Forza Italia firmly opposes third term for governors in 2025

The debate on the third term for governors has once again inflamed the Italian political scene, but Forza Italia is not changing course. “We have not discussed it, but we remain against it, we are not changing our position. We are ready to discuss, but our position is one of opposition, not against anyone,” states firmly the leader of Forza Italia and deputy prime minister Antonio Tajani.

The political context

The issue of a third mandate was raised by Fratelli d'Italia, generating a series of reactions among the government forces. Raffaele Nevi, national spokesman for Forza Italia, clearly expressed his party's point of view: "Our line remains the same and does not change, we are not in favor of a third mandate". A clear position that reflects a well-defined political culture, far from opportunism.

A question of culture and politics

Nevi stressed that Forza Italia’s opposition is not aimed at specific figures like Luca Zaia or Vincenzo De Luca, but is based on a broader political philosophy. “The two-term limit for regional presidents must remain,” he insisted. “Otherwise, there is a risk of giving one person too much power, with the danger of encrustations that are difficult to remove in the long term.”

The allies' reactions

This position has provoked different reactions among the government allies. While some political forces seem in favor of a revision of the legislation, Forza Italia remains firm in its position. The debate is heating up further, with questions that remain unanswered: will the alliance between the parties hold up in the face of this divergence of views? And what will be the consequences for the government?

An uncertain future

Given the current situation, the political future remains uncertain. Despite the willingness to talk with allies, Forza Italia does not intend to give in on this crucial point. Italian politics is at a crossroads, and the issue of the third mandate could prove to be a real watershed. It will be interesting to observe how the internal dynamics will evolve and what compromises, if any, will be reached.
