Italy PM Meloni soon to be longest-serving since WW2

On Friday, Giorgia Meloni's administration will become Italy's longest-serving

uninterrupted government since World War II.

But as the record falls, what has Italy gained from this period of relative

political stability?

Analyst Lorenzo Pregliasco said, "For Meloni, in spite of having a wide and stable majority, and in spite lasting four years,

she was not able to achieve much in terms of structural reforms."

"There were several key institutional reforms, only one went through:

the judiciary reform and then it was rejected by voters at a referendum.

So what needs to be said is that for Meloni maybe the current credibility

has more to do with the international scene and with her perceived ability to move

on the international scene rather than from her ability

to achieve results for the economy or the Italian society," said Pregliasco.

Italy will see key elections in 2027. After nearly four years in office,

she enters the legislature's final stretch having avoided the crises

that routinely toppled earlier governments.

However, the debate heading into 2027 is no longer whether Meloni

can govern, but whether voters believe her government delivered

enough to deserve another term.
