Meloni breaks Italian record: leads the longest government since World War II

Público3 September 2026 at 19:00

Giorgia Meloni reached a historic milestone by becoming the Italian prime minister with the longest mandate since World War II. The leader of the Brothers of Italy party surpassed all her predecessors in the role since 1945.

The feat is celebrated by her party as a symbol of stability previously unheard of in Italy, a country known for political instability. Over the past eight decades, the country has seen no fewer than 68 different governments.

However, the article points out that this governmental longevity occurred during a term marked by the absence of major structural reforms. In other words, the stability achieved was not accompanied by significant transformations in the country.
