Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni has suffered a surprise defeat in Parliament after a crucial vote on her electoral law reform, opening new discussions about the stability of the government and the possibility of early elections.

In a secret ballot in the Chamber of Deputies, an amendment aimed at restoring the preferential vote received support from opposition MPs and some MPs from the ruling majority. The result was close: 188 MPs voted against the proposal, while 187 voted in favor. According to reports, about 30 MPs from the coalition led by Meloni did not support the government's position.

The defeat has caused tensions within the parliamentary majority, while Giorgia Meloni herself admitted that an internal "reflection" is needed to understand the reasons for this division. The Italian Prime Minister must now manage the dissatisfaction within the coalition and ensure continued parliamentary support for her reforms.

The Italian opposition has reacted by demanding Meloni's resignation, arguing that the loss in a crucial vote shows the weakening of the governing majority. Meanwhile, rumors have begun to circulate in political circles in Rome about the possibility of early elections, perhaps as early as the fall, about a year before the normal end of the parliamentary term.

This situation comes after a difficult political period for the Meloni government, following the defeat in the constitutional referendum on justice reform in March. However, it remains unclear whether this parliamentary defeat will lead to a real government crisis or an internal reorganization of the majority.

Attention is now focused on the prime minister's ability to maintain coalition unity and continue her political program, in an increasingly tense climate.
