Italy weighs the results as Giorgia Meloni’s government sets a longevity record
- On Thursday, Meloni's conservative administration became Italy's longest-serving uninterrupted government since World War II at 1,413 days, surpassing the record set by the late Silvio Berlusconi between 2001-2005.
- While political instability has reshaped governments across Europe, including the United Kingdom and France, Meloni has maintained the same coalition since taking office, staving off crises that toppled previous administrations.
- Defense Minister Guido Crosetto said Meloni is "reaping exactly what she deserves" regarding international credibility; supporters point to 1.2 million stable jobs created and unemployment below 6%.
- However, political analyst Lorenzo Pregliasco noted the government has not achieved much in terms of structural reforms, while former Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte cited soaring inflation and economic stagnation.
- Meloni and her party will celebrate this feat with a rally in Bari on Friday, as the government targets an uninterrupted five-year term heading toward elections due by the end of 2027.
