Italian Prime Minister Giorgi Meloni is considering holding the country’s next general election earlier than the legally established deadline, in April next year, as reported by the Bloomberg. According to the source, the Prime Minister has already held relevant consultations with the office of Italian President Sergio Mattarella in this regard. According to the country’s electoral law, the head of state has the power to dissolve parliament and set the date for elections.
The head of state’s desire to hold the elections early is explained by the political situation in the country and concerns that the elections to be held at the end of 2027 will not give the new government enough time to approve the state budget. The head of state also warns of a decline in his political rating in the future.
