Even before the European elections, an appetizer of the "duel" between Giorgia Meloni and Elly Schlein, while waiting for the challenge to materialize on TV, will be the prime time in the Chamber, set for January 17th after it was missed in December due to the commitment of Meloni at the European Council.

It was the secretary of the Democratic Party who threw down the gauntlet, which the Prime Minister accepted in the traditional annual meeting with journalists, after the "no thanks" opposed to Fdi's invitation to Atreju .

Ready for discussion, the Dem leader had objected, but in an institutional field, such as Parliament, or at most on the more neutral terrain of live television, rather than at a party event.

The race to host the match on TV immediately started, with SkyTg24 aiming for the host after asking the question in the press conference, Enrico Mentana's La7 and Bruno Vespa recalling that he was "the first to invite them both, a minute after the leader of the Democratic Party made the request for a discussion." The face-to-face meeting, recalls the historic Rai presenter, will have to take place by the beginning of April because 60 days before the European elections, which will be held on 9 June, the rules of equal conditions come into force, which would require all the parties in the running to be invited .

The coming months will see the level of conflict rise, even if the two choose not to run in the elections to renew the European Parliament.
