Speech by Meloni at the heart of the event

Also to limit risks and monitor entrances, the event will take place at the port, in the area of the new cruise terminal, with a corridor of lights that will accompany the participants. The sunset will be the backdrop to Meloni's speech, the true heart of the event, because the prime minister should begin speaking around 7.15pm. Forty-five minutes in total: half on the past, half on the last mile.

The expected announcements: families and businesses at the center

Despite the silence on the eve, the hypothesis has been leaked and not denied that the Prime Minister could announce a new measure for families and businesses with the same value, including electoral, as the 80 euro bonus mentioned by Renzian. Released from the "Dedicated to you" card, but targeted and selective, capable of relieving Italians and the sectors most in difficulty, from hauliers to the agricultural supply chain, from the burden of price increases. In an already rich budget law construction site, where there should also be space for the expansion of the scope of the reduction of the Irpef, the tax relief of the thirteenth salary, the strengthening of safety in the cities. All trusting in the exit from the EU procedure for excessive deficit.

The troubled allies are out of the way

The allies will intervene before Meloni: the president of Noi Moderati, Maurizio Lupi, the only one in attendance, and the vice prime ministers in remote connection. Therefore, the Italian leader Antonio Tajani and the Northern League leader, Matteo Salvini, disappeared. Both of them arrive at the meeting in trouble: the second is followed by the Northern front which is calling for a renewal of the party; the first grappling with the liberal metamorphosis that Marina Berlusconi is undergoing. Both surpassed in the polls by Roberto Vannacci.

Curtain raised on the race towards the vote

The electoral performance of Lega and Fi is one of the main unknowns in view of the 2027 political elections: the natural deadline of the legislature is October, but the date circled in red on the calendar is, for now, 11 April. The right time, according to many Melonians, to unplug is, in fact, the beginning of February. It allows us to reap the fruits of an "electoral" budget law this time, which is fantasized around 30 billion (almost double that for 2026), also taking advantage of the flexibility on energy and defense granted by Brussels, and to move on to collection without the risk of new unforeseen events and divisions in the coalition.
