Meritocrazia Italia VIII National Congress

The Meritocrazia Italia movement held its VIII National Congress at the Teatro Quirino in Rome, focusing on transitioning from theoretical ideas to concrete programmatic proposals under the theme ‘The Political Agenda of Merit – UTILE’ (Equality, Transparency, Education, Labor, Economy).

Despite nationwide strikes occurring in Italy, the event drew over 620 participants, including delegates, professionals, and institutional representatives. National President Walter Mauriello highlighted several legislative proposals aimed at social and economic reform. A primary focus was the introduction of a ‘Testo Unico sull’Intelligenza Artificiale’ (Unified Text on Artificial Intelligence), a proposed framework designed to regulate innovation while protecting human labor, craftsmanship, and professional dignity from being entirely replaced by algorithms.

Additional legislative priorities presented include a Unified Text for Social Affairs, meritocratic reforms for Public Administration, healthcare improvements, and protections for families and education. The organization also advocated for peace as an “institutional vocation,” calling for international dialogue and a commitment to the Italian Constitution. Furthermore, the congress approved a motion to strengthen active citizenship initiatives across Italy to encourage higher voter participation.
