Overview

  • At the Meeting of Comunione e Liberazione, the prime minister vowed to push constitutional changes separating judges’ and prosecutors’ careers and to reshape the CSM using sortition to curb judicial factions.
  • She declared that no judge, politician or bureaucrat will block the government’s migration policies, after rulings that hindered parts of the Albania detention plan.
  • The confrontation with the judiciary intensified in the wake of a Tribunal of Ministers request to seek parliamentary authorization to proceed against Carlo Nordio, Matteo Piantedosi and Alfredo Mantovano in the Almasri probe, with Meloni’s position archived.
  • Meloni said the government will also advance the premierato and regional autonomy and announced a large capped‑price housing plan for young couples alongside measures to counter demographic decline.
  • On foreign policy, she backed Israel’s right to self‑defense but said its response in Gaza has exceeded proportionality, called for a ceasefire and the release of hostages, urged a halt to West Bank settlements and argued the EU risks geopolitical irrelevance.
