PoliticsIs Giorgia Meloni changing Italy’s rules to stay in power?

Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni has pushed through a controversial electoral reform ahead of the 2027 general election. Under the new rules, a coalition with just over 42% of the vote could win a parliamentary majority. Meloni says the changes will bring stability; opponents accuse her of rewriting the rules to remain in power. Political scientist Cecilia Emma Sottilotta and other academics have warned about the reform.
