Appointment at 11 in Montecitorio for Giorgia Meloni who will present her programmatic statements to the Chamber today. It is for her the first real parliamentary test , even if she can count on a decidedly solid majority.

According to rumors, his government, he will say before the deputies in his "programmatic manifesto", is "strongly political" and has the ambition to last for 5 years.

After the bell ceremony with Mario Draghi and the international debut with Emmanuel Macron , he is now aware, it is time to show "how to concretely follow up and implement commitments". It is the time of the choices, and to guide them, he will claim, will be only the "defense of the interests of the Italians" which was the figure of the electoral campaign .

Meloni will reiterate Russia's condemnation of the war in Ukraine and its vision of relations with Europe. Italy's international posture, as he has repeated several times, will remain firmly anchored to the Euro-Atlantic axis .

But the most complicated and urgent game remains that of gas. There it will be difficult to depart from the path outlined by Mario Draghi and his minister Roberto Cingolani, who remains as advisor to the center-right government. In Brussels we can only continue to fight to get the ceiling on the price of gas (which for the first time falls below 100 euros after the political agreement last week) and to obtain the solidarity shown at the time of Covid to have resources to protect citizens and businesses from price rises.

A new bill decree will probably be the first concrete commitment of the new government which immediately afterwards will have to deal with the writing of the first maneuver, in record time and without putting the accounts at risk .

The moment is difficult and the premier will not hide it, between the inflation that continues to run and the always uncertain outcomes of the war, but will ensure the "maximum commitment", her and her ministers, to prevent the country, after the crisis health and energy, you also fall into an economic crisis. The guiding star, however, is that of the national interest, from the defense of the production sector and the Italian character of the products that make our country famous in the world.

At the end of the speech, the Montecitorio session will be suspended to allow the Prime Minister to go to the Senate to deliver the text of her programmatic statements. The general discussion will start at 1pm and continue until 5pm, when Meloni will reply. The explanations of vote are expected from 5.30 pm to 7 pm, when the "call" for confidence will begin.The result of the vote is expected at around 8.30 pm.
