At the Forum Teha in Cernobbio, opposition leaders in Italy, including Elly Schlein of the Democratic Party, Carlo Calenda of Azione, and Giuseppe Conte of the Five Star Movement, voiced strong critiques of the current government's policies.

Calenda criticized the government's inability to manage the country effectively, highlighting the need for investment in healthcare and a clear strategy for energy transition.

Schlein emphasized the importance of a pragmatic approach to governance, advocating for investments in healthcare and gender equality in the workforce.

Conte called for a new Next Generation EU plan to stabilize economic growth and criticized the government's focus on primary surplus, which he argues leads to increased taxes and cuts.

The leaders collectively stressed the need for a comprehensive economic strategy to ensure sustainable growth and competitiveness in Europe.
