On 22 October 2022 Matteo Salvini swore the oath as deputy prime minister and minister of infrastructure and transport in Giorgia Meloni’s cabinet. Interior went to Matteo Piantedosi.

Context

He had left Interior in 2019. Piantedosi is unresolved.

22 October 2022 oath. Stored as one 22 October 2022 Fact. Keep Salvini sworn deputy prime minister and minister of infrastructure in the Meloni cabinet on 2022-10-22 separate from neighbouring 4 October 2018 d.l. 113, 22 October 2022 oath, 2 January 2023 d.l. 1, and 20 December 2024 Open Arms acquittal.

The League secretary who is deputy prime minister and minister of infrastructure and transport can countersign a decree of concerto, bind the party, and administer ports. He does not sit as the interior minister after 22 October 2022, as the Constitutional Court, or as a Palermo kidnapping-trial panel. A 2018 gazette is not authorship of every later NGO detention. Sharing a cabinet with Giorgia Meloni is not a reason to drop 4 October 2018.

Why it matters

The path is the owned League-hardline driver: a completed return to cabinet that placed him over ports while Interior continued the closed-ports line.

What the sources establish

Reuters carries the official instrument or communique. Associated Press records the same dated act independently.

Established: He swore the 22 October 2022 oath as deputy PM and MIT. Interior is Piantedosi.

Not established: Authorship of every later Interior circular as unique size, or a unique port-investment coefficient.

Sharing the cabinet with Meloni is not a reason to drop 22 October 2022.. A later repeal, court stay, or successor order would be a different Fact with a different date. That pair identifies Salvini sworn deputy prime minister and minister of infrastructure in the Meloni cabinet, not a later speech about Salvini sworn deputy prime minister and minister of infrastructure in the Meloni cabinet.

Co-authors and later implementers named in Context remain on the file. If a later repeal, stay, or successor instrument exists, it needs its own date and its own row. The contribution described on this Person row is limited to He accepted the deputy-PM and MIT oath. That limit is the alternative to treating office-holding as authorship of every later series.
