the three-way summit with Tajani on August 30 –

The convivial meeting, as government sources call it, between Giorgia Meloni and Matteo Salvini lasted two hours in the farmhouse in Puglia where the prime minister is spending a few days of vacation. It was also the occasion – the same sources explain – for a phone call to the deputy prime minister and leader of Forza Italia, Antonio Tajani. The leaders, again from what we learn, have agreed to a meeting of all three in person on August 30 “to take stock of the most urgent dossiers”.

An announcement that comes on a day characterized by controversy over the background of Alessandro Sallusti according to which there is an information-prosecutor’s office-politics “scheme” in action aimed at hitting the government of Giorgia Meloni by bringing into play her sister Arianna. Theorems on the alleged role in the decision of the nominations of the subsidiaries with the hope that an investigation will be opened, perhaps for influence peddling.
