Overview
- The three leaders met Friday night at Meloni’s Rome residence to coordinate the response to the referendum defeat and map next steps for the coalition.
- Hours before the dinner, the Council of Ministers approved a decree that restores previous tax rules on dividends and capital gains and extends hyper‑depreciation to all capital goods to spur investment.
- Parliament will open work Tuesday on the ruling bloc’s election-law plan, a proportional system with a majority bonus, with one rapporteur named from each majority party to steer the bill.
- Meloni is weighing a targeted reshuffle, with reports of shifting Adolfo Urso to Tourism and bringing a heavyweight into Industry, plus added support at Justice, in a bid to relaunch the government.
- With fuel tax relief due to expire on April 7, the government is considering a further cut to excise duties as diesel and gasoline prices climb and household costs rise.
