Opposition Demands Meloni’s Report on National Recovery Plan Implementation

Rome: All centre-left opposition groups in the Lower House on Thursday called on Premier Giorgia Meloni to report to parliament on the state of the implementation of the National Recovery and Resilience Plan (NRRP). The request was made at the beginning of the morning session after the Audit Court had reported earlier on Thursday that Italy was in line with targets set out in the NRRP and the National Complementary Plan (NCP) examined in 2024 but critical issues would require monitoring ahead of a June 2026 deadline.

According to Ansa News Agency, press reports have claimed that Economy Minister Giancarlo Giorgetti allegedly intends to ask for an extension of the deadline until 2027. Lawmakers from the Democratic Party (PD), Five-Star Movement (M5S), Green-Left Alliance (AVS), Azione and Italia Viva (IV) intervened, demanding a full report.

“We ask for an urgent report to clarify the situation of the NRRP,” said PD lawmaker Piero De Luca. He emphasized that the premier should be “transparent” as “the government has the duty to explain, this situation cannot be tolerated anymore.”
