FdI celebrates Meloni's third anniversary and is already looking to a repeat.

From Rome to Florence, from Turin to Bologna, Brothers of Italy is celebrating three years of Meloni's government and aiming for a repeat. "Not just a government for the legislature, but a government of change, one that takes Italy by the hand" in the face of "monstrous challenges," they claim from the stage of the Parco dei Principi hotel in the capital, in a room packed with elected officials and supporters. "This is the first time in the history of the Italian Republic that the parties supporting the government have more support after three years in office than when they began. Normally, governing in Italy was exhausting..." says Giovanni Donzelli from the Tuscan capital, who then raises the stakes on the prime ministerial post, to be approved by 2027.

"Italy is back on the podium everywhere, because it had great potential and because today it has a government that helps it harness this potential, transforming it into wealth and value," emphasized Agriculture Minister Francesco Lollobrigida. In his lengthy speech in Rome, he also addressed tariffs and the latest controversy sparked by a video reposted by Donald Trump: "The treaties state that negotiations with third countries are the responsibility of the EU, and therefore we work together with the EU. An agreement has been reached."

The Agriculture Minister seems convinced that US tariffs "won't have a major impact" on the agri-food sector, and even goes so far as to say: "I'm willing to bet that things will continue to go well." Wine? "You're at risk with your competitors," but European ones "have the same tariffs as us, and you're at risk with South Africa, which makes excellent wines, but Trump imposed a 30% tariff on them, so paradoxically, he almost did us a favor."

Melonians claim the ability to speak to all Italians, even a left-wing electorate, with concrete measures. Hence, emphasizes Deputy Speaker Fabio Rampelli, "the aggressive reaction" of a "brutal and prejudiced" opposition—in short, "anti-Italian." This "is the government of change and the government of the people."

It's up to the party's Roman coordinator, Marco Perissa, to recall its origins: "We weren't born in September 2022; we come from a long way back," "we are the fruit of the union between the anger of a people and the desire for redemption." Today, "Fratelli d'Italia" has become "the home of all those who recognized and identified with a principle of common sense in a system of Catholic-inspired values, which leverages the best of civil society. Thus was born a political project that acquires a majoritarian vocation."

Deputy Minister of Economy Maurizio Leo addressed taxes, challenging the center-left's claim that the government is raising taxes: "We're lowering them," the opposition "doesn't have a good grasp of the rudiments of economic science." And, he promised, "another five years await us in 2027" on the same trajectory. Deputy Minister of Labor Maria Teresa Bellucci emphasized that in three years, "over 1 million jobs have been created, achieving a historic result." Meanwhile, Culture Committee Chairman Federico Mollicone noted: "We've already implemented 80% of the Brothers of Italy's cultural platform."
