"It was a horrendous election campaign." Giorgia Meloni, yesterday's guest on the Canale 5 television program "Mattino Cinque," did not take half measures. "The left, faced with the arrival of democracy (with the upcoming elections), has shown its extremist side." On the merits of the recent hot topics, the Fratelli D’Italia (FDI) leader commented on Giuseppe Conte's criticism of the center-opposition right's to the so-called “reddito di cittadinanza”, emphasizing: "A correct state cannot put on the same level as welfare those who can work and those who cannot," and concluding: "The Reddito di Cittadinanza was a flawed measure." Regarding a potential government team, if the party wins the election, Meloni stated: "I do not wish to discuss ministers, but I can think of a few names. If the Italians give us their trust, we will assemble an elite government team ". She then denied any involvement on the part of Mario Draghi and his ministers. Nevertheless, she confirmed the good institutional relationship with the departing Prime Minister. In conclusion, the leader of Fratelli d'Italia ruled out any possibility of alliances with parties outside the center-right coalition if it fails to obtain a majority to form a government "I do not believe it will be necessary to ally with parties outside of the center-right. The coalition will have a majority sufficient to govern for five years." "The alliance hypothesis with the PD is ridiculous," she concluded.
