Meloni breaks longevity record in Italy but reconfirmation is not assured

SIC Notícias4 September 2026 at 06:45

Giorgia Meloni became Italy's longest-serving prime minister since World War II, completing 1,400 days in office. However, despite this historic milestone, her reconfirmation in government is not assured.

The Italian leader maintains the lead in opinion polls, which gives her some political legitimacy. Meloni claims successes in areas such as combating irregular immigration and foreign policy as arguments in her favor.

Nonetheless, the prime minister faces a difficult conjuncture that calls into question her continuity. The article does not specify exactly what challenges threaten her mandate, but suggests that internal and external factors complicate her political scenario.

Montenegro wants "national understanding" on Social Security reform. Is it possible?

Prime Minister Luís Montenegro expressed the desire for a "national understanding" about Social Security reform, so that any reform would be committed to by all parties, regardless of electoral results. Experts who studied the system for a year and a half also appealed for a broader consensus, arguing that structural reforms are only sustainable with multi-party agreement. However, political scientists consulted by ECO consider such understanding "more than unlikely in this legislature," pointing to polarization in Parliament and the position of Chega, which has already publicly rejected the reform and insists on reducing the retirement age. The Government itself has already ruled out advancing with a structural reform, and the PS accused the report of opening the way to privatization of the public system.
