Tajani is confirmed as Italian Foreign Minister in the Meloni government

Berlusconi confirms the Ministries of Justice and Foreign Affairs for his party Former Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi has assured that his party, Forza Italia, will have five ministries in the future coalition government, including Justice and Foreign Affairs, two heavyweights in a cabinet that will be headed by the far-right Giorgia Meloni. Berlusconi had increased the pressure in recent weeks to guarantee certain portfolios, in a public fight against the leader of the Brothers of Italy that seemed to be settled on Monday with a meeting in which both promised unity and collaboration. This Tuesday, Berlusconi confirmed that Forza Italia will control Universities, Public Administration, Ecological Transition, Justice and Foreign Affairs. In this last position will be the former president of the European Parliament Antonio Tajani, who will also be deputy prime minister, according to the Rai network. In Justice, the former president of the Senate Elisabetta Casellati will arrive. “Meloni agrees,” said the Italian conservative leader, who has precisely several open fronts in the courts. Berlusconi has also taken the opportunity to try to take the iron off the page with qualifications to Meloni that he showed during the first plenary session in the Senate and in which he described the leader of the Brothers of Italy as “arrogant, arrogant and offensive”. The real opinion, he has alleged her, “she was on another page and was completely positive.” Meloni, at least publicly, does not hold a grudge. Speaking to the press, she stated on Tuesday that relations with the veteran politician are at “an optimum point”, according to the AdnKronos news agency.
