Giorgia Meloni breaks a record: has been in government longer than anyone in (modern) Italian history

TVI Notícias4 September 2026 at 20:25

Giorgia Meloni achieved a historic milestone by becoming the person to remain longest in office as prime minister of Italy in the country's modern history. This feat represents a significant achievement in the Italian political landscape, marked by frequent government changes.

Meloni has held the position since she took the helm of the Italian government. The milestone is particularly notable given the Italian tradition of unstable and short-lived governments over the past few decades.

Meloni's government has not yet completed four years in office. Even so, she has already surpassed all her predecessors in terms of continuous time in power in the contemporary era.

This record reflects an apparent political stabilization under Meloni's leadership, who managed to remain in office longer than any other Italian prime minister since the post-war period.
