A thousand more? As the government reaches its thousand-day milestone, its record is marked by goals and commitments, challenges and complexity.
- Our sister website Formiche.net is gathering key perspectives to assess Prime Minister Meloni’s international impact—one that leans toward a positive trajectory.
Atlantic Consistency. “The government has been consistent in its Atlanticism. That might seem obvious to some, but it’s not, especially when compared to the broader historical context—Italy has, in the past, adopted Third-Worldist and discordant tones,” notes Alessandro Minuto Rizzo, former NATO Deputy Secretary General (2001–2007) and now President of the NATO Defense College Foundation.
Order and Form. “Meloni has built her communicative leadership on a very simple principle: governance is not just about making decisions, but about projecting the ability to decide. That’s where form comes into play—and in her case, that form is order,” writes Martina Carone, strategic communications consultant at Quorum/YouTrend and media analysis lecturer at the University of Padua.
Europe and Meloni. “The fact that one part of ECR has attacked Ursula von der Leyen while another part has defended her reveals how Meloni’s ambition—and that of the Brothers of Italy’s delegation in the European Parliament—is creating disruption both on the right and the left. From my point of view, this could offer genuine hope for a Europe that seeks change,” observes Mario Mauro, former Defence Minister, former Vice President of the European Parliament, and a close ally of EPP group leader Manfred Weber.
