Meloni Discusses Early Elections and Coalition Strategy

Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni has suggested that early elections could be held, possibly a few months ahead of schedule, according to reports from Palazzo Madama. Speaking at the UDC party festival, she stated that Italians should know there is a government that does not run away. Meloni also criticized the center-left as not credible and challenged the Democratic Party on electoral law. Additionally, she commented that the strategy of maintaining a firewall against right-wing parties, such as Germany's AfD, is not successful. In a separate development, Longobardi has left his role in digital communication at Palazzo Chigi but remains with Meloni.
