Piazza Don Bosco in Potenza is a quiet place, thanks to the weather. Centre-right leaders gathered after a group photo and before singing the national anthem to express their support for outgoing Vito Bardi and reaffirm the unity of the alliance. Salvini from the League stated they will govern until the end of the legislature, while Tajani from Fi emphasized that the broad field is united, including support from centrists. Prime Minister Meloni launched a strong attack on the left, declaring an end to a “Banana Republic” where wrongdoers evade punishment.
