Giorgia Meloni just shattered Italy’s political record, becoming the longest-serving prime minister since WWII with over 1,400 days in office — outlasting even Silvio Berlusconi. Leading a fragile three-party coalition, she’s defied early skeptics by keeping the government stable amid a fractured opposition. On the global stage, she’s earned praise for standing firm against Trump’s tariffs and rallying behind Ukraine — boosting her credibility with Washington. Domestically, however, challenges linger: economic stagnation, youth unemployment, and stalled reforms like judicial overhaul continue to haunt her. Her success in curbing migrant arrivals has drawn international applause, but a surging far-right challenger threatens to erode her coalition’s base — forcing Meloni into a high-stakes balancing act as she eyes re-election.
