Meloni surpasses Berlusconi as longest-serving Italian PM for 80 years

Jump to contentAllNewsSportCultureLifestyleItalian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni has set a new political record by leading the longest-serving uninterrupted government in Italy since World War Two, surpassing the previous record of 1,412 days set by Silvio Berlusconi in 2005. Meloni, who became Rome's first female prime minister in October 2022, heads a right-wing coalition comprising Brothers of Italy, the League, and Forza Italia, and has softened her previous far-right populist stance while in office. Defined by fiscal conservatism and a hard-line policy on immigration, Meloni's premiership continues to promote conservative social values, including opposition to gay marriage and gender ideology. Despite once being labelled the 'Trump Whisperer', Meloni has recently engaged in public spats with US President Donald Trump over military airbase usage and his criticisms of the Pope. In a bid to maintain political stability ahead of the 2027 parliamentary elections, her ruling coalition is advancing a controversial electoral reform bill that guarantees a parliamentary majority to any political bloc winning over 42 per cent of the vote.
