A new opinion poll indicates that a majority of Italians are unhappy with the direction of Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni's government. According to a report by la Repubblica, 53% of respondents said the country is heading in the wrong direction under the current administration.
The survey, which was also covered by Il Fatto Quotidiano, suggests that public sentiment is turning against the government as it marks a significant milestone. The poll results come at a time when Meloni's coalition is celebrating its status as one of the longest-serving governments in the history of the Italian Republic, a point highlighted by ANSA in its coverage of a rally in Bari.
The negative assessment of the government's trajectory is a key finding, though the poll also touched on other policy priorities. Il Fatto Quotidiano reported that a separate 59% of those surveyed said they care more about tangible results than about the government's longevity as a political achievement.
