Giorgia Meloni Vows to Serve Full Term as Prime Minister

Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni announced Wednesday that she intends to remain in office until the end of the legislature, which expires next autumn. Speaking at a news conference in Rome following a cabinet meeting, Meloni dismissed speculation that she would call for an early election, stating she intends to govern as long as she maintains a "strong and solid majority."

Her administration has become the longest-serving government in Italy since World War Two. However, the conservative coalition—comprising the Brothers of Italy, the League, and Forza Italia—has faced increasing pressure. Internal instability was highlighted by a July defeat in the lower house over a government amendment for electoral reform.

Meloni's decision comes amid a rise in support for National Future, a new far-right movement led by former general Roberto Vannacci. This movement has drawn backing away from the ruling coalition, challenging the stability of the current government.
