Matteo Renzi tells Giorgia Meloni her tax evasion recovery success came from his Leopolda Fisco 2.0 proposals.

Matteo Renzi opens by addressing Giorgia Meloni directly, claiming her government's recovery of tax evasion success stems from his Leopolda Fisco 2.0 proposals. He notes she now contrasts past positions on energy sovereignty, including debates on drilling and the Melendugno TAP. Renzi shifts to Italy's demographic crisis, stating 200,000 young people are leaving the country, leading to birth rates falling below 1,000 per day and under 365,000 annually. He criticizes internship policies that pay zero euros, driving youth to Switzerland, France, or Canada. Renzi mentions the Startax proposal from Tommaso at Leopolda as a topic for discussion. He contrasts Germany's plan to invest 100 billion euros annually in infrastructure for 2026-2028 with Italy's PNRR being blocked since June, lacking a future horizon. Renzi references Salvini and Lameloni's housing promises, questioning their credibility. He asserts his group avoids tax increases and invests in tax pressure, similar to Lameloni's approach. Renzi explains the Leopolda committee includes a guarantor committee of ten professors, five women and five men, to ensure gender parity. He describes a political steering committee designed to keep doors open for new participants. Renzi critiques Meloni's statement that 'no rekindles' as confusing, then analyzes her political positioning as a leader of European movements against Europeanists. He lists her foreign policy failures: in Poland, her supported side lost to Tusk; in Spain, her ally Abascal lost to Sanchez; in the UK, her preferred candidate lost. Renzi mentions Orban receiving support from Salvini. He concludes by referencing Barack Obama's 2008 primary loss and 'Yes, we can' message, urging focus on ideas over names to win elections for the center-left, secure a Europeanist presidency, and help the middle class recover.
