The Italian Prime Minister has a growing unpopularity among young voters. Reuters reports that Meloni’s coalition now has less than 30% of voting support among under-35-year-olds, compared with nearly 50% for the opposition bloc. Analysts point to limited progress on issues affecting young people—including jobs and economic opportunities—as well as the government’s law-and-order measures that affect issues and groups that are larger among young people as some of the sources of their frustration. Meloni’s failure to attract the young has led not only to voter apathy, but also efforts to sink her political efforts. With Italy’s 2027 election shaping up to be a close race, her unpopularity among young voters could become a major factor in determining who wins. (Reuters)
