Barring any major changes by the Constitutional Court, the Stabilicum is set to come into force. From the collection of signatures to the nomination of a candidate for Prime Minister (and the associated issue of the primaries), here is what the political parties will need to take into account before the election.

The Prime Minister and the President of the Republic reiterate their condemnation of terrorism and anti-Semitism and their commitment to protecting civilian populations, with a view to a peace based on the two-state solution

The carefully measured announcements, the ‘no’ to the primaries, the victory over the shipowners at the port, the moment that stole the limelight from the Prime Minister at the Boat Show. But there is no sign of him entering the fray (though relations with Schlein are excellent)

Avs’ priorities: wealth redistribution, through a wealth tax and a tax reform involving the abolition of income tax brackets. And what if someone were to overturn the programme? “Anyone who did so would be swept aside by the sentiment of a country calling for change.” 

Even the street protests against the electoral law are a problem for the opposition. Meanwhile, the leader of the M5S is stepping up the pace on the ‘Gazebo’ campaign, pressing his rival. “Let’s get a move on.” Next week, alongside Meloni, he will do battle in the Chamber over foreign policy. Meanwhile, the Democrats await the Party Assembly and Montepulciano. The programme may come later

Five Forza Italia candidates in Modena. There is also movement in the municipalities within the former prime minister’s region. In the Messina area, Vannacci "snatches" two Forza Italia candidates: the Calderone effect

The former minister’s defence team has requested that the hearings take place behind closed doors. Boccia had previously said of the former presenter of Report at Il Foglio: “He’s part of my inner circle”; now he also refers to him as Sangiuliano. In the proceedings, the minister’s former colleague and lover is accused of stalking and causing bodily harm.
