On October 25, freshly elected Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni (far-right Brothers of Italy, FdI party founder and head) delivered her maiden speech to the lower house of parliament. Heading up Italy’s most right-wing government since the fall of Mussolini, PM Meloni’s speech struck a reassuring tone that emphasised the country’s anchorage to Europe and NATO and underlined the reliability of her executive. While the PM announced urgent measures to help businesses and households cope with the energy crisis and inflation, the message remained vague on work and pensions.
Urgent measures to support businesses and households. Rising energy and fuel prices are causing “unsustainable costs both for many companies, which could be forced to close and lay off workers, and for millions of families,” said Giorgia Meloni in her policy statement while announcing urgent support measures. These measures, she warned, will represent “a significant financial commitment that will drain most of the resources available and will force us to postpone other measures.”
