Everything is ready, in Bari, for the big celebration promoted by Brothers of Italy in honor of the longevity record that the Government will reach tomorrow, when Giorgia Meloni will surpass the second Executive of Silvio Berlusconi and reach the milestone of 1,413 days at Palazzo Chigi. Preparing the ground for the challenge of the next political elections under the banner of the two key issues that the Prime Minister had already indicated at the press conference at the beginning of the year: growth and security.

An Fdi dossier claims the results
“The most stable Government, a stronger Italy” reads the 28-page brochure with 23 titles released yesterday by Fdi to claim the results achieved since October 2022. It ranges from employment (with the historic peak of 63.2% and unemployment at 5.8%) to taxes with the Irpef reform and the reduction of the tax wedge (“over 21 billion directly put into the pockets of Italians”), from unlocked contracts to the spread collapsed to less than 80 basis points, from France being overtaken on government bond yields to the 80% reduction in migrant landings from January to July compared to 2023. Not missing are the Mattei Plan, “zero tolerance with crime,” the Caivano model. Nor the increase of the National Health Fund from 126 billion in 2022 to almost 143 in 2026, measures for families, support for women who suffer violence and the crime of femicide, the new cinema law and the one on AI, the 2.7% increase in exports from 2022 to 2025 (to over 643 billion), tourism on the rise, “the rebirth of agriculture,” school and university reforms, the single Zes, sport in the Constitution.
Between the energy alarm and missed reforms
But Meloni knows that in the Apulian capital, where 10,000 people are expected, she cannot overdo it with triumphalism. The document includes the effort on energy, a palliative compared to fuel and gas prices that continue to rise. There is a brief mention of the centers in Albania, a flop on which the Prime Minister does not intend to give up, recalling that Italy has “opened the way” in Europe. The reference to the just completed Pnrr is weak, whose conclusion unsettles businesses. Any reference to failed reforms is absent – justice rejected by the referendum, the premiership left in the drawer, autonomy emptied, Rome Capital stranded – and to the electoral reform that is draining and will drain so much energy.

The value of stability
But Meloni will refer to the new voting rules to celebrate the success that is dearest to her: stability. The value on which she has bet everything and which, she is convinced, has allowed Italy to sail proudly through the storms of the wars in Ukraine, Gaza and Iran. Despite the shipwreck of the other bet: that on the relationship with Donald Trump, which instead proved to be a harbinger of clouds, between tariffs and insults. The global waves remain more than threatening, the internal ones suffer from competition on the right from General Vannacci and the troubles within the allies’ camp, whom she met at her home on Monday for the recovery summit: in Bari the secretary of the League Matteo Salvini and the number one of Fi Antonio Tajani will connect, the president of Noi Moderati Maurizio Lupi will be present. Raffaele Fitto, Meloni’s loyalist in Brussels, will also intervene.
The attack on the “counter-narrative” of the left
The Fdi leader, who will continue to refine her speech today, wants to dismantle the “counter-narrative of the left.” “In years when only locusts were missing – she jokes with her supporters – we have shown concrete commitment and achieved tangible results. Far from mere drifting.” The militants expect announcements on security, energy and taxes ahead of the budget law, such as expanding the scope of the Irpef cut and the one-time tax exemption of the thirteenth month pay. EU flexibility on energy and defense investments helps. And there is strong hope for exiting the EU excessive deficit procedure: for the underdog of Garbatella it would be another medal to pin on her chest. Horizon spring 2027. Tomorrow, in fact, the race will open.
