Summary
Italy’s democracy is under fire as Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni’s far-right coalition pushes to tighten control over courts, media, and elections ahead of 2027’s vote. Migrants, women seeking abortions, and journalists are bearing the brunt — with Italy now ranked 56th in press freedom. Critics question how the country, Europe’s biggest EU recovery fund recipient, is spending the money — and whether coalition partners are losing credibility. The resignation of RAI’s oversight committee signals deeper cracks in media independence, raising alarms about Italy’s democratic future.
