Giorgia Meloni's government entered history this Friday as the longest-lasting in the last 80 years of the Italian Republic. The prime minister celebrated this milestone and attributed the record to the cohesion of the right-wing coalition that supports the executive.
The milestone did not, however, silence the criticism from the Italian opposition. The rival parties classified the four years of government as wasted time, countering the prime minister's narrative of success.
The government longevity record represents a significant achievement in the recent Italian political context, considering that no government since the post-war period had managed to remain in power continuously for such a long time.
