“I aim for the most authoritative team” – Corriere.it

“We aim to give this nation the most authoritative government possible. There is no room for secondary questions with respect to this objective “. The first speech to the 185 elected brothers of Italy, Giorgia Melon
the he does it like someone who talks to his daughter-in-law so that the mother-in-law understands. And that mother-in-law, or rather those mother-in-law, quotes them: “I told the allies and I also say it to you who are the FdI team in Parliament: we aim to create a government of the highest level, which starts with competencies”. In the classroom of the parliamentary groups of Montecitorio the Prime Minister in pectore, welcomed with standing-ovations and cheers (“Gior-gia Gior-gia”) opens with a joke: “We are on the choreography.”

But he immediately calls the team to seriousness and confidentiality arrived with the enthusiasm stamped on her face. Young new entries and former parliamentarians who, as a Cinderella of the last legislature, found themselves, after the elections, queens of the Grand Ball of Politics. Many with the dream of a prominent position. But the leader immediately makes it clear that she is not an air of demands. You dispense tips and gadgets of sober patriotism: blue ties and scarves with mini tricolor. And, above all, she makes it clear that she does not intend to make, let alone tolerate, missteps. Many thoughts turn to the ongoing dispute with Silvio Berlusconi that for Licia Ronzulli asks for prestigious ministries. Giorgia warns everyone: «They will try to criticize us for what we say, do or how we dress. Therefore we must avoid trying to appear at all costs, because respect for institutions is done in practice ».

And among the canons of institutional respect it includes also the speed in forming the team: “If and when the president were to entrust us with the task, we aim to be ready and as fast as possible,” he emphasizes. Then he immediately sets the first objectives: “We will work to proceed quickly starting from Italy’s emergencies, such as expensive bills, energy supplies and the budget law”. Because “our goal is to run and all we will do will be to defend the Italians and we will never be willing to make choices that go against the national interest”. But the leader of FdI does not think only of the government. You know that the parliamentary battle will be tough, especially in the Senate. And he reminds his people to “lead by example” as a group: “There are no justified absences. You just have to be there, ”she says. The motivation is identity: «We have broken all the schemes, creating various short circuits in the left and in the mainstream. We are a completely different thing from anything that has been seen so far. We are not inspired by anyone but we are our history and we would like to be a model of inspiration for others tomorrow ».

But no jarring. Indeed the reference to his own it is not to forget who has not voted FdI. Indeed, groped to make him change his mind: «Every time you enter Parliament you will have to think of all the Italians who on 25 September put their future in their hands. As well as to all those who have not voted for us because, in some cases, they have lost hope. And we will have to work to change their minds. It is a challenge we feel responsible for and intend to face it by showing seriousness and ability ». And he closes: «We must aim for the maximum. And I wish you five years of pride and victories ». The patrol comes out loaded. “We want to govern well,” says Isabella Rauti. Many avoid comments. Especially those mentioned in the totoministri. Daniela Santanchè is unusually reserved. Adolfo Urso presses his lips and smiles. And Carlo Nordio assures: «It is already a great emotion to represent the Italians».
