Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni is facing increasing criticism over the state of support for young people as the next election approaches. Analysts say that since taking office in 2022, her government has not done enough on the economic front to create more opportunities for younger Italians.
According to reporting, Meloni’s governing coalition currently draws support from fewer than 30% of voters under 35. While both outlets focus on the same youth-related challenge, one emphasizes the longer-term record since 2022, and the other highlights the measure of current voter support among younger age groups.
Together, the sources frame youth support as a key political pressure point for Meloni and her coalition, suggesting it could shape campaign priorities and influence how voters evaluate the government’s performance on jobs and economic prospects for younger people.
