Meloni and the Quirinale: "It is not part of my plans", but enough with the left's monopoly
Published
Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni has once again spoken about Italy's institutions in an interview included in Bruno Vespa's new book. According to the daily newspaper Il Sole 24 ORE, Meloni stated that the Quirinale, that is, the seat of the Presidency of the Republic, is not among her personal goals.
In the same remarks, the premier addressed the issue of political and cultural power. Meloni said that, in her view, it is time to end the "monopoly" of the centre-left in certain areas of public life. With this expression, the leader of Fratelli d'Italia criticises the long period in which, in her judgement, the left held strong influence over institutions, culture and the media.
The Quirinale is the palace that houses the President of the Republic, the head of state of Italy. The president is elected by Parliament in joint session, together with representatives of the Regions, and remains in office for seven years. The role is primarily one of institutional guarantee, so the premier's words are important for understanding her position on future political balances.
For now, the statements have been reported by the press and have not yet been officially commented on by opposition parties. To learn the full details of Meloni's views, it is advisable to read the complete text of the interview in Bruno Vespa's book.
