The Meloni government makes history for its longevity, Conte's sharp reply.

The government led by Giorgia Meloni has reached a significant milestone, becoming the fourth longest-serving government in the history of the Italian Republic. This achievement underscores a certain political stability in a climate often characterized by rapid government collapses. However, this record has not gone unnoticed by the opposition: Giuseppe Conte responded with a sharp retort, questioning the value of this longevity and criticizing some of the government's political choices.
The political conflict thus heats up not only over numbers, but also over the future of the country.
Meloni celebrates 1,024 days in government, but the social crisis still weighs heavily.This morning, Giorgia Meloni celebrated her 1,024th day in office on social media, becoming the fourth longest-serving government in Italian history. While Palazzo Chigi celebrates this achievement, worrying data is emerging: according to a report from Il Sole 24 Ore, in the first six months of the year, INPS authorized approximately 314 million hours of redundancy payments , affecting over 304,000 workers, 90% of whom were employed in industrial sectors.
Five Star Movement leader Giuseppe Conte emphasized that these workers have lost an average of €3,000 net in wages during a period when consumer prices are also rising. Specifically, in the mechanical and metalworking sectors, requests for redundancy payments have increased by over 35% compared to the same period in 2024.
Conte harshly criticized the government's actions , accusing it of failing to adopt effective measures to protect wages, rejecting the introduction of a minimum wage, and rejecting his party's proposal to supplement the salaries of workers on furlough.
"In 1,024 days, the government hasn't implemented a single serious wage measure. It has rejected the minimum wage and even rejected our proposal to supplement the salaries of those on temporary layoff, thus protecting their purchasing power. Meloni is celebrating, but Italians aren't ."
For several weeks now, Meloni had surpassed Conte in terms of length of government , reaching 1,024 days compared to the former prime minister's total of 988 in his two terms.
