Overview
- The Forum Ambrosetti concluced Sunday in Cernobbio and focused the final day on competing agendas between opposition leaders and government ministers.
- Matteo Renzi urged holding national elections in May to avoid a summer campaign and to improve his electoral prospects.
- Giuseppe Conte presented a program of labour and environmental measures and proposed a national sovereign development fund, while warning that rising military spending drains resources from domestic priorities.
- Minister Gilberto Pichetto Fratin rejected the economic basis for an 'extraprofitti' extra-profits tax and defended earlier energy relief measures such as February's decreto bollette.
- Instant Teha polls of the Forum audience gave the Meloni government broadly positive ratings (about 68%), rated the opposition strongly negative (about 83%), and recorded over 90% negative views of President Trump’s foreign policy, a result Teha participants and outlets cast as a business-elite barometer that could shape campaign messaging and policy debate.
