Italy's new PM, gov't sworn in_我的网站

A |     Rome, Oct 22 (UNI) The new Italian government formed by appointed Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni was officially sworn in at the presidential Palace on Saturday.

Meloni had been formally appointed and accepted the mandate on Friday, after being summoned by President Sergio Mattarella at the end of his short round of consultations with all parties' leaders in parliament.

If Meloni and her cabinet pass confidence vote at the parliament, she will serve as the country's first female prime minister ever.

Italy held a snap general election on Sept. 25, following the resignation of Mario Draghi as prime minister in July, which put an end to a government of national unity that led the country for some 17 months.

Meloni -- the leader of right-wing Brothers of Italy -- was asked to form the new government after her party won 26 percent of votes in the recent polls, ending up as the most voted force.

She had run the campaign with her two coalition allies, the center-right Forza Italia party of former prime minister Silvio Berlusconi and the anti-immigrant and Eurosceptic League led by Matteo Salvini, both of which gained a little over 8 percent of the votes.

As such, the right-wing coalition marked a clear victory and, with the current mainly first-past-the-post electoral system, was able to secure a solid majority of seats in both the chambers of the Italian parliament.

The swearing ceremony took place at the Quirinal presidential palace on Saturday morning.

Overall, Brothers of Italy named 9 ministers in the cabinet, while League and Forza Italia 5 ministers each. Further 5 cabinet posts will be covered by technocrat figures.

Now, after being officially sworn in, the cabinet will need the confidence of both the Lower House and the Senate in order to enter into force. The voting will take place on two separate days next week.

The new cabinet would count 24 ministers, including some key figures. These include Giancarlo Giorgietti, who would serve as Economy and Finance minister after being Industry minister in the previous cabinet, and Antonio Tajani as next minister of Foreign Affairs and as one of the two deputy prime ministers named by Meloni.

League's leader Matteo Salvini will serve as minister of Infrastructure, and as deputy prime minister as well. Matteo Piantedosi, a former chief of staff to Salvini, will be the next Interior minister, while Aldolfo Urso and Guido Crosetto -- both from Meloni's Brothers of Italy -- would serve as Industry minister and Defence minister, respectively.

UNI/XINHUA GNK。    Search for China’s wild elephants, and you’ll find headlines like these: “Elephants are running out of habitat” and “Human-elephant conflict.”    Reuters once noted that while China’s wild elephant population was recovering, their available habitat had come under increasing pressure, potentially increasing the risk of human-elephant conflict.    The report also raised a broader question: How Xishuangbanna protects its elephants and ecosystems may help shape China’s broader relationship with nature.    So, what do the facts show?    August 12 is World Elephant Day, while August 15 marks China’s National Ecology Day and the day China’s Ecological and Environmental Code officially takes effect.    In 2021, a herd of wild Asian elephants in Yunnan traveled more than 1,400 kilometers over 124 days, drawing worldwide attention.    Today, China’s wild Asian elephant population has grown to nearly 400. From nature reserves and dedicated feeding grounds to early-warning systems and a strengthening legal framework, China is exploring a new balance between people and elephants.    Masood Khalid, former Pakistani ambassador to China, said China has achieved “all-round development” through people-centric policies. He noted that China could share its expertise, knowledge and technology with developing countries, particularly under the Belt and Road Initiative and the Global Development Initiative, “so that they are better equipped to preserve wildlife.”    K.D. Parakum Shantha, mayor of Dehiwala-Mount Lavinia, Sri Lanka, also highlighted Xishuangbanna’s approach to development. He said Xishuangbanna protects the elephants in the rainforest while the city has developed within the rainforest without destroying the local ecology, calling it “a very great thing.”    The Asian elephant story offers a window into China’s broader system of environmental governance. As China’s new energy vehicle, photovoltaic and wind power industries continue to grow, its ecological practices are contributing more experience and momentum to the global green transition.
