Center-Right Rallies in Naples Behind Cirielli as He Pledges €100 Boost to Minimum Pensions

Nine days before the Nov. 23–24 vote, the bloc projects momentum in a contest Salvini calls wide open.

Overview

  • Giorgia Meloni, Matteo Salvini and Antonio Tajani appeared together at Naples’ PalaPartenope to formalize a unified push for Edmondo Cirielli.
  • Cirielli vowed an extra €100 per month for minimum‑pension recipients in Campania, presenting it as a binding promise backed by European Social Fund resources.
  • He added an accountability pledge to resign halfway through his term if fewer than 50% of his objectives are achieved.
  • Meloni escalated attacks on Roberto Fico and outgoing president Vincenzo De Luca, using the line that their politics are less noble than the Neapolitan comedy.
  • Police mounted heavy security around the venue, with surrounding streets closed to vehicle and foot traffic as supporters arrived by bus.
