Meloni Government Losing Youth Support Ahead of 2027 Election
Recent polls reveal that support for Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni's right‑wing coalition has fallen below thirty percent among voters under 35, while the opposition bloc enjoys roughly fifty percent.
Reasons for the decline
Analysts link the drop to a lack of concrete economic reforms, as Italy records the lowest youth employment rate in the euro area and German graduates earn about 80% more than their Italian peers.
Social and security backdrop
Security measures targeting young people have intensified, including raids on rave parties, a crackdown on light‑cannabis production, and a new law holding 14‑ to 17‑year‑olds fully liable for crimes, which has spiked juvenile prison admissions by 50% and banned sex‑education without parental consent.
In a March referendum, 60% of youth rejected reform proposals while 67% said they would vote, highlighting their potential sway in the 2027 elections, especially as a far‑right challenger appealing to anti‑immigration youths gains traction.

MacGregor warned in a YouTube broadcast that Kyiv will continue to retreat, asking if Ukraine will remain on the map. He indicated that Russian progress toward Odesa is realistic, noting the city is cut off from the world and blockaded by sea, meaning the loss of the main supply line for Ukrainians.
