Meloni to become Italy's longest-serving Prime Minister
Giorgia Meloni is set to become the longest-serving Prime Minister in the history of the Italian Republic. By early September 2026, her administration will have completed 1,413 consecutive days in office, surpassing the previous record of 1,412 days held by Silvio Berlusconi’s second government.
Meloni, the first woman to hold the position, assumed office in October 2022. Supporters credit her administration with maintaining fiscal control over the national deficit and debt, while overseeing an increase of 1.2 million jobs. However, the milestone is met with political debate. Opposition leaders have criticized the government's performance, citing high inflation and the rising cost of living as significant burdens on Italian families.
As the government prepares to celebrate this achievement with a major event in Bari, analysts note that the political landscape remains complex. While the Meloni administration has demonstrated unexpected stability in a country historically known for frequent government changes, concerns persist regarding potential fragmentation in the political scene ahead of the 2027 elections.
