# Giorgia Meloni is sworn in as Prime Minister of Italy

Date: 2022

## The fact

On 22 October 2022 [Giorgia Meloni](/people/mig-giorgia-meloni) took oath as President of the Council of Ministers before President [Sergio Mattarella](/people/sergio-mattarella), Italy’s first woman premier.

## Context

The President appointed her after the election. Coalition partners [Salvini](/people/matteo-salvini) and [Tajani](/people/antonio-tajani) became deputies. Same-week decrees are neighbouring later instruments.

The 25 September election is a neighbouring earlier civic event. The rave decree of 31 October is a neighbouring later instrument.

The President of the Council of Ministers of Italy heads the government. Parliament writes statutes; the President of the Republic promulgates; regions and ministries implement; courts can stay a decree. A premier can decree, sign protocols, and take an oath. She does not write a Council regulation in Brussels, an Albanian constitutional-court judgment, or a G7 communique by herself.

## Evidence and sources

Presidency of the Italian Republic carries the official instrument or communique. Reuters records the same dated act independently.

## Significance

The path is [democratic resilience](/drivers/democratic-resilience): a completed scheduled appointment after a certified election is a procedural event.

## What is established and what is not

Established: a 22 October 2022 oath as Prime Minister before the President of the Republic.

What would change the picture: a contradictory original with a different date or name, a later repeal, a court that vacated the instrument, or a measured series that can be argued, with lag and alternatives, as a consequence of this instrument rather than of later institutions.

The date is the date of this instrument, not a licence to back-date every later harm or benefit.

The President appointed her. Coalition partners then received portfolios.. A later repeal, court stay, or successor order would be a different Fact with a different date. That pair identifies Giorgia Meloni is sworn in as Prime Minister of Italy, not a later speech about Giorgia Meloni is sworn in as Prime Minister of Italy.

Co-authors and later implementers named in Context remain on the file. Giorgia Meloni is sworn in as Prime Minister of Italy on 2022-10-22 is not a licence to treat every later Presidency of the Italian Republic communique as this same act. If a later repeal, stay, or successor decree exists, it needs its own date and its own row. This dossier refuses to average Giorgia Meloni is sworn in as Prime Minister of Italy into a personality. The contribution described on this Person row is limited to She took the oath. The President appointed her. Coalition partners then received portfolios. That limit is the alternative to treating office-holding as authorship of every later series. The Chamber, the Senate, the Quirinale, the League, [Forza Italia](/organizations/forza-italia), prefects, and foreign counterparties share specific files. Allegation is not a completed judgment. An Albanian court stay is not a criminal conviction. A decree-law is not a unique CPI coefficient. A G7 chairmanship is not a delivered emissions path.
