Meloni's Government Becomes the Longest-Lasting in Post-War Italy

RTP Notícias1 September 2026 at 06:40

Giorgia Meloni's far-right government becomes on Friday the longest-lasting in post-war Italian history, reaching this unprecedented milestone. The achievement represents a significant moment in Italian politics, given the country's history of unstable governments.

The record comes at a time of considerable challenges for the Italian prime minister. With next year's elections approaching, Meloni faces the challenge of maintaining the stability and popularity that allowed her to remain in power for such a long period.

This government thus becomes a rare case in Italian politics, known for its instability and frequent changes of executive since the end of the Second World War.

Sánchez points to Russia and Israel in the Ceuta crisis. "Only it wasn't Moscow that transported them by truck" and Tel Aviv "does not have and never has had" a disinformation policy like Russia's

Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez pointed to Russia and Israel as responsible for the migratory crisis in Ceuta, but the former director of SIED, Jorge Silva Carvalho, considers these accusations exaggerated. Although he recognizes that Russia has been using immigration for years as an instrument of hybrid warfare and social media to deepen divisions in European democracies, the intelligence specialist pointed out that Moscow was not directly responsible for transporting migrants by truck and that Israel never had a disinformation policy comparable to the Russian one. In his analysis, these disinformation campaigns continue to be effective because their main objective is to empower the extremes in democratic societies.
