Giorgia Meloni marked a new longevity record for an Italian government by thanking voters and arguing that center-right alliances, rather than temporary opposition to other parties, create lasting stability.
I do not believe it is a coincidence that, to date, the three longest-lasting governments in the history of the Republic have all been center-right.
Meloniโs government reached 1,413 consecutive days in office on Friday, surpassing the record set by Silvio Berlusconi during his second term from 2001 to 2005. She is also Italyโs first woman to lead a government.
โI do not believe it is a coincidence that, to date, the three longest-lasting governments in the history of the Republic have all been center-right,โ Meloni said in a message posted on social media. She added that stability comes when an alliance shares values, goals and a vision for the nation, rather than uniting only to prevent others from governing.
Stability is built when an alliance shares values, goals and a vision of the nation, not when the only reason to remain united is to prevent others from governing.
Meloni said her government had worked to increase employment, reduce unemployment, support families and businesses, strengthen security, manage public finances with integrity, and restore Italyโs international standing. She described stability not as an achievement to display, but as the condition that allows a country to plan, make decisions, meet its commitments and earn respect.
Stability is not an achievement to display, but the condition that allows a nation to plan, make decisions, fulfill its commitments and be respected.
She also stressed that the record did not belong to one person. โIt is the result of a united coalition that has governed for four years with a common vision and has chosen to remain united, not against anyone, but to make a project for Italy a reality,โ she said. Meloni credited Italians who voted for her coalition in 2022 and said that voters would next year be shown what the government had achieved, what remained unfinished and its vision for the future. She planned to mark the occasion at a Brothers of Italy event in Bari, in southern Italy.
