Giorgia Meloni returns to Palazzo Chigi: “Here I am! I reappeared." New appointments and political challenges on the horizon.

Giorgia Meloni officially returned to Palazzo Chigi, after a period of rest spent in Puglia, and announced her return with a video on social media in which she expressed gratitude for the time spent with her family and for the recharge of energy. Meloni joked about the comments of those who criticized her absence during the holidays, underlining that the difficult summer is for those who have not had the opportunity to disconnect from work. With a determined tone, the prime minister assured that she will make the most of her new energy to face future challenges.

Meloni's return marks the start of an intense week for the government. A summit with the majority leaders and a Council of Ministers is scheduled for Friday in which the future of Raffaele Fitto, the current minister and probable new European commissioner for Italy, will be discussed. Fitto, who could move to Brussels in December, has received from Meloni the task of resolving the dispute with the European Union regarding beach concessions, a complex issue that the prime minister hopes to address with legislation that satisfies both European and international needs. of Italian entrepreneurs.

In addition, Meloni is planning a trip to Paris next week, during the final days of the Paralympics, with the intention of meeting French President Emmanuel Macron. This meeting follows the informal one on August 2 and will have as its main objective to strengthen bilateral relations and discuss European and global issues.

Meanwhile, the French capital will also host the President of the Republic Sergio Mattarella for the opening ceremony of the Paralympic Games. Meloni, having returned to Palazzo Chigi, has already met Fitto to discuss the beach concessions and is preparing to resolve the internal tensions within the majority, which characterized the summer. The next few weeks will be crucial for Italian politics, with the management of important issues such as economic maneuver, autonomy, and regional elections.

Rumors of a possible cabinet reshuffle are on ice for now, pending the outcome of the request to commit Tourism Minister Daniela Santanchè to trial. Meloni is also scheduled to meet with her party, Fratelli d'Italia, next Wednesday to discuss political analysis and other decisions, including the possible ratification of the expulsion of MP Andrea De Bertoldi. The prime minister will then have an engagement in Verona for the G7 of Parliaments and could also attend the Ambrosetti Forum in Cernobbio, with Paris as a possible final stop on her busy weekend.
