Meloni’s Government Sets Italy’s Longest Postwar Administration Record

Meloni’s Government Sets Italy’s Longest Postwar Administration Record

Giorgia Meloni’s government is about to become Italy’s longest-lasting government since World War II.

It will have been in power for 1,413 days.

This is unusual because Italy has had nearly 70 governments in about 80 years.

Meloni’s supporters say her government has kept the country more stable and managed money carefully.

They also say Italy has become more influential in Europe.

Critics say the government has not done enough to improve people’s wages, health care or everyday lives.

Important promises about justice, the prime minister’s powers and regional autonomy remain unfinished.

Many voters are worried about living costs, security, immigration and public services.

The next national election is expected in 2027, but low turnout and divisions among opposition parties could shape the result.
