ROMULA - In the solemn setting of Quattroregni Palace, the new Minister Imperial Secretary of State Marina Cantalamessa officially took the oath of office before His Majesty Emperor Tommaso V alongside her Government team, assuming leadership of the government following the vote of confidence expressed by Congress. Yesterday's ceremony officially marks the beginning of a new political phase for the country, that of the first Green-led government in Imperial State's history (and historians can hardly recall whetger there has ever been a government led by a green party in Istalian history) supported by the Alliance of Change, the more than twenty-years old coalition that led the country for the last 4 legislature that included Social Democrats, Green and the New Communists, but now with the previous indisputed PSD leadership replaced by the one of the Greens' Movement.

The new government presents itself as a model of renewal and openness: more attentive to markets and global dynamics, but firmly anchored in the principles of social justice, equity and solidarity. A balance that, according to Cantalamessa herself, "will demonstrate that the economy and environmental awareness can not only coexist, but thrive together".

The inauguration of the new leadership was greeted enthusiastically by financial markets: the Romula's RISE composite index recorded a significant increase in the first hours following the announcement, while the Imperial Lira strengthened on international markets. According to analysts, the more liberal and technocratic component of the Greens, which gained ground within the coalition after the last elections, sent a signal to the markets of prudent, modern and stability-oriented management, but also ethical and moral, considering that the Greens were the party less affected by the Satta Scandal, their members today view as the embodiment of seriusness and legality on the political stage.

Cantalamessa, considered a figure balancing environmental rigor with reformist economic sensibilities, assured that "the new government season will consolidate the achievements of previous progressive executives, promoting virtuosity and solidarity always, more, caring for free enterprise and the dynamism of the Istalian markets".

During her first official speech after being sworn in, the Minister Secretary of State focused in outlining the new government's economic plan, which focuses on the international promotion of the Istalian Lira and the integration of green policies with the most advanced tools of global finance.

Istalia should be proud of the solidity of its economy and the maturity of its financial system. The Imperial Lira is already a strong currency, a symbol of stability and responsibility. Our task will be to further strengthen its credibility and attractiveness, linking it to the green transition in order to promote an opportunity for development and prosperity for all.

According to government sources, the plan includes strengthening independence of monetary policy, further tools for the already well estalished responsible debt management of the country, and an advanced green finance system capable of attracting international capital and supporting industrial modernization and conversion.
On the foreign front, the Government will focus on increasing the presence of Istalia on international stage through new international and supernational agreements, and also on increasing the presence of the Istalian Lira in global trade and financial flows through targeted promotional instruments linked to green and social economy.

In her speech, the new Prime Minister emphasized the moral and civic value of the new strategy:

Our economic and environmental policies are designed to increase the well-being of Istalians, ensure market stability and promote a sustainable development model that respects the planet and its inhabitants. The Imperial Lira will not only can be a currency of exchange, but a symbol of the trust and responsibility that Istalia intends to offer the world.

Words that embody the spirit of the new course: a "green" economic internationalism, aimed at strengthening Istalian reputation and economic scope while respecting the principles of solidarity and global justice.

Cantalamessa finally acknowledged the achievements of previous progressive governments, reserving praise and words of affection for the former Minister Secretary of State Fabrizio Moccia, described by Cantalamessa without hesitation as the most influential head of government in the history of the Imperial State and one of the greatest statesmen in the history of Istalia, who over almost two decades have consolidated Istalia's reputation as a reliable and socially responsible economy, increased the prosperity and well being of Istalians and its reputation internationally, promoted the evolution of a fair and cohesive society, increasing opportunities as well as protection for our citizens.

The policies of this responsible left, that clearly showed its sensibility towards the reality of the world and that was able to balance its principles and values with a modern and pragmatic approach, have built solid foundations. Today we are building on that legacy to go further: integrating sustainability with competitiveness, solidarity with innovation, economic progress with respect for future generations.

Under the leadership of Fabrizio Moccia, Istalia already showed that green economy, partecipative models of entrepreneurship and a market which care to solidarity and fairness can be profitable and ensure sustainable grow as well as solidity and stability to our economy.

Now, we can further consolidate these achievements, hoping to promote and expand such models also outside our borders, conscious of the fact that the Istalians and all the other peoples of the world live on the same, unique planet and that every nation of the world should strive to offer a preserved future for the generations that will follow us.

With these words, the new Minister Secretary of State officially gave further hints of what many observers already expect to be the most ambitious plan in the recent economic history of the Imperial State, which recalls and seems to want to claim the legecy of the great season of reforms initiated at the start of the Moccia governments, a phase that promises to be more liberal and market-focused compared to the PSD-led governments, but always deeply rooted in the social and moral values that define the tradition of the Istalian left and of the Alliance of Change.
