Rome, 4th Sept: Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni said her government has become the longest-serving government in the history of the Italian Republic, describing the milestone as a matter of gratitude and responsibility.
Meloni said political stability should not be viewed simply as a record but as a condition that allows a country to plan, make decisions, honour commitments and strengthen its standing internationally.
She said her government had worked to increase employment, reduce unemployment, support families and businesses, strengthen security, manage public finances responsibly and restore Italy’s influence and credibility on the international stage.
Meloni credited the achievement to the unity of her governing coalition, saying it had remained together for four years around a common vision and a shared political project for Italy.
She also pointed out that the three longest-serving governments in Italy’s republican history are now all centre-right governments. According to Meloni, lasting stability depends on alliances sharing values, objectives and a vision for the nation rather than being united solely to prevent another political grouping from governing.
The Prime Minister credited Italian voters who gave her coalition their confidence in 2022, saying that mandate had never been considered a “blank cheque” and would not be taken for granted.
Meloni said her government would return to voters next year with an account of its achievements, the work that remains and its vision for Italy’s future. She said citizens would once again decide whether the government deserved to continue its course.
She also said the government’s work would continue and announced her participation in an event in Bari with the Fratelli d’Italia community, where she would discuss the progress made and the challenges ahead.
