Overview
- Fratelli d’Italia invited PD secretary Elly Schlein to its Atreju festival in Rome, set near Castel Sant’Angelo from December 6 to 14.
- Schlein signaled tentative willingness to attend only if she can confront Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni directly on stage.
- The prime minister has not yet responded to the condition, leaving the format and participation unresolved.
- Acceptance would mark Schlein’s first appearance at the flagship event closely associated with Meloni.
- In 2023 Schlein declined an Atreju invite, saying confrontations should occur in Parliament, and a face-to-face now would be unprecedented outside Montecitorio.
