Renzi: “Congratulations to the first female Prime Minister, we will vote against confidence”
“Good job for the Meloni government. We will be in opposition but congratulations to the first woman to lead an executive in Italy. The first of a long series, hopefully. We will vote against the confidence. Good job for the majority and good work to the two oppositions, both reformist and populist. Long live Italy, long live democracy”. Thus, on Fecebook, Matteo Renzi, leader of Italia Viva.
Letta: ‘The only news is a leading woman, a historical fact for our country’
“After listening to the list, the names and the denominations of the Meloni government, I say even more with conviction opposition, opposition, opposition. The only novelty is a female prime minister, a historical fact for our country, objectively to recognize”.
