  "account": "Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni has made history by surpassing the previous record for the longest uninterrupted ruling government in Italy's history. Her government, which has been in power for 1,413 days since October 22, 2022, has outlasted Silvio Berlusconi's two terms, which lasted 1,412 days in total. Meloni, who leads a right-wing and conservative coalition of three parties, has managed to maintain stability unlike her predecessors who typically only held office for an average of 13 months since 1946. The Italian politician, known for her radical stance and criticism of the EU, has been positioning herself as a reliable partner for Europe and an ally of Ukraine. However, recent setbacks, such as the failure of her justice reform referendum and a vote on electoral reform, have raised concerns about her ability to maintain her record. Meloni recently reacted to these challenges by criticizing the EU and positioning herself against a new right-wing party that emerged from a far-right group, threatening her political dominance.",
  "summary": "1.413 Tage am Stück ist sie nun schon Regierungschefin - für Italien untypisch lang. Die Rechtspolitikerin regiert stabil, doch es gibt erste Risse. Erreicht sie bald noch einen weiteren Meilenstein?",
