Government reshuffle, who stays and who goes among the ministers: Meloni's choices

Meloni government, which ministers are at risk of leaving in the event of a reshuffle? Despite the apparent tranquility displayed by the majority, there are several rumors of a possible cut to the executive after the European elections in June.
After all, in the history of Italian politics, government reshuffles are almost normal and even the one led for a year and a half by Giorgia Meloni may not be an exception.
But first we will have to bypass the very delicate European elections.
This week on the calendar there are two motions of no confidence against as many ministers of the Meloni government: the first concerns Daniela Santanchè and the second Matteo Salvini.
Both should be rejected by the large centre-right majority.
Since the first controversies, Prime Minister Meloni has always defended all the members of her government, also because a first change between her ministers could represent a precedent.
This is why although Santanchè's position is very heavy, Pitonessa will remain firmly in place at least until June.
In fact, the European elections could create new balances in the government majority, with the latest polls showing Forza Italia ahead of a League that is increasingly in difficulty, while Fratelli d'Italia aims to confirm itself at the levels of the latest policies.
But who are the ministers who would be at risk in the event of a government reshuffle? So let's look at the purses of the executive members to understand who would be shaky and who would have very little to fear.

Antonio Tajani (Forza Italia), Foreign Affairs and Vice President of the Council – 100% Matteo Piantedosi (technical), Interior – 60% Carlo Nordio (Fratelli d'Italia), Justice – 60% Guido Crosetto (technical), Defense – 100% Giancarlo Giorgetti (Lega), Economy – 30% Adolfo Urso (Fratelli d'Italia), Business and Made in Italy – 90% Francesco Lollobrigida (Fratelli d'Italia), Agriculture – 100% Paolo Zangrillo (Forza Italia), Public Administration – 50 % Matteo Salvini (Lega), Infrastructure – 100% Marina Calderone (technical), Work – 80% Giuseppe Valditara (Lega), Education – 60% Anna Maria Bernini (Forza Italia), University – 90% Gennaro Sangiuliano (Fratelli d'Italia ), Culture – 90% Orazio Schillaci (technician), Health – 80% Daniela Santanchè (Fratelli d'Italia), Tourism – 20% Luca Ciriani (Fratelli d'Italia), Relations with Parliament – 100% Gilberto Pichetto Fratin (Forza Italy), Environment – 40% Roberto Calderoli (Lega), Regional Affairs – 100% Sebastiano Musumeci (Brothers of Italy), Policies of the Sea and the South – 80% Raffaele Fitto (Brothers of Italy), European Affairs and Pnrr – 60% Andrea Abodi (technician), Sport and Youth – 90% Eugenia Maria Roccella (Fratelli d'Italia), Family – 90% Alessandra Locatelli (Lega), Disability – 70% Maria Elisabetta Alberti Casellati (Forza Italia), Reforms – 90% Giorgia Meloni could endorse a change between her ministers essentially for three reasons: dissatisfaction with the work, rebalancing of political weight within the majority parties and transfer of one of the members of the executive to Brussels.
In fact, it must be remembered that after the European elections the government will have to indicate the name of Italy's commissioner: everything in this regard would make one think of Giancarlo Giorgetti, but if Fratelli d'Italia wanted to send one of its own representatives to Palazzo Berlaymont, then it would be up to Raffaele Fitto.
However, the person who risks the most within the Meloni government is Daniela Santanchè: the majority will reject the motion of no confidence against her, but Giorgia Meloni could still ask her to take a step back given the legal events that are affecting Pitonessa.
The actions of Gilberto Pichetto Fratin and Paolo Zangrillo, however, do not seem to convince the prime minister, with the future of the two ministers potentially linked to the result of Forza Italia in the European elections.
The same goes for Alessandra Locatelli, Matteo Piantedosi and Giuseppe Valditara in the League, who could be "sacrificed" in the event of a flop in the Northern League.
Matteo Salvini, on the other hand, does not risk the position of minister at the European elections, but that of secretary of the League, while despite the gaffes, minister Francesco Lollobrigida, Giorgia Meloni's brother-in-law, appears to be firmly established in Agriculture.
