Overview
- Meloni reached 1,413 days in office on Friday, September 4, 2026, making her the longest continuously serving Italian premier since World War II.
- Her three‑party coalition keeps a solid parliamentary majority and has delivered fiscal consolidation that earned trust from the European Commission and financial markets.
- A national referendum rejected the government’s justice overhaul and led to the resignations of ministers Giorgia Santanchè and Gian Marco Delmastro, weakening the administration’s reform agenda.
- Tough migration measures, including the Cutro decree, restrictions on rescue NGOs and plans for reception centres in Albania, have reduced arrivals on paper but face legal and practical limits.
- Persistent problems such as long health‑care waiting lists, high youth unemployment and growing friction inside Forza Italia and the Lega leave Meloni politically constrained going into the 2027 election season.
