En Italie, Giorgia Meloni bat un record de longévité et lance sa campagne pour 2027

On 4 September 2026 in Italy, Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni's government became the longest-serving of the post-war era, at 1,413 days according to WELT, surpassing the 1,412-day record of Berlusconi cited by Republic World. Meloni marked the milestone at a rally in Bari and said she had more support than on her first day. Modi, Erdoğan, Aliyev and Takaichi congratulated her.

The record came with Italy's next vote in sight. Corriere della Sera reported the possibility of national elections in May 2027 alongside local elections, with contacts opened with the Pd. Meloni said her government was mobilised over a possible Russian attempt to sway the vote, and said new prisons would ensure certainty of punishment, with no pardons or amnesties.
