The united center-right chooses Piazza del Popolo in Rome to close the electoral campaign.
Forza Italia leader Silvio Berlusconi opens the evening, recalling the merits of his governments, then underlining how the center-right is "the true majority of the country" and that "Italy does not want to be ruled by the left". Tough with the leader of the Democratic Party is Matteo Salvini : "On the left they insult, threaten and make great trips abroad. Letta, since nobody in Italy votes for him, had to go to Berlin to be encouraged. Next week we will send him to Paris".
"Those who choose the League - adds its leader - trust a 49-year-old who is on trial and risks 15 years in prison because he blocked the landing of illegal immigrants: I did it and I can't wait to do it again as premier or as a humble servant of the state. We will win and govern well for five years. "
Grand finale for the leader of the Brothers of Italy Giorgia Meloni , presented by the actor Pino Insegno among the choirs "Giorgia Giorgia": "When democracy arrived, the left lost its head, it is an angry, violent left that is terrified to lose its consolidated system of power ". Then he goes further: "If the Italians give us the majority we will carry out a presidential reform and we will be happy if the left wants to give us a hand, but if the Italians give us the numbers we will do it alone".
Despite the apparent unity, there is still a duel between the Lega and the Brothers of Italy on the future possible composition of the government: Meloni announces that he has the list ready, while Salvini asks for collegiality on future choices. And above all , the game for leadership is still open for him. As he says to Porta a Porta: "A Meloni government? I am thinking of a Salvini government ...".
On the international front, from Silvio Berlusconi comes an at least unprecedented reading of the reasons that would have led the Kremlin to invade Ukraine. "Putin has fallen into a difficult and dramatic situation. I say - explains the former premier in Bruno Vespa's living room - that he fell because it was a mission of the two pro-Russian republics of Donbass that went to Moscow, he spoke to everyone , with newspapers, TV and party ministers, they went to him in a delegation saying 'Zelensky has increased the attacks of his forces against us and our borders, we have reached 16 thousand dead, defend us because if you don't do it you don't know where we will be able to arrive ', and Putin was pushed to invent this special operation ". But it goes further: "The troops had to enter, reach Kiev in a week, replace Zelensky's government with a government of good people and turn back in a week. Instead they found unexpected resistance which was then fed with everyone's weapons. the guys from the West ".
