Meloni Marks Three Years in Power With Italy’s Third-Longest Postwar Government

Reliance on EU recovery funds has pushed her toward pragmatic alignment with Brussels.

Overview

  • Her center-right coalition has reached 1,094 days in office, placing third for longevity since World War II, with analysts saying it is likely to complete the term to 2027.
  • The government tightened security laws by limiting protest rights and expanding the powers of police, the military and intelligence services.
  • On migration, it advanced tougher asylum policies, including plans for processing or deportation centers in Albania and opposition to civilian sea rescue operations.
  • Social measures target LGBTQI+ families’ rights and propose banning discussion of trans and non-binary identities in primary and middle schools.
  • Meloni highlights economic progress as borrowing costs ease, the deficit is forecast to narrow toward 3%, and Fitch upgrades Italy’s rating, while she prioritizes security and energy prices for the rest of the term.
