If the Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni If he remains in power until October 2025, his government will be one of the three longest in Italy's post-war history. Since taking office in October 2022, Meloni has consolidated his leadership, facing economic and political challenges on the European stage.
The milestone is significant, considering the political instability that characterizes Italian politics. Between 1946 and 2022, the country has had more than 60 governments, with mandates often interrupted by political crises and coalition changes.
If he reaches the third anniversary of his presidency, Meloni will join leaders such as Silvio Berlusconi, whose mandate between 2001 and 2005 was among the longest, and Alcide De Gasperi, Prime Minister during the early years of the Italian Republic.
Experts point out that the cohesion of its right-wing coalition, formed by Fratelli d'Italia, Lega and Forza Italia, has been a crucial factor in its stability so far.
However, internal and external pressures remain important challenges on the political horizon.
