While Silvio Berlusconi holds the record for the greatest total time spent as prime minister, Meloni's cabinet has maintained continuous rule for a longer period than any previous individual cabinet. By the time she reaches this milestone, Meloni will have served longer than former German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, whose tenure lasted 1,245 days. In contrast, during her time in office, France has seen five prime ministers and Britain has had four. Meloni has developed into an influential figure within the European Union. Her government has focused on political continuity and stability rather than a political revolution. Despite recent strains in her relationship with President Trump, she has remained firm in her position. Her public image has also gained popularity online, with her facial expressions and a meeting with French President Emmanuel Macron becoming viral memes.
