義大利總理梅洛尼表示，她的目標是留任至任期結束

羅馬，9月16日（路透社）——義大利總理喬治亞・梅洛尼週三表示，她打算留任至本屆國會任期結束，並駁斥媒體揣測她可能在任期於明年秋天屆滿前尋求提前大選。ROME, Sept 16 (Reuters) - Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni said on Wednesday she intended to remain in office until the end of the legislature, dismissing media speculation that she might seek an early election before her term expires next autumn.

梅洛尼在內閣會議後的記者會上表示：「我希望能留任到本屆國會任期結束。我對這個政府的穩定性有幾分自豪。」"I would like to stay in office until the end of the legislature. I've taken some pride in the stability of this government," Meloni told a news conference following a cabinet meeting.

梅洛尼領導的政府本月成為義大利自第二次世界大戰以來執政時間最長的政府。她領導的保守派聯盟由其所屬的義大利兄弟黨、聯盟黨以及義大利力量黨組成。Meloni, whose government this month became Italy's longest-serving administration since World War Two, leads a conservative coalition comprising her Brothers of Italy party, the League and Forza Italia.

由前將領羅貝托・萬納奇（Roberto Vannacci）領導的新極右翼運動「國民未來」（National Future）支持度大增，已侵蝕梅洛尼陣營的支持，並引發外界揣測她可能試圖推動提前大選，以避免支持度進一步下滑。A surge in support for National Future, a new far-right movement led by former general Roberto Vannacci, has eaten into backing for Meloni's camp and fuelled speculation that she might try to force a snap election to avoid any further slippage.

她與副總理馬泰歐・薩爾維尼（Matteo Salvini）及安東尼奧・塔加尼（Antonio Tajani）一同發言時表示：「只要我擁有這個強大且穩固的多數，我們就打算繼續執政。」薩爾維尼與塔加尼分別是聯盟黨與義大利力量黨領袖。"We intend to continue governing for as long as I have this strong and solid majority," she said, speaking alongside Deputy Prime Ministers Matteo Salvini and Antonio Tajani, the leaders of the League and Forza Italia respectively.

不過，近幾個月來，執政聯盟的道路往往並不順遂，顯示隨著選舉逼近，梅洛尼對這個聯盟原本牢固的掌控可能正在鬆動。However, the coalition's path has often been far from smooth in recent months, indicating that Meloni may be losing her once firm grip on the alliance as the election approaches.

7月，在執政聯盟內部有人倒戈後，下議院出乎意料地否決了一項與選舉改革相關、並獲梅洛尼大力支持的政府修正案。In July, the lower house unexpectedly rejected a government amendment linked to an electoral reform strongly backed by Meloni, after defections from within the ruling coalition.
