1.412 days: Meloni's political stability record

Observador3 September 2026 at 10:27

Giorgia Meloni reached this Friday a historic milestone by becoming the Prime Minister leading the longest-serving government in Italian democracy, completing 1,412 days in power. This achievement represents unprecedented political stability in the often volatile landscape of Italian politics.

The Italian leader managed to stay in office surviving the political chaos characteristic of Rome, where government changes are frequent. Her tenure in power contrasts with the tradition of unstable coalitions and short-lived governments that have marked the country's political history.

Political alliances and foreign policy were key elements that asserted and strengthened Meloni's leadership throughout this period. This combination of factors allowed her to consolidate her power in a sustained manner.

PSP commander calls for more police in Lisbon and "less alarmist speeches"

The commander of the Lisbon Metropolitan Command (Cometlis) of the PSP, Luís Elias, advocated on Thursday for a reinforcement of police officers for the largest command in the country, which covers nine municipalities and approximately three million people, warning that the current force of six thousand police officers is the "minimum" necessary. In an interview with the Notícias ao Minuto agency, the chief superintendent also called for "less alarmist speeches" about security, arguing that crime in the Cometlis area only increased 2.9% in the first eight months of the year, while violent and serious crime decreased 0.4%. Luís Elias emphasized that security must be done in "co-production" with municipalities and that the Lisbon City Council should be part of the solution, not contributing to public alarmism.
