Italy’s governing party, led by allies of Meloni, pushes for stability and pro-market reforms amid a reshaped electoral framework.
Como's mayor has announced a measure banning cyclists from riding on about 30 central streets, requiring them to dismount and walk. The move aims to boost public safety amid congestion and a surge in tourist traffic. The policy is part of a broader traffic plan that includes a limited-traffic zone in the historic centre.
Italy has reached 1,413-1,414 days in office, making Meloni's administration the longest uninterrupted single government since World War II. Supporters credit stability with economic gains; critics argue long-term growth remains a question as the next election looms.
Italy has moved to a fully proportional electoral system with a bonus for coalitions overtaking 42% in both chambers. The change, approved in a secret ballot, aims to deliver stable governance but faces legal challenges and splits within the ruling coalition. Debates focus on whether the measure would distort representation and affect the next general election.
