Giorgia Meloni is Italy’s great political survivor. Could one man be about to bring her down? | Riccardo Alcaro

Giorgia Meloni's government in Italy has become the longest serving in the country's republican history. This milestone is significant because it shows Meloni's ability to maintain power despite the challenges of Italian politics. Her personal approval rating of about 41% is also one of the highest among west European leaders, indicating her popularity among the Italian people. However, a new far-right movement led by Roberto Vannacci could potentially threaten Meloni's position, especially with elections looming in 2027.

Why it matters

The emergence of a new far-right movement could lead to political instability in Italy, affecting investor sentiment. This could potentially lead to a decline in Italian equities.
