(ANSA) - ROME, 04 SET - Premier Giorgia Meloni said she enjoyed more support than on her first day in office as she celebrated Friday her government becoming the longest in the history of the Italian republic at a rally in Bari organised by her right-wing brothers of Italy (FdI) party. "The most stable government is not necessarily the most capable; the most stable government is simply the one that has had more time than the others to be judged, and that judgement is you, with your presence and this enthusiasm. It's you, along with the millions of Italians still standing by us," she told an adoring crowd in the Puglia port city. "We should be proud of this, not of having governed for 1,413 days, but of still having a higher support than we had on our first day." "We're not together to defeat the opponent," like those who "don't know what to do after a possible victory. We're together to build ideas. Those who join together to build ideas after 1,413 days still have a to-do list, that's the difference." Meloni went on to say that stability was the first great reform of her government, which is the 68th in Italy's 80-year history. "Stability is the first major reform. Italy has stopped being Europe's hot potato "We were the ones who kept changing governments, and at international conferences, international interlocutors would say, 'How long will this last?' Those treated like this can't negotiate, can't assert their own interests. "With stability," she added, "you can dictate decisions instead of submitting to them; you can set the course." She admitted that sometimes things had been hard for her, Italy's first woman premier, but she had never given up. "There were days when I felt like I was swimming in glue, but I never gave up, and I don't intend to now." It must be said that we haven't exactly been lucky in these four years," said Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, speaking from the stage at the port of Bari, set up to celebrate the achievement of the longest-serving government in the history of the Republic. The prime minister cited the government's highlights, from the chaos in the Middle East to Hormuz, from skyrocketing fuel prices to the Ischia landslide, the flooding in Emilia Romagna, terrorism, and teen gangs. "We lacked nothing," she added, "but I'm only saying this to remind each of us that a nation without leadership would have paid a very high price, its citizens would have paid it. Stability hasn't been a fad but a shield. Thanks to this stability, we have protected this nation. "I tell our ruling class that we must do more and better, but to those who intend to hinder us I say 'make yourselves comfortable, you don't understand who you're dealing with.'" The government has kept "the accounts in order" and has done so "because we are true patriots, light years away from those who have devastated state finances with measures like the Superbonus."
