Tajani goes on the offensive and digs in. But in the south, Forza Italia is showing cracks

The Deputy Prime Minister is stepping up his criticism of the League and the windfall tax, partly to cover up internal divisions. The party in Campania (and Calabria) is, in fact, in turmoil. And there are problems in the north too

The case

Schlein is alarming businesses with her remarks on windfall profits. Regina (Confindustria): “Populism”

The Council of Ministers has approved an extension to the excise duty cut, but the PD secretary insists: target windfall profits. The energy spokesperson for the employers’ organisation says: “We are opposed to this. It smacks of a policy devoid of ideas.”

between Kyiv and excise duties

Meloni reaffirms her support for Zelensky (but new aid is on hold). FI opposes the windfall tax

Excise duty cuts to be refinanced, new aid for Ukraine to be sent (perhaps by September, though there are those within the majority who oppose this) and the promises made to Amatrice: the challenges facing the Prime Minister (and the government) as they return to work

The strategy

The government is banking on the EU Pact: “Far from being a boomerang, it protects us”

Meloni responds to accusations from the opposition and defends her record on immigration: "We have prevented 80,000 entries." The plan for return hubs in Rwanda. FdI prepares for the October campaign

within FI

The pressure on Tajani. He is annoyed by Zangrillo’s comments. And now he fears intervention from the Berlusconi family

The interview and the criticism levelled by the Minister for Public Administration have been the subject of much discussion within the party. The Deputy Prime Minister did not take kindly to the outburst. The meeting with Marina B. and the chaos at the party conference in Campania

the interview

Zangrillo (FI): “The plan to cut red tape? I’m surprised – Tajani should have involved me. I find party conferences a real ordeal.”

The Minister for Public Administration: “Before launching the campaign, it would have been appropriate to highlight the achievements of four years in government. Just one phone call from the secretary. Marina B? If she were to stand as a candidate for Forza Italia, everyone would be thrilled”

Following the release of Fontana

Salvini is digging in his heels and considering reprisals against the “rebels”

Northerners press ahead with their association: “Answers before Pontida”. Romeo’s “dissident” book on “returning to the League”. The possible implications in the Senate are causing Meloni concern

Salvini’s isolation. Northern governors are preparing to oust him and are open to his replacement. Farewell to the Ministry of the Interior

Lombardy’s President Fontana speaks of a step backwards, whilst in Lega chat groups a showdown erupts between southerners and northerners. Durigon: “There are those who want the much-maligned Rome…”. And at the Ministry of the Interior, Piantedosi’s position is being reinforced

The story

Forget Ceuta. Schlein heads to Pigneto for her ‘heatwave’ plan

In the midst of the crisis with Spain, the secretary presents the PD’s proposals for tackling climate-related extreme weather events because “this, too, is a matter of urban security”. These include models such as Medellín and the staunch defence of the ETS. Corrado: “Summer used to be a dream; now it’s a nightmare”

Tajani’s ‘fascists’, the halt to facial recognition (and to Mantovano). FdI is annoyed with FI

Meloni’s supporters are unhappy with the concerns raised by Forza Italia’s Rossello regarding the transposition of the European AI Act, so the measure has been postponed. Meanwhile, there is some embarrassment over the statement made by the Deputy Prime Minister during a meeting with her colleagues within Fratelli d’Italia
