Meloni government set to become Italy's longest-lasting

Hard-right coalition nears postwar record amid challenges ahead of elections

Giorgia Meloni's hard-right government on Friday becomes the longest-lasting in Italy's postwar history, a notable record that belies considerable challenges ahead of elections next year, according to The Local Italy.

The milestone marks a striking departure from the chronic political instability that has defined Italian governance for decades, where governments have frequently collapsed within a year or two of taking office.

For a nation long accustomed to revolving-door premierships, the longevity of the current administration signals a shift in the country's political landscape, even as its leader faces mounting pressures on multiple fronts.
