Party leaders of Forza – Italian Foreign Minister Tajani succeeds Berlusconi

Date:

Italian Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani wants to lead the governing party Forza Italia out of the crisis as the new leader. The 69-year-old was unanimously elected on Saturday to succeed Silvio Berlusconi, who died a month ago, at a party congress in Rome.

Forza has lost popular support for years. Since parliamentary elections in September, only one of the three major coalition parties has lost support in polls. Their values ​​are at seven percent, while the Lega of Transport Minister Matteo Salvini comes at ten percent and Melonis Fratelli d’Italia at almost 30 percent.

Low charisma man
In contrast to the charismatic Berlusconi, who died on June 12 at the age of 86, his companion Tajani is regarded as a man with little charisma. Nor is the minister one of Italy’s most popular politicians. Much of his political career took place abroad, where Tajani rose to prominence as an EU Commissioner and President of the European Parliament. He joined Forza the year it was founded, 1994, when he became government spokesman for Berlusconi, who ruled Italy intermittently until 2011.

Tajani told party congress delegates that he inherited an almost unmanageable legacy. “It is not easy to lead a political movement that Silvio Berlusconi led for almost 30 years.”

Founded 29 years ago by Berlusconi, Forza is one of many junior partners in Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni’s right-wing coalition government.
