilberto Pichetto Fratin, current deputy minister at Mise. Senator and former group leader Anna Maria Bernini should lead the University, while Giuseppe Valditara, Salvini’s legal advisor, seems safe to Education. A fifth ministry without a portfolio, probably the Public Administration, would complete the blue government patrol. And a name in pole position that of Alessandro Cattaneo, former mayor of Pavia. The Lega team, on the other hand, registers few changes: Salvini at Infrastructure, Giancarlo Giorgetti at the helm of the Economy, Prefect Matteo Piantedosi at the Viminale, Roberto Calderoli at Regional Affairs, while Gian Marco Centinaio, who has already been minister with the same powers in the first Conte government.

In the FdI team, which should include at least seven or eight ministers, those that appear to be fixed points are Raffele Fitto in European Affairs, Adolfo Urso in Defense, Guido Crosetto in a first-tier department, perhaps at the Mise, Eugenia Roccella at the Family, Marina Elvira Calderone at Work . Giordano Bruno Guerri in the race for Culture while the Department of Tourism and Sport could be entrusted to Chiara Colosimo, councilor of the Lazio Region. There is talk of Nello Musumeci for the South. For the ministry of health favored the current president of the Red Cross Francesco Rocca, very close to Meloni. Relations with Parliament could go to Maurizio Lupi, even if a ministry to us with Italy is not taken for granted.

It would concern the structure of the government also a change that Meloni would have in mind: to move the Energy Emergency Commission, now employed by the Ecological Transition, under the Presidency of the Council. By creating a commissioner structure, Covid model, to set up emergency measures for families and businesses. But also structural, to reconfigure national gas production, now at a minimum. Government consultant could be appointed the current minister Roberto Cingolani who in recent days has held a direct line with the leader of FdI: I was asked to stay to maintain continuity – he said – but I go back to my job. Give my support for a few months to my successor.
