Giorgia Meloni's Government Poised to Become Italy's Longest‑Serving

Former Five Star Movement deputy Roberto Traversi announced his switch to Fratelli d'Italia, praising Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni for maintaining institutional stability and a sound public‑finance framework amid a complex geopolitical environment.

Fratelli d'Italia also scheduled a rally in Bari for 4 September 2026, framing the event as a celebration of the Meloni cabinet’s expected record tenure. Party officials claim the government will surpass the second Berlusconi administration, highlighting its longevity as evidence of coalition cohesion and effective governance across labour, economy, immigration, security and foreign policy.
