POLICY WIRE — Rome, Italy — Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni is on the brink of making history. On September 4, her administration will surpass the 1,412 consecutive days set by Silvio Berlusconi in 2005, marking the longest-serving government in Italy since World War Two.
Meloni’s government, which took office in October 2022, has brought unprecedented stability to a nation known for its political volatility. However, this stability may be fleeting. Analysts predict that the 2027 parliamentary elections could usher in a more fragmented political landscape.
The potential for a return to coalition instability looms large. Italy’s postwar political history has been characterized by revolving-door governments, and the next election could see this trend resume. Internal coalition tensions, economic challenges, and the rise of new political forces on the right further complicate the outlook.
Despite the record, the financial credibility boost for Italy may be temporary. The country’s political landscape remains unpredictable, with the possibility of reverting to the instability that has defined much of its recent history.
