Analysis Documents & data Context piece
  • Giorgia Meloni’s government has lasted 1,413 days, surpassing Silvio Berlusconi’s record, while her Brothers of Italy party remains the leading force in voting intentions.
  • Despite that support, a YouTrend poll found that 53% of Italians believe the government is heading in the wrong direction and 59% view Meloni negatively.
  • The emergence of Roberto Vannacci’s far-right party poses a potential threat to the coalition’s political balance.

Giorgia Meloni has now spent 1,413 days at the head of Italy’s government, breaking the longevity record previously held by Silvio Berlusconi. Her coalition has remained stable, and her direct communication on social media has helped her retain the support of her voters.

The people vomit you.

· Unknown personThe phrase was written across a poster of Giorgia Meloni in Bari.

Yet the picture is sharply divided. On a poster inviting residents of Bari to celebrate four years of commitment to the nation with her, Meloni appears relaxed, looking toward the horizon. Someone has scrawled across the image: “The people vomit you.”

The same day, a YouTrend poll offered another measure of the tension surrounding her government. Fifty-three percent of Italians said the executive was “heading in the wrong direction,” while 59% said they held a negative opinion of Meloni.

four years of commitment to the nation

· Poster wordingThe slogan invited residents of Bari to celebrate Meloni’s time in government.

Her party, Brothers of Italy, nevertheless remains at the top of voting intentions. It attracts between 26% and 30% of voters, still above the result that brought it to power in 2022. That resilience is now facing a new challenge from the emergence of Roberto Vannacci’s far-right party, which threatens to upset the balance Meloni has maintained.
