Roberto Vannacci, former general, gained notoriety with the book 'World on the contrary' presented in 2023 in Marina di Pietrasanta, an event that marked the beginning of his political rise and the birth of the Futuro Nazionale party.
We are writing the 10 most important measures that we would approve in the first 100 days if we were in government", "I am seeing that the party is walking on its own feet without me having to be on the front line, the left will take care of the rest. A leader creates leaders, a boss creates subordinates". Roberto Vannacci, leader of Futuro Nazionale, speaks at a meeting at the Biondetti bathroom in Marina di Pietrasanta (Lucca). Here, as he recalled, the first presentation of his book 'World in reverse' was held in 2023, which marked the beginning of his political rise, until the birth of Futuro Nazionale.
A meeting with dinner to follow in which the former general spoke in the round. A few hundred people were present, including Fabrizio Corona, who explained, after launching his movement, that he had come to listen to Vannacci "because he is the strongest in the polls, and - he says - I come to listen to the strongest".
On the budget, the leader of Futuro Nazionale underlined that he didn't know whether to give a negative opinion "to the Government or to the Ministry of Economy". The fact is that this is the result. And the result is unquestionable. The result is that we have not emerged from the infringement procedure, and therefore the next budget will be limited. Furthermore, we cannot even deviate too much from the parameters because then someone pays the debt", the young people.
Vannacci also criticizes "the fake preferences in the electoral law", while "the secret vote is a gabola, what logic does it respond to other than hiding the will of the elected person from the electorate? But unfortunately this is politics in Italy". "We are not a party of the morning poll - he said -. At the beginning they called us populists but we are the party that has taken less populist positions than the others, think of the vote on femicide or abortion" and "on civil unions we are the most libertarian party".
As for the centre-right, "if it decides to build walls and make declarations of incompatibility, Futuro Nazionale has its own legs and ability to move forward on its own: Reggio Calabria has demonstrated this". Hits also on the left: "If you remove fascism from the left it no longer has any reason to exist, which is why even today we still talk about fascism and anti-fascism. And we have the ANPI, which takes funds to carry out its activities and also engages in politics. The left will never give up on this because it has lived on this for years. But it's time to think about the future. We look to the past for our roots but our gaze is on the future."
The former general then reiterated his opposition to sending resources to Ukraine, "with that money we would have exited the infringement procedure with me", overall, as Italy we have given "almost 20 billion euros to Ukraine in four and a half years". And on Russia, according to the former general "we have been filled with the Russian threat in our heads every day for 4 or 5 years", "but I believe it is madness. I believe that there are no correct indicators that lead us to think of a Russian attack on the European Union or NATO, because it would be suicide. And I don't see Cossacks at the door".

The secretary of the Democratic Party Elly Schlein attacked the Meloni government during the national direction of the Nazarene party, asking for the resignation of the right. The prime minister responded by making fun of the response times, while Giuseppe Conte reiterated the need for primaries for the coalition.

Economy Minister Giancarlo Giorgetti announced a budget gap of around 28 billion over two years, equally divided between energy and defence, with spending on weapons reduced by 7 billion compared to previous forecasts. The Public Finance Policy Document raises the forecast deficit to 3.4% in 2027 and 3.3% in 2028, although net of the deviation it remains below 3%. The maneuver was born in a complex context marked by inflation, rates and uncertainty about the future leadership of the ECB, with Giorgetti calling for prudence and clarity on Lagarde. The parliamentary vote on the deviation is scheduled for October 13th.

Elly Schlein, secretary of the Democratic Party, harshly criticized Giuseppe Conte and the M5s during her report to the party leadership, stating that 'one is worth one' is not valid in the programmatic discussion, despite the fact that voters gave the Democratic Party double the votes of the other opposition forces. He opened primaries to choose the coalition leader, but set conditions, including support for Ukraine. Conte responded by proposing primaries and accusing Schlein of wanting to impose hegemony, while the reformists of the Democratic Party, led by Lorenzo Guerini, did not participate in the vote on the report. Franco Gabrielli has made his entry into the field official with Più Uno.

Giuseppe Sala and Pierfrancesco Majorino discuss the 2027 Milanese elections after a video in which the leader of the Pd group in the Region makes his willingness to run official, criticizing 'too much concrete' and the weight of real estate funds; Sala rejects the accusations, citing data on greenery and built volume, then announcing that he wants to step aside to avoid internal divisions.

The Council of Ministers approved the public finance planning document and the report on the gap, which provides for flexibility of around 14 billion for 2027 and 14 billion for 2028, equal to 0.3% of GDP each for defense and energy. Minister Giorgetti explained that the defense effort has been scaled back compared to initial intentions, while the deficit should remain under 3% in 2026 and rise to 3.4% in 2027, 3.3% in 2028 and 2.4% in 2029 taking into account European rules. Tajani anticipated a deviation of around 7 billion for 2026, while Crosetto commented on the reduction of 8 billion to defence, underlining the importance of maintaining the 0.3% expected for 2027.

Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni and Democratic Party secretary Elly Schlein exchanged accusations and replies in a series of public statements, with Schlein listing ten criticisms of the government and Meloni responding on social media. Schlein then gave a report to the PD leadership, which was approved unanimously, while Giuseppe Conte commented on the topic of weapons and primaries.
