Giorgia Meloni is working on the future government in Italy and wants her new cabinet to be operational by October 20, if possible. In this case, the right-wing politician could represent Italy as the new head of government at the EU summit in Brussels. First, however, President Sergio Mattarella has yet to issue an order for the formation of a new government.
The leader of the right-wing party Fratelli d’Italia (FdI Brothers of Italy) could present the Italian energy file at the summit as the new prime minister.
Lega and Forza Italia as coalition partners
Meloni is currently in talks with coalition partners Lega and Forza Italia to draw up a list of ministers. The government team should be made up of professional politicians and non-party experts who should give the cabinet international standing, circles around Fratelli d’Italia say.
New chambers of parliament meet on October 13
Before Meloni takes the oath, political Rome still has a number of agreements to make. On 13 October, the newly elected parliamentary chambers, the Senate and the House of Representatives, will meet for their inaugural session. During this meeting, the presidents of the two chambers are elected. Only then can the official process of forming a government begin.
First turn of the president
It is part of the political tradition in Italy that the president starts the deliberations on the formation of a new government first with the presidents of the two chambers of parliament, followed by the presidents of the main parties and, if necessary, the presidents of the parliamentary groups.
President Sergio Mattarella, as leader of the strongest single party in parliament, is expected to instruct Meloni to form a new government after the deliberations. After that, the official negotiations with the political allies about the ministerial posts and the government program begin.
