Giorgia Meloni’s centre-right coalition has delivered Italy’s longest-serving postwar government since October 2022, reaching a record tenure in September 2026 while maintaining a parliamentary majority. Meloni has publicly committed to serving until the legislature ends in autumn 2027, rejecting speculation about an early election. Key pressures include rising support for the further-right Futuro Nazionale party led by Roberto Vannacci, which is drawing votes from her Brothers of Italy base on immigration and cultural issues, alongside internal coalition strains over electoral reform that would award a majority bonus to alliances exceeding 42 percent. Recent policy moves, such as proposed bans on full-face veils in schools and caps on foreign students, aim to shore up that flank. Centre-left opposition remains competitive in polls, and any erosion of coalition discipline ahead of the 2027 vote could alter stability assessments.
